I have 18?,??? miles on my car and it is currently dead. Awaiting ressurection via SR20DET. I don't have a lot of faith in high mile ka24e engines. I know three other owners that are struggling with theirs and considering their options. It is entirely possible that all the 240s around my neck of the woods have been beat up though.

I have about 210,000+ miles on my KA and it's still running. I bought the car with about 209k, but the engine is getting replaced so it wasn't really a concern. The car runs surprisingly well, it even runs better than my family's 91 Pontiac Sunbird that has 88k miles. When I brought my car to my friend's Nissan dealership (he's a mechanic), all the other mechanics gathered around my car in amazement when they heard how many miles it had on it.

wow, this is good news. I'm looking at a 93 that has 180,000 on it or so... I was planning on switching in a lower mileage 92 engine (88k miles on that one) as a backup plan anyways, but nice to know that the engine in there will get me around well enough in the meantime

sounds exactly like my story. I got mine about 170, 000 miles on in then some old lady in a Hyundai backed into my passenger side fender while i was at work, and she had the nerve to drive off like nothing happened. Luckily somebody gave me her plate number and i got my deposit for a SR. I can live with a dent.
