Today my 1999 S2 Stagea (RS4S) hit 100,000 kms, and it was kind of upsetting. It made me feel like the car had graduated to the next age of car life.

But then I realised, this is a ~15 year old car, it must be going pretty well to only be hitting 100,000 now. Right?

78,000km ('04 PNM35), and from the condition I'd say they're genuine. Still had some factory plastic protective film in places when I got it, I don't think anyone ever sat in the back.

96 model, 130k kms. Can't be sure if it's genuine. Some doubts for me are that Ive replaced the turbo. It wasn't blown but had too much shaft play. Front shocks were totally worn by 100k kms on the odo, which Im not sure if its normal since it's a heavy car with sporty shocks. Maybe too much wear on the drivers seat too. No point dwelling on it. Its running well and is in good condition now.

Just over 300,000.Killeran, I'd suggest getting Japanese History Check to prove your KLM, I think its very unlikely a car has done under 7,000klm per year every year of it's life...

I think many of the answers here would be ???,???kms.

It's been endemic in the industry for a long time.

98 rs4, bit over 228000kms, pretty good condition, it's had a turbo at some point before I bought it, only engine repairs I've done are timing belt and all front seals and water pump. Heaps of stone chips and some rust under the mirrors.

    • I’m here solo don’t have any hands to help so haven’t hit it with a timing light 
    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
