Message	But my 1994 J30 with the VG30DE motor has 162,000 miles on the odometer with the motor completely stock and original from the factory (except for an alternator belt, 1 injector, battery, oil and air filter, and spark plugs), but thats expected. Probably one of the most reliable cars I've come across. 1990 Nissan 300ZXTT Stage III+ Pure sports car, 100% daily driven (dry/rain/snow)
