Nissan Maxima coils start to go out at that mileage. Some go longer,
some a little shorter. Check out Maxmima.org if you like to see how
many guys have replaced one or more starting about 60-75k My
CA16DOHC, another Nissan I had with direct coils, lost one a about
75K.
Likewise Saab direct systems usually go at about 75k, as do Audi. BMW
seems to do slightly better but loses some too at high miles. (Not
counting the recent Saab and Audi quality issues with some major runs
of these parts).
