looking for a cheap little pulsar for a daily.

the only examples in my price range are edging on 200,000+ kms.

ive never owned a pulsar past the 200,000k mark, how do they hold up? obviously its all subjective to how they have been looked after/ driven.

there are plenty for sale rearing the 300k mark, so i guess its got another 100k left in it?

FYI it2 200,000+ k's on 1999-2003 models.

cheers adam

My daughter bought this about 2 and a half years ago......

A 1 owner 1990 Pulsar Reebok..... Not for sale but I thought you may find it interesting.

It had original radio, original 1990 spare tyre. She has modernised it a bit now but it's still a great car, now has 221,000 kms.

why are people so freaked out by the 200k km mark? ive driven cars with 300k and even 450k+ mark. still drives normally.

i remember my gti, originally had 98whp back when brand new, dynoed it when it had 225k on it, did 96whp. pretty damn nice, the block was still in perfect bore too. they were +0.01mm oversized. bretty damn good for that car. had perfect service history and everything.

^^^ that's true.

My n15 pulsar has 200xxx km on it and drives like a dream. Only thing that needed to be done was the clutch 10,000 km ago.

Remember it's not like these cars get boosted nd pushed to their limits. It runs the way it came from the factory and will run almost forever. (please don't brake pulsar) haha

My crappy daily is a 1997 1.8l lancer that had 220k on the clock when i got it off of a mate for next to nothing. It now has 295k on it and is still going strong. As long as you do the usual services/maintenance then it should be fine regardless of the amount of k's it has travelled.

Ended up putting a deposit on this.

Quite happy with the condition of a car the car considering the k's.

Only problem is an aesthetic one, the drivers seat has a small tear in it, plas sone minor paint chips on front bar.

plenty of parts around for those in the wreckers. that is the first of the renault ones as well.

I had a N15 and sold it with 425k on it. still ran well and the auto still behaved.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
