My 95 se will probably roll over to 89K miles today, not a bit of oil consumption(knock on wood). And much like you 89sxRCR, my struts suck. PLEASE KYB, RELEASE THE AGX'S FOR THE S14!!!!!!!!!!!

89 fb, about 142000 miles

Couple minor problems (alternator, starter) here and there, but the car is 13 years old and takes a lot of abuse (pizza delivery, autocrosses). Aside from that, everything`s still perfect! Somehow the struts are still good.. maybe the previous owner replaced them. The car has lost a lot of power over the years (110 rwhp with exhaust, K&N filter), but I still managed to win my class a couple times at the autocross.

Looking for a nice S14 K`s now.. hopefully the SR is as indestructible as the KA!

170,982miles and running better than ever. BUT it was rebuilt after it spun a bering on #1 piston. Struts are stock and could use replacing. But after hitting 2 deer and 1 Blazer it still runs good and looks rough.

188K miles, stock bottom and mostly stock top end (replaced my rocker arms with the Nismo cam in January). Aside from the rougher idle (due to the cam), the engine is awesome. Im debating on trying to pull the head myself and take it to get ported and polished.

I have a '91 fastback with around 150K miles, and it is great! I got it with about 85K miles. As far as struts go, i replaced them, and i have eibach springs with a 2" drop. And a K&N filtercharger, sweet exhaust system, sweet rims and Yokohama tires that shine! It runs very well, and i must say i do try to baby it because i want it to last a very long time. I have had to fix minor oil leaks, and new clutch (thanks to the previous owner who ragged the hell out of it!). I am now going to have the timing chain worked on to prevent something horrible from happening. :pface

96, just rolled over to 102k this morning. I deliver pizzas too pong. Engine runs fine with no problems what so ever. What would your guy's guesses be on replacing the alternator, starter, cause on my sentra they went at like 120k...

Nissan makes a great engine, they last forever, take a beating and just keep on driving.

172k miles here. Replaced rear tires and a tie rod on purchase. Needs new oil pan gasket; but, eh, I'm getting a new engine soon, why bother? ^ ^ Consistently leaks about a quart and a half of oil every thousand miles, though.

well i know i started this topic, but after just hitting 169,000 miles, my KA24E bit the dust, i haven't had it looked at yet, but it's either the water pump went out or even worse a blown head gasket.
