[dreamin240sx]

[KiLLeR2001]

I got a long way to go. Only at 162k.

[pacotaco345]

205k, second motor, second transmission...

[chris_240sx]

Around 215K on the chassis for me.

Nearly 500k? That's ridiculous.

[driftsilvias13]

480K miles?! Details please! Original Engine/Tranny (doubt it) or what?

[Silviaracer1988]

just rolled 226,xxx and going on stock sohc

[mhubble91]

480K miles?! Details please! Original Engine/Tranny (doubt it) or what?

Bone stock bro, original motor and trans, for real.

I don't drift at all, to be honest. I try really hard to never exceed 4000 RPM... it's 100% legit bone stock, except for my sticker'd up wink mirror ;P haha!

Also, recently my timing chain started to rattle. It leaks a little oil, and over-heats occasionally haha, but it's one hell of a daily driver. As a matter-of fact, I JUST removed the OEM Speakers LOL! Still have the OEM Pignose lip too, etc, etc. I am, however, missing my rear wiper!!! GAH! Those fucking thieves, haha j/k.

BUT -- Coming this summer is the big s13 Black Top SR swap! Woot! I am going to keep my dash cluster though so i can continue my trek!

Oh and just for fun, I'm just a few miles short of going to the moon and back! haha!

[bkt808]

i know someone with 300k+ on a sohc still running strong, he just bought my sohc to replace it with cause hes afraid of when it will go out lol

[homeslicej2]

My 90 hatch has 216k on the chassis. Most of the drivetrain/suspension/brake system has been replaced though.

^Use Nufinish? Car looks great. Are you going to paint the new hood and bumper cover?

[nomoremk2]

210xxx. 3rd Ka hahaha.

Damn bro... Post pics of your lambo up lol

[future]

My vert has 222k. But i just pulled the motor for a ls swap (:

[zooopreme]

I myself am heading to the 200K range (198K), my other friend is boosting a single cam @ 230K &, a another member/buddy of mine is at 320K with his stock KA. It's never seen the track but he's pushed his KA pretty hard.

Eventually I will go with an SR swap though.

[Z_Spool]

I'm at well over 300K on the chassis. 4th engine. :p

Stock KA-E died from metal shavings in the pan thanks to the timing chain guide wearing through (sounds like the OP may be getting this too, so swap out that guide out before it's too late)
Second KA-E was replaced with a DOHC 5-speed transplant from a parts car
KA-DE's head gasket popped during a late night excursion into the mountains, and has since been replaced with an SR.

The frame's straight as an arrow, no rust... Just needs new bushings/suspension and she'll drive like a brand new car.

[DenkiMan!]

i think im at 218k on my chassis, previous owner swapped in a low mileage ka but when i got it, the body was still absolutely perfect. op how long have you had the car!?!!?

[mhubble91]

I dont have any pics of the car right now, but it's in 8/10 condition all the way through. NO zip ties, no crashes no smashes, no ... anyhting, lol. STILL on OEM Teardrops!! haha... Maroon, Pignose hatch - 5spd. Honestly, ive only had it for about 6 months. I bought it from this guy's little shop for 1300. He, apparently, bought it from the original owner down in vacaville CA and did a head gasket job. Since I've bought it, it's needed and alternator, a new battery, a thermostat, a timing chain, a radiator, and ... gas. lol

[shiftdrift]

97 s14, 207k. running good!

[badbob2121]

225,XXX on my chassis. Ive replaced just about every single bushing now and it feels great

[Purestock240]

I had an auto twin cam, bone stock with 460,000 KM on it

[7jpat]

ill get back to u in 5 or 6 years only at 100k

[OBEEWON]

Props to all of you!

My second to last S14 was 210. My New SC400 has 325k or something like that.

[891via]

just hit 230k on my 97 kouki

[slydin240sx]

I'm at 204,000 on my s14's chassis. Not sure on motor mileage as it's been rebuilt by a previous owner.

[Frank_Jaeger]

Odometer stopped updating 10,000+ miles ago. Stuck at 207,000.

[Pandadub92]

260k Stock SOHC runs fine no problems :D

[LockOn!]

258k dual cam coupe. Original motor, transmission was converted from auto to manual at about the 220k mark.

It sounds like it could 'splode at any second but I drive the piss out of it anyway lol.

