km's, how many?

[jvs007]

got 130k on the clock

interesting question : have seen many cars with clocks wound back, anyone here suspicious on their clock readings?

[choochoobaa]

got it on 86k in january, its now on 95k and will stay there till i get my licence back in december. the clock has obviously been wound back but no major probs so far

[Lozza150]

150,000 exhaust manifold leaking..... other than that.....nothin!!!

[Hiroshima Screamer]

belive it or not , 50 on the clock when i bought it and 72 now

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

[cyrius]

318,000 and still going strong..

The good ol' L24 is bullet proof...

[R33man]

95 R33 with 75,000k's Only had it 6 weeks but totally love it.

[silverskyline]

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...

102500 on mine now, bought with 84000 on it. Only real problems are the slightly crunchy gearbox, plus some surface rust around the bolts in the engine bay.

[pushead]

Brought mine 9 months ago. had 72,000kms now 84,000kms. No problems whatsoever..

I beleive most of our odometer readings is quite accurate. I doubt mine was wind back. jap average km's per year = 10,000 only while here is around 30,000? correct me if im wrong

[Amaru]

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

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

[Nexus_SiX]

Just cracked 120,000

bought at 76,000

sweet as pie..

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

[MM2death]

Bought my line in Jan this year with 72000km's. I now have 78000km's and no real dramas yet.

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".

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.

Today my skyline clocked over 186,000 KM!!! the other day I had it dynoed at 285RWHP

But today it started to run on 5 cyl.. i think one of the plugs are folwed from a bad tune.

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.

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...

gee...
