Hi guys,

Just wanting a second opinion on an s15 that i'm looking at importing (sorry that its not a skyline, but its still a nissan :( ). It is for a relatively cheaper price than the aus spec is in very good condition inside and out (from what i can see). The only thing that is stopping me from buying is the fact that it has 92000 kms. Can anyone who has n s15 with km's close to this please tell me how the car is.This is probably a stupid question and the kms are still probably fine but jsut wanting a second opionion. Are repairs gonna be occuring more. How is the engine and everything else and also, how is the car on the inside. I noticed alot of squeeks and rattles on the inside of my r33 gtst that are really REALLY annoying. Does this happen with the s15 with this amount of km's. How many km's usually until the car start falling apart. Let me know guys. Cheers.

Richard

It's hard to say whether things will go wrong at those kms. It really depend on how the previous owner treats the car.

Squeeks and rattles are normal for the jap cars. Even my previous 2002 model Audi have some rattles in the cabin.

What i heard from the S15 owners, your LHS window will start to rattle a bit at high speeds. Not sure if that's true or some BS. SR20s run on timing chains so you won't need to do a timing chain change at 100ks.

I didn't believe that a 89 model car has 90000 kms but something like a 99 model is different. The car that i;m lookin at currently says 42000 kms but the supplier says that the correct kms are 92000.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
