My R33 GTS-t landed with 57,000km in 2001 it now has 214,000km running 220rwkw for most of its life, now with 280rwkw (12mths) still runs fine, compression is fine it feels like it will do another 100,000km with no worries assuming no catastrophic failures of ancillary parts like fuel pump etc.

Mine has 94,000 almost, imported it with 84k 2.5 years ago, it's seen 6 months of roadwork and a fair whack of time being off road (Most recent 14 months, got it back last Thurs). Purring like a kitten after kidafa helped out with a service on the weekend :thumbsup:

My 99 RS4-S just rolled over to 200,000 last week. bought the car with 130,xxx on the clock a year ago. 95% highway driving, serviced every 10,000k's (oil / oil filter / k&n air filter clean & re-oil).

I use motul 8100 xcess 5w-40. engine is so sweet, no top end noise or bottom end noise. turbo is still smooth, and have been running 14psi using jaycar ebc for the last 30,000k's.

Going to do the timing belt and all driveline fluids next.

This car is my first experience with an RB motor and I love it.

Hey Jeremy, that is the best so far. I think a well maintained 25T can go 300.

I'm not too far behind that, 197xxxkms on my series 1. Still going strong. Just some rattles inside the car but thats probably got a lot to do with the suspension :( But driveline is great. Original turbo too. Runs 11psi. Will be stripping interior and doing a full dynamat through the whole car which should make interior noise a lot better.

Not a stag but my 93 r33 just clicked over 255000 still goes like a rocket,high boost and all the other go fast bits as well. :cheers:

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
