IMO 95 was the best year.

the KA is an awesome motor the one i had in my 240sx i ran up to 350k miles with out even having to rebuild it and i punished that poor car........

one thing though these motors are notorious for having the weak plastic timing chain guard and tenstioner going bad.. if its high milage ask if they have been replaced and if they have not that is one of the first things you should do

Well I'll ask him tomorrow,got the HB pulled!

It sunk 7 inches last night and a ford 4x4 diesel couldn't budge it.. so we brought a john Deer tractor and it pulled it out quickly about to spray down the underside and check for damage
