Just saw this R33 whilst looking on J-spec

http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/index.php?ID=4854

It's a 1997 model and has 269,000kms

At least J-spec are honest :lol:

How common is this kind've high mileage on skylines in japan?

How many km's do RB engines last for? I know thats a bit of a 'whats the length of a piece of string' question but I'm just wondering if anyone had any opinions.

I think a lot of people would be scared to buy a skyline that had done +200,000kms but I guess there would be a lot out there that have done that many.

thanks. I'm not interested in buying this car btw, just curious.

how many kms can they last ?

well as anything you will most likely know, the way you treat it, it will treat u good back.

if its been serviced and well looked after, parts changed when recomended by nissan, turbo rebuilt and things like that, then there is nothing to say that this car wont last another 200thousand kms, just depends who buys it, how they drive it, if they mod it etc.

Remember, once you start modifying a car, your putting more stress on the components therefore creating a shorter lifespan.

ive known some of the aussie rb30's to kick past 500 thoasand with no probs

my car has 179,000 kms and is probably the nicest looking r32 I have seen come in under the 15 year rule. For eg the plenum has hardly any wear on it.. most cars with < 100,000 clicks just look shagged.

My rule of thumb is most imports usually get shaved between 50,000 - 100,000 kms

They TRIED to bring mine in showing 69,000 kms, but in reality it had done 169,000 according to the de-rego papers.

In my opinion 9 out of 10 imports are shaved. :(

You've found one that isnt. Judge it on the condition :(

Indeed - even then, the interior etc etc is in decent condition with 269,000kms, so scary to think how many KM's have been wound back off all of our skylines...

pentae: VERY true, so many R32 GTRs with 30,000kms that look screwed... the japs must laugh at how stupid we are :D

with that many kms and an auto, its a bit expensive i rrekin

if it was a manual, with those k's and in that condition at that price, you could buy it and get a rebuilt engine, or an RB26 or something and still have a very cheap s2

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
