My R33 GTS-t landed with 57,000km in 2001 it now has 214,000km running 220rwkw for most of its life, now with 280rwkw (12mths) still runs fine, compression is fine it feels like it will do another 100,000km with no worries assuming no catastrophic failures of ancillary parts like fuel pump etc.

Mine has 94,000 almost, imported it with 84k 2.5 years ago, it's seen 6 months of roadwork and a fair whack of time being off road (Most recent 14 months, got it back last Thurs). Purring like a kitten after kidafa helped out with a service on the weekend :thumbsup:

My 99 RS4-S just rolled over to 200,000 last week. bought the car with 130,xxx on the clock a year ago. 95% highway driving, serviced every 10,000k's (oil / oil filter / k&n air filter clean & re-oil).

I use motul 8100 xcess 5w-40. engine is so sweet, no top end noise or bottom end noise. turbo is still smooth, and have been running 14psi using jaycar ebc for the last 30,000k's.

Going to do the timing belt and all driveline fluids next.

This car is my first experience with an RB motor and I love it.

Hey Jeremy, that is the best so far. I think a well maintained 25T can go 300.

I'm not too far behind that, 197xxxkms on my series 1. Still going strong. Just some rattles inside the car but thats probably got a lot to do with the suspension :( But driveline is great. Original turbo too. Runs 11psi. Will be stripping interior and doing a full dynamat through the whole car which should make interior noise a lot better.

Not a stag but my 93 r33 just clicked over 255000 still goes like a rocket,high boost and all the other go fast bits as well. :cheers:

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
