Today my 1999 S2 Stagea (RS4S) hit 100,000 kms, and it was kind of upsetting. It made me feel like the car had graduated to the next age of car life.

But then I realised, this is a ~15 year old car, it must be going pretty well to only be hitting 100,000 now. Right?

Just get speedo wound back as per most jap cars....

78,000km ('04 PNM35), and from the condition I'd say they're genuine. Still had some factory plastic protective film in places when I got it, I don't think anyone ever sat in the back.

96 model, 130k kms. Can't be sure if it's genuine. Some doubts for me are that Ive replaced the turbo. It wasn't blown but had too much shaft play. Front shocks were totally worn by 100k kms on the odo, which Im not sure if its normal since it's a heavy car with sporty shocks. Maybe too much wear on the drivers seat too. No point dwelling on it. Its running well and is in good condition now.

Just over 300,000.Killeran, I'd suggest getting Japanese History Check to prove your KLM, I think its very unlikely a car has done under 7,000klm per year every year of it's life...

I think many of the answers here would be ???,???kms.

It's been endemic in the industry for a long time.

98 rs4, bit over 228000kms, pretty good condition, it's had a turbo at some point before I bought it, only engine repairs I've done are timing belt and all front seals and water pump. Heaps of stone chips and some rust under the mirrors.

    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • 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
