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.

you dont actually believe the cars have done the kilometres shown on the speedo do you..........

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.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
