How Come R32's Get Rebuilt At Around 68,000 Km's?

[Mustillo]

Hi guy’s,

So a year to go until I travel to Japan and export a R32 to Sydney! But my research starts now.

After I watched some videos and browsed Carsales I realised that most people decide to rebuild their GTR’s engines at about 68,000 KM’s, not that this is any concern, my Civic is running perfectly fine on 200,000+ KM’s but I am sure a GTR differs.

My main question is there any reason as why people rebuild their RB26DETT at around 70,000 KMS? And would you guys recommend an engine rebuild at this amount of KMS?

Thanks,

Josh

Because they most likely all have 270,000ks

hahahahhahahahahaa

funny because it's true.

Nice R32, how much HP are you putting out?

[Anfanee]

At the moment none because the engine is in pieces.

expect around 340-350 killawasps

Was the 68000km figure derived from an advanced mathematical equation? That's a very specific number to choose!

I call bullshit if there are more than 20 32 GT-R's in Australia with a legitimate "68000kms" on them.

At a guess I would say most rebuilds occur due to shattered oil pumps so maybe they've got around a 70k life span on a standard pump. Or if it's an N1 pump about 5000kms!

My car's on 160,000 'import' km so far and doing fine .

Reason being, as stated previously, actual mileage of engine is probably far more combined with cramming loads more air (than standard) @ high rpms.

"most people"? How many in your sample? Just askin'...

25-year old ceramic turbos and excessive boost, not necessarily the k's travelled. (or wound back)

Through application of a rigorously defined mathematical equation centred around the inversely proportional relationship between distance traveled by a vehicle (D) and the time since its manufacture (T), a singularity is reached at the 68,000km mark, signifying the nadir of reliability. It's kind of like the equation that shows torque and power possess the same value at 5,252rpm, only more recently made up.

HTH.

TL;DR: Somewhat unbelievably, about 97% of imports arrive in the country with approximately 60,000km on the clock, no matter how old the car is.

RB stands for "runs bearings at 68,000km's".

AKA - car has alot more KM's on it.

Is there still a law in Japan , the car must be sold off or destroyed at 60k , is that why some cars might be turned back ?

68k is the magic wind back number .

I think that is singapore isnt it?
