172,100 on my 1999 SE. Just bought her 2 days ago, as far as I know, it's the original engine and transmission. Just need to replace the knock sensor and figure out what exactly is causing my EGR MIL.
My Dad bought my Max new in 95. I have a 96' SE 5 speed. It now has 448,256 miles.
It has become a money pit lately... but I can't bring myself to get rid of it. I do all my own work, just like my dad did when he had it. Runs like new... well... like it has 100k on it
Right now I'm trying to pass emissions in the state of GA. I have to replace both Oxygen Sensors and the Knock Sensor. That would make approximately $1500 to go into the car in the last 12 months. STILL NOT TOO SHABBY!!
95 GXE purchased new by me in 95 , until 2006 it had 36,000 miles on it.
now it has 62,500 I'm starting to drive it more like a normal car now.
25.5 MPG on the highway with a very heavy foot. cant complain as I Paid it off
in 2000 I just replace the crap that is old and keep on driving. Struts, axles ,starter 1 window reg, 1 Knock sensor. Lower control arms, and most other front suspension parts. and other routine fluid changes. the only fluid in the car I have not replaced is power steering. the factory exhaust is about to rust off. but still working fine.

i bought my car with roughLY 282k, I got it for 200 bucks cuz it needed a tranny and clutch. i replaced hte motor with a motor with 73K, now has about 76K,
motor with 282 still ran good, but when the guy blew the clutch, the clutch actually separated from the flywheel, and blew threw the bottom of the bell housing, blew off the starter, destroyed the flywheel, so yea im just re-doing the whole thing, its my project cuz i got another max, and a d21 4x4
tranny had 114K, and i rebuilt it, Its got a Fidanza Flywheel, Exeddy Stage 1 Clutch, Stillen Cold Air Intake, 2 3/4 cat-back exhaust (custom) all new fuel pump, lines, filter, and injectors and im now doin the interior black and grey, has two tone black and grey leather seats, and thats all i got done for it so far. but the car runs excellent, and i get 375-400 miles per tank using mobil premium gas runs the 1/4 at 13.8 at 121MPH

I got 152k on my '98. Had to do front axles, O2 sensor, knock sensor, resonator to muffler, driver side ball joint, starter and brakes/rotors but the engine still purrs like a kitten.
My brother has a '97 and I don't know how much he has done to it, I know there was a lot or exhaust work after someone stole the catalytic converter but he has 250k+ and that drive train just won't quit.
I'm about to break 40K on my 97 SE. I'll surely pass 40K this spring when she comes out of the garage after the winter hibernation. I drive her pretty conservatively. No mods, except for the variable intermittent wiper control switch from a 99 Maxima SE I installed (I don't consider that a mod, Nissan shouldn't have put that non-int wiper control in SEs in the first place). She's pretty much an SE stripper. Not many options. The non-Bose stereo sounds good enough to me... The oil has been changed 39 times since June 1997. I started running her recently with Amsoil 0W30 and a Nissan oil filter (so I can extend change intervals). I don't write down when I freshen up the power steering and brake fluid...
I've cleaned up the engine bay quite a bit since I took this pic a few weeks ago. I also use an Amsoil air filter and Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid in the tranny and power steering unit. I recently put in Bosch Platinum IR Fusion spark plugs, which work well.
Rubber is Falken ZE912 tires, which grip the road and handle pretty well. Night vision is handled with Philips Vision Plus and Osram Night Breakers in the fogs.
Thanks for looking.

1995 and its at 89,369. Bought it with a broken odometer in 2007 and never got it fixed lol. Ironically when its really cold in winter the odometer works a little bit, so I average about 500 miles per year.
I just bought my 97 SE from a family member with 220K. It was my cousins since around 2002, with 108K I believe.
Even though it's completely different from this forum but similar to this thread, my FC RX7 has 275K on the stock block, something crazy high for a rotary. Sadly the motor's getting swapped soon, the reason I bought the Max in the first place.

Hence why I took the 2.3 out of my SVO.
