Hi guys,

Just wanting a second opinion on an s15 that i'm looking at importing (sorry that its not a skyline, but its still a nissan :( ). It is for a relatively cheaper price than the aus spec is in very good condition inside and out (from what i can see). The only thing that is stopping me from buying is the fact that it has 92000 kms. Can anyone who has n s15 with km's close to this please tell me how the car is.This is probably a stupid question and the kms are still probably fine but jsut wanting a second opionion. Are repairs gonna be occuring more. How is the engine and everything else and also, how is the car on the inside. I noticed alot of squeeks and rattles on the inside of my r33 gtst that are really REALLY annoying. Does this happen with the s15 with this amount of km's. How many km's usually until the car start falling apart. Let me know guys. Cheers.

Richard

It's hard to say whether things will go wrong at those kms. It really depend on how the previous owner treats the car.

Squeeks and rattles are normal for the jap cars. Even my previous 2002 model Audi have some rattles in the cabin.

What i heard from the S15 owners, your LHS window will start to rattle a bit at high speeds. Not sure if that's true or some BS. SR20s run on timing chains so you won't need to do a timing chain change at 100ks.

I didn't believe that a 89 model car has 90000 kms but something like a 99 model is different. The car that i;m lookin at currently says 42000 kms but the supplier says that the correct kms are 92000.

      The way they do the test you would be very lucky to ever hit any cell that isn't aiming at 14.7 This was my result... Really not sure what's going on there!

      I have a projecta one.  A proper trickle charger can be left attached 24x7, that's what the trickle bit is about.

      With an electronic boost controller, there are settings available to limit overboost.

      Ah ok, my tuner did adjust something on the percentage cycle on the boost controller, instead of running at 40% the tuner put it on 20% to compensate for the overboost, can't remember what it was. Not duty cycle don't think, and told me if it keeps overboosting, it's going to be something else. I think he mentioned the turbo actuator.

      Which trickle charger does everyone use? I'm going on holidays in the future, and last time it was left for a couple weeks off twice per time, and don't want to keep doing it to damage my battery so looking to have something hooked up to the battery which connected to the car, as I need to keep my immobiliser system on. If the battery goes flat it will mess up my security system (already happened once) I was looking at the following, so can have someone turn it on every couple of days and run it overnight then turn it off)   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/noco-noco-genius-5-battery-charger-6v-12v-5-amp/648987.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=1   https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/century-century-cc1206-xli-12v-1-3-6a-9-stage-battery-charger/693006.html?cgid=SCA01060203#srsltid=AfmBOoq4kzQgrm1YHSZT0DzaCwVwwOcevgu0TSDcUvrNeOqI-0S5xJ1C&start=30   though these don't say anything about trickle charging, don't want it to overcharge the battery.
