I'm suspicious of mine, was 3years old when I got it, only 45,000klm. Now got 86000klm, I've already changed timing belt.

Only mechanical problem has been needing a new crank angle sensor.

And heaps of brakes and tyres :)

i bought mine three years ago with 40,000 on the clock, ive got 125,000, the only things ive changed were clutches brakes 2 times, timing belt and water pump, i can hear noises coming from the diff and driveline, oh well, launching the car all those times over the years its no suprise, my car was 6years old when i bought it

I wouldn't worry about that - that's pretty much normal for a a city bound 3 year old car here. I'd say that average KM's for a 3 year old car are around 30 - 50K KM. But, if you're unsure, go by the condition of the seats, pedals, etc...

Got mine last Saturday, 71,000km on the clock, and looks genuine as the interior is immaculate as is engine bay etc.

Only problem is the second turbo decided to call it quits after driving back to Canberra from Sydney, doh :P

But Ive only had it 4 days but love it to death already :P

Got my R33 just over a year ago with 32,000 documented kilometers, just turned 38,000. I hate to see the kilometers rack up so I'm looking at getting a nice cheap low kilometer S13 Q's to drive to work in.

My last car(A31 Cefiro) I bought with 82,000 and got rid of it with 112,000 Kms. Nothing but problems with it, tranny on it was about to die(slipping) when I traded it up for the Skyline. It's great not being nickle and dimed like I was with the Cefiro now, had zero problems with the 25t :P

Reading all these posts got me thinking. Out of curiousity - what do Australians consider to be "high mileage" or "High KM's"?

It's my experience living here, in Japan, that anything over 100,000 KM is regarded as very high. In fact, with the exception of classics and sought after cars, it's hard to find any car for sale above 100,000KM - well, not ones fetching reasonable prices anyway...

A good example was my old R33 GTS. Excellent condition. 2 Owners. 90,000KM. Got a lousy 30,000 yen when I traded it in to buy an R34. (and I had to twist the dealers arm to give me that much for it!!!

BTW - I'm British and as I recall, in the UK 100,000 miles is considered "High". :P

We think the same thing in the states. I always found it amazing that the Japanese consider 100,000 KM to be high, that's only 62,000 miles! I guess there is a stigma surrounding the whole 100,000 mark.

my GTS25 has 96000 now. almost...95xxx..not sure exactly

bought at 86 in may this yr.

my daily driver albeit the occasional "whack" in the bum altho dont expect much cause its a non turbo...tho that will change in abit.

:P

going strong...had a slipping clutch...due to launches..changed it and it goes fine now. whining gearbox...god only knows why..

rusty screws here n there but totally immaculate interior...seats and pedals...only started to wear when i got the car...

;)

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
