If you look after it, there is no reason it cant do many 100's of 1000's in my eyes.

If you don't chase power, they should be very very reliable.

The only issue's long term i know about are electrics with Nissans... things like coils, looms, Crank Angle Sensor, AFM's and so on... all things like that tend to fail.

If you replace them with a 2nd hand item, then expect it to happen again, and again :P

An engine is an engine, regardless what it is.

Build quality, lubrication used, how the engine is driven, what power it is pushing out, how often it is serviced, climate, etc. You get my point.

A car can last 1,000,000km if it is treated correctly. However certain things might fail and need replacing. Most parts will have to be replaced during the life of the car, so what particular part are we talking about.

There really is no answer to this thread and therefore is entirely pointless.

Kind of like asking what age shall i live to.

i agree to this 100%.

remember its the parts that fail not the car.. maybe you should think about how long certain parts will last? if you have an engine change every 100,000 ks your car will last forever.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.

      You need to buy a Saab Matt, ours had a button that turned all the dash lights off. Any decent aftermarket dash has sufficient brightness control and a headlight input for day/night settings. None of which probably helps OP

      Yeah thanks...i thought it would be alot more i dont know 😄 I saw some videos on converting push/pull and it seems you need to "drill" the hole for slave(master) cylinder and buy some converter kit. On that front yoke clip i did not even know that is a thing and i need to source that(custom shops do not do that?) But anyway thank you for the info

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not the headlight. It's the DRL that serves double duty as white and amber. Would be the easiest way to make it happen, if fitting a BCM was in any way an easy thing. Otherwise you'd do it with some relay logic and/or maybe some diodes.

      Would require a very smart body control module which these cars are about 20 years to old to have
