nuf' said

Garrick

But seriously, do you have a pic because I can say my fourth gen has 400000 miles too. That's why I asked, plus I would like to show my friend that Nissans do last longer than his s***ty Mercedes does/ did.

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

don't bother.
they both last long, the real question is maintenance.

SurraTT

iTrader: (59)

im happily at 120,000 miles


not high, but not low


better than some cars that are 5+ years old

wrkllc

OK, I will post a picture with it running. So you nonbelievers can see for yourself.

VEvolution

It's okay, you dont have to.. It really isn't that uncommon around here for a VG.

Greeny

iTrader: (43)

I want pics..

DA-MAX

iTrader: (10)

nice ...if I hadn't crashed my 90 GXE(@210-220k miles), I'd probably still have it and be in the 300ks or at least high 200ks!

jaguax

We already had a pic of an original VG at 400k+ and it was still running but the car was wrecked shortly thereafter.

The real question is the tranny. Did this guys tranny really last him 379k until a rebuild? That I find hard to believe, especially if it was an automatic, because the auto trannies in these cars are built by Tyco R/C company.

JimPark

Wow, congrats! I have a '93 SE that just passed 202K and I thought that was something. I prefer manual transmissions and although I've had the master & slave hydraulics/cylinders replaced a couple times, the original clutch lasted until 185K miles so I'm hoping she'll last a few more years.

Jeff583

I just passed 265k, my original clutch lasted until 216k~crazy~ still runs great, and is still fast. I just do regular maintenance + change oil EVERY 3000 miles, ive replaced the drain plug 6 times just from normal wear and tear

jaguax

iTrader: (1)

Is the drain plug something that is supposed to be replaced every so often? Because I think my car is slowly leaking oil around that area.

By the way, MyGreenMax94, is that pic from your SE or GXE?... I'm guessing SE from the white gauges, but a lot of people swap out the GXE gauges for white ones as well.

Greeny

iTrader: (43)

The green se has 300k..My wifeys gxe has about 106,000 on it...

wrkllc

OK, I will try to post my picture here of the 400000 miles

Yes! The Transmisson lasted until 379k I had driven to the local Harley Dealership when I heard a clunk sound, I was going about 60mph, I didn't think anything as I hear it from time to time when you hit a rock or something in the road, Got to the dealership, did my shopping then came out to leave the car would not go in reverse. forward yes, well after trying serveral times I was up against the curb and could not move the car, had it towed home, pulled the transmission, and found out why, the output shaft had welded to the planet gears inside allowing only forward movement with no shift. Smoked!! Off to the junk yard.

wrkllc

Thanks I will give it a try,

wrkllc

Ok lets try this again

VEvolution

Nice wrkllc... Where did you get that cluster from? I don't think I've seen that one yet

wrkllc

here it goes,




I guess no movies allowed.

wrkllc

It came with the car when I purchased it back in 1991 paid 16,500 the car had 3 miles on it when we picked it up.

wrkllc

Heres a picture I took right after the 400000 change over going east towards Melbourne Beach Fl, its hard to see the dash becuase of the glare form the sun. anyway thanks to all.
