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...

;)

    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?
