Nissan warrants the CVT up to 120k anyway, so popping them at 55k is a minor inconvenience as they give you something to drive while they swap it anyway. |

I use to have an 08 3.5SE Sedan with a 6spd. Hold on to this one because Nissan has lost their minds and dropped the V6 from the Coupes line up. Oh and all the talk about problems, I still know the guy who owns her now he has 50k+ on it with not one problem at all to report.

I never had an issue with my CVT and I drove mine hard, but it did have a mind of it's own. Some days it was very alive and peppy while other days it was very laggy. Do I regret it? Not one bit. However, I probably won't own another CVT vehicle for awhile. It's come a long way but I think it's got a ways to go still. |

I had three Nissans with VQ V6s with over 100,000 miles across the three and never had a single problem related to the engine. My friend has 296,000 miles on his 2000 Maxima and has only ever replaced the starter and radiator aside from routine maintenance. Far more successes with the VQ platform than failures. Now the QR... different story. |
Agree. The Z is my second VQ and I love it. I do, however, miss the silky smooth 3.5 in my '08 Altima. The 3.7 definitely has more grunt, but the 3.5 sounds better when delivering it's power.

How did you like the Greddy catback? I definitely want an exhaust, but not sure which one. I don't want it to be too loud, nor too soft. That is interesting that you mention the brake fluid being too low because my VDC light randomly came on when I went around the corner to the grocery store one day. I'll have to check into that. :tiphat:

I drove mine daily for a couple years in that configuration. I loved every mile. Perfect for that motor. Of the exhausts available for the AC, get the Greddy. It is expensive, but buy once cry once. The only other one to look at is Tanabe, but it is only muffler swap. Everything else pales in comparison to the fit and finish of these. The Greddy TiC is nice, but I like the OEM-like fitment of the SE better for that car. |

Yeah, I definitely don't want to spend too much money on one, but I'll look into it and see what I can swing. A muffler swap is kind of half a$$ing it I think.

Nice car, the only thing I am jealous of is the sunroof! It is such a nice feature to have on a car, especially a coupe to let some light in the cabin but oh well. Enjoy the new ride!
