This thread is awesome it's so nice to see the Z is living up to its reputation as a reliable sports car. My last car was a WRX and while I loved it I was always in fear of getting the dreaded cracked ringlands.

Now that we have established this (I know this thread didn’t establish anything), is there anything any of you would do differently if you could go back to the day you purchased it in terms of factory options, color, etc? I considered getting the Nismo rear spoiler but decided to hold off. I know that would have caused either remorse or a trickledown effect so I guess I’m happy with my decision to not get one. Otherwise, I’m still happy with the color, options (or lack thereof…just have the splash guards and floor mats).

I hit the 5 year mark back in June and she's all mine . Got around 56,000 miles on her.

Repairs & Maintenance so far:
-Oil Changes (Ester Oil x3 per year)
-Tires (3 sets of rear/2 sets of front)(2 flat tires)
-Brake pads (2 sets)
-Brake rotor (replaced front)
-Steering lock recall (under warranty)
-Replaced instrument cluster for fuel level issue))(under warranty)(still an issue)
-6-spd transmission replaced (gears grinding/syncros)(under warranty)
-Replaced stereo head unit
-Tire Pressure Monitor (replaced once by dealership...still problematic intermittently)

Issues so far:
-The Paint. It sucks! It's thin/soft and you have very little to work with when doing paint correction. I "burned" through a quarter sized spot after working on a small section that was etched/cracked by bird dropping that dried up using very little correction with a DA.

-Floor Mats: The OEM they comes with are crap and didn't last very long, especially the driver side.

The only thing I regret is not getting the Sports Package. I was impatient and would have had to wait for it. The one I got was brought in from another dealership and it was the color I wanted and a MT. I still love the Z, but with all the stuff I've had to spend on these days, I wish I were a bit wiser with buying this thing lol. I don't regret it though.

You think he has low miles... I have about 4k on mine and I am at about 4 years 1 month of owning it.

Purchased in May 2009, covered ~120,000 klics and zero issues apart from steering lock, fuel sender bulletins and a climate control knob that needed its contacts cleaned.

Over 50 track days on the car as well.

This is a wonderful thread. Reading this makes me feel obsolete LOL. Talk about joining the party at ending time...

The only thing I would have done different is more clear bra.

I wouldn't have gotten the sport package, maybe. I have replaced everything it came with, the only thing I have from it now is the SRM, and I'm not sure if that was worth the price. Of course, I never intended to turn the car into a pure racecar when I got it either.
