30,000 MILES!!! And 1 whole year this month! I can't believe it! This car LOVES/LIVES to be driven. The comfort, the style, the SPEED, I love it! Can't get enough. The Z and I have been through a lot and it's been difficult (for a regular person), but here's to the future with The Z!

I just broke 5000 miles today!!

I just created my Z Instagram, because every time I'm out and I hang with someone with a 350z or 370z, they ask if I have one. Let me know what I should share there, I'm kinda new to having something to social network about lol.

I'm on Instagram as @nssnz_2023. https://www.instagram.com/nssnz_2023

Are you actually making any money? I love my car, and the thought of having a job based on driving it is appealing in some ways, but.. Gas is expensive, we use premium and the mileage we get is.. Not great.

If you are willing to not fill the tank up all the way, yes I make money. With a $40 fill-up per day, I get around 3/4 tank, which is 6-8 hrs of work. And this car is very consistent. A lot of it is low RPM, calm driving (for me at least lol). It just depends on if the DoorDash gods have mercy on my soul that I can make at least $100 per day, sometimes $200.

The good thing is that when I'm driving the Z, it's super fun. So it's not unheard of for me to work a 10-12 hr shift lol.

I LOVE the non-spoiler look! I've been thinking about removing my spoiler. It just has a clean look that I can't get enough of. And I agree, those wheels are nice for the "low-cost" option. They fit really well.

My 2007 Titan has the same light, I changed mine out to a slightly brighter red LED.
Must be a Nissan thing, none of my other brands I own have it.

My '18 Lexus GS350 has one of these LED lights, it's just a pure clear white

For a while, at around 28-30K miles, I had been getting the handbrake "BRAKE" light popping on whenever I accelerated from a stop, then go out.



And it got worse over time. At first, it came on every other time, then more often. Then it was every time. I figured "maybe this car has some sort of low brake pad sensor nobody knows about", which would actually be pretty awesome.

But then, at 32K, the traction, auto braking, and collision warning lights would come on with a Malfunction warning.

This scared me a little. It didn't affect how it drove, but this told me not to try to do any slideways turns.

Turns out, it was indeed low brake pads (allegedly). I changed my front pads, and both problems went away. The original pads pads still had a fair bit of meat to them, but I guess the traction and auto braking systems are picky.

This is just a warning to those who want to put miles on. This car has a picky personality. And it's mouthy to boot. Lol.

Good to know. I wonder who on this forum has the highest milage Z...

"maybe this car has some sort of low brake pad sensor nobody knows about"

Actually I bet the pads getting low made the fluid level in the brake reservoir get low enough enough that the brake light comes on. Which is why there was a period were it would come on and off from start/stop driving.
