Hey can anyone help me?

Is it true that when skyline hit the 100kms mark is harder to sell?

What do you think of purchasing one at this mileage series 2??

a fully stock one....guess i will be selling when is around 120kms mark...

[fane]

its harder to sell any car when its close to 100thou

its because of the timing belt and major service

if the car has been done then good but if it hasnt then you will have to get a service done that will probably cost you ~$1k because of the labour involved in changing the timing belt....also it can be higher and lower than that depending what other stuff may need changing, brake disks, pads, stuff like that...

to me, the 100k mileage means fark all if the car has been well kept and maintained..

as long as all servicing has been carried out as required.. and compression is good... and car is in good condition for its age.. then mileage shouldnt matter so much esp if its 120k..

not like its 400k taxi mileage

100k is the old fabled stupid "dont touch this car" attitude. over 100k is fine as bam said, if it's been properly maintaned.

The nissan engines can last a lifetime, regardless of it's redline life.

I service my car religiously every 4000k's and its never missed a beat

The RB26 in my R went bang (actually "clunk shudder-shudder clunk") before 100k.

Service, abuse and just plain luck all come into it. Some basic checks like compression checks, oil in the IC piping etc should give you some indication.

i'm pushing 180k and going strong. just got to find the grand for 2nd timing belt lol.

[DiPsHiT]

1k for timing belt? did i get dodgy ones or sumfin? coz i got charged jus over 500 for timing belt and spark plugs at midas...

[G0DF4Th3R]

yeah thats abt right if its just timing belt and labour for it..

usually the major service is 1k includes a whole lot more

[skyzerr33]

yeah the water pump replacement and labour for it adds to the cost might just go with the belt change as it is considerably cheaper.
