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:

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
