370Z Durability

BGTV8 · 09-07-2013, 08:49 AM

I have a MY09, nearly 100,000klms, 24 track-days (have used 9 sets of pads, on 3rd set of rotors, and 4th set of dd tyres and 4th set of track-day tyres) and mine still comes back for more. Front wheel bearings have been replaced once and will need doing again "soon", and diff carrier bushes are rooted and now need replacing.

Oil is changed every 6000klms, gearbox and diff oil changed every 25K klicks.

You will have no worries...

The maintenance is not cheap, but the car is wholly reliable.

I'd consider this a hard-working vehicle but not an excesively flogged vehicle, and it is as good today as the day I took delivery.

The 370 is a solid car but the 350 may have been more bullet proof. I had a 300ZXtt that was bullet proof and never spent a night in the shop.

My experiences may vary from others.
