Message	I have changed several even before 60k and some look much worse than others, but why risk it? If you can afford to mod your car, you can afford to do a proper 60k to it for $500-$1000 (depending on what needs done). Currently Owned Z's: 1991 Platinum Mist Metallic "Project Car" 5spd 170k miles Previously Owned Z's: 2004 350z Enthusiast model, 6 spd, stock. 4k miles R.I.P. 1993 300zx TT Stock 141k Miles (parts car) 1994 300zx TT Stage I+ 52k Miles 1990 300zx NA Stage VII+ 55k miles 1990 300zx TT Stage II+ 89k miles Yes, this really happened...so I took a pict.
