I only got 30klm out of one of mine, but that was an rb26 not a 25

OK I'll bite ! 

And did you rebuild it after 30km ?

For mine I've got 473000km on the engine and its still going.

So looks like UWISSH is probably right !

The car has 140 been looked after goin well no signs of smoke should be good for a few more klms ? 

Do a leakdown and/or compression test. Then make sure it hasn't spun a bearing. If both of those things are fine then it will be fine for a while.

If it has been maintained and treated properly, there should be no reason to rebuild it. 

If servicing has always been neglected and the car gets limiter bashed pulling out the driveway on a cold start, then it won't be in good shape. 

Long story short, can't judge by km's. If you're worried, do a compression test. If it's running and driving sweet, continue to look after it.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
