hmm depends on the overall condtion of the car itself.

my r33 has 130,000km and drives as good as the day i bought it (90,000km) and its a 1993

Maybe get a compression test or leak down test done on the engine if you are undersure about the condtion of it (that is if ur interested in buying it after you seen it)

god i'm so sick of people thinking that any car over 70,000km is going to be a thrashed out piece of crap...

My R32 GTS-t has 194,000km on it... its still running fine with only a few things having failed, such as a turbo and a fuel pump (touch wood)

Friend of mine had a Mazda MX6 Turbo.. that thing had close to 300,000km on it, and that thing went hard!

My brothers Mazda RX7 has 250,000km on it and there's nothing majorly wrong with it

My brothers old Toyota sprinter had 350,000km on it, and the only thing wrong with it is low compression on one cylinder...

sensing a trend here?

you can go buy a 'low km' vehicle if it makes you feel good about yourself... i can pretty much guarantee you that its done two, or maybe even 3 times what the odometer says though...

judge a car on the condition of it... not the km's

i've seen 1989 15 year old import rule shitters that come in with like 70 or 80,000km yet they look like they've just gone 10 rounds with Mohammed Ali, compared to some higher km vehicles, such as mine, that are looked after, and maintained, and constantly get people commenting on how good condition it is etc.

I think the highest k's I saw on a car out of japan was on a bus. It had 1 million k's on it with logs.

150,000km's is fine, as long as the car itself is in a good condition and the engine is healthy (do the checks mentioned before to find that out).

Also consider that a 1993 R32 probably came in under the old CPA scheme back in 2003/2004, so its probably clocked a fair chuck of mileage in australia. Apparently aussies add about 20,000km per year to their car.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
