lol@thread "look how far back MY speedo was wound" :(

I don't usually pay much attention to the km's on used imports, only the condition so if it is wound back.....meh !

To be completely honest though, this 34 is in such awesome condition I think the km's could be accurate :P

I remember seeing in a Jap Mag in Osaka an odo pic that was 123,456.7km which I thought was a damn fine effort :)

Has anyone gone past the 999 999 mark? Doesn't have to be with your Skyline. Maybe an old family car or something.

few cars have, but dunno if they took pics. world record is like nearly 3 million kms i think, some guy with a volvo

One of my friends EL Falcon which was once upon a time a taxi is about to click over to 1 million KM's. If I am not wrong that should go back to 0000000 or something similar lol

Will get a picture of it once it does.

Still on factory motor too lol

a mates ute has gone over 1 million k's, think its already up to 400,000 or something like that, was his dads old work ute that he had been travelling to and from sydney every day since 1985 when he bought it new till a couple of years ago, runs on gas, has had 2 engine rebuilds, gearbox rebuild, and had the oil, filter and plugs changed every 10,000 religiously, still going like it came out of the factory.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