[slow_sr20]

95 s14 KA odo reads 26X,XXX. Put over 40,000 miles on it last year. Going to swap in a fresher KA in a month or two. The amount of blue smoke coming from my exhuast depresses me:naw:

[Bert.S13]

first post. 236,xxx going strong on everything stock except for a few minor adjustments...only problem i have is running rich and that damn timing

[ka24debt]

this was my daily for 2 years. had 227k on it, i had a rebuilt ka that had only 10k miles on it before i swapped it into my current chassis. this thing was so rusty there was more then 1 occasion a jackstand went through the car or the interior carpet would get soaked from all the holes. http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m530/ka24debt/zilvia3.jpg

[fliprayzin240sx]

I'm at 196k on a 95 S14. Engine's on its dying breath. HG is leaking causing the car to suddenly overheat ever so often, its burning oil and coolant, and compression is shit at 140 across the board. Previous owner decided to run the car with no fucking thermostat so the engine never got up to temp...would probably explain the shitty compression.

[1gr8bar10der]

'93 with 270K. Was running strong and the trans shifted fine. Now I'm doing an SR swap and put the engine/trans on another shell. Sweet!

[xX240-SXx]

I'm at 220 xxx miles but the ka just gave up a few weeks back now she is going through surgery: sr, silvia front end , etc etc

[FRpilot]

i'm on an auto KA that I converted to manual at 146k. it's now at 223k and i'm sure it will last a while longer, but it's not getting the best gas mileage and i already have a daily driver waiting on the side. I'm not sure I can beat the OP, but nearly 500K on original engine. i think that is unheard of.

[chiboy002]

24xxxx on stock engine, original
same with trans

i do not have plans on replacing it until it gives out, however it does run well
just did a headgasket though

[ManoNegra]

~220k, original KA, 5 speed converted.
Everything works well.

[DennisC]

95 KA with 238k still running strong.

[s1392]

92 kade stock with 216k was running good until it threw a rod. what should i go for next? sr, ka-t, or 302??! help me choose!

[HellaFlushSRs13]

My current s13 has 283,xxx and I got it a few months back, Its on it's second motor by choice haha

My Ls400 that I had before had 235,xxx and had one previous owner (bought it from my mom lol) but it was in perfect condition and ran really strong till my roommate backed into it all high one day in his Durango and totaled it :(

My first s13 had a problematic OD that only worked like 1/4 of the time and it had 218,xxx so you know that the mileage had to be higher ;) it was on its second engine cus I popped the KA and went Sr

[usdm180sx]

My 92 hatch has around 229,xxx on it, but it's got a blacktop SR in it with around 2,300 on it now. Still going strong, but looks kinda like a turd.
My 89 coupe has 110,xxx on it. When I bought it about five years ago it only had 95,xxx.

[h2v7]

over 300,000 on my last 89 hatchback ka24e

[tapdeznutz]

280k on the clock before i realized the odometer stopped working, 1990 ka24E white hatch. May be over 300k now.

[drscooper]

i should get to 250k by the time the 1j is ready

I've got just over 216k on my 97. Leaking oil and ps fluid but still running strong.

[DreamN]

216,XXX on the vert. KA's been rebuilt apparently at one point. Car drives perfect.

[cnazzaro240]

idk how all you guys with original motors lasted so long, i just got my car from an original owner with 77k on it and 1k later the single cam blew lol luckily I have an sr waiting to go in

[itsjustdaphne]

As of today,
http://i39.tinypic.com/30lkkdt.jpg
My KA runs like a champ. Needs an oil pan gasket as it leaks a little bit of oil but I've never had any problems other than the ignition switch every once in a while.
I'm the third owner, all FL. Bought it earlier this year at around 205. 5-speed and my daily!
http://i44.tinypic.com/2m9rbn.jpg
She used to look a lot better as she was on 16 inch Squares :-/

[racepar1]

259,123mi and counting! Original SOHC, original trans (to the best of my knowledge). Only major thing that I can see has been done is the timing chain!

As for "How do you guys get the engines to last so long?", it's simple. These engines will last as long as you take care of them. KA's are some of the toughest and most reliable engines I have ever seen or heard about. Most 240 owners simply don't take care of the cars. Fix oil leaks, maintain the cooling system, belts/hoses, etc... 9 times out of 10 when a KA blows its' because it ran out of some sort of essential fluid because the owner was a jackass...

[Young Sileighty Kev]

As you can see its turned on, no CEL, its sohc, and daily driven.

[Akito86]

265k my 91 engine went to rest but my chassis it's over 350k for sure I'm on my 2nd cluster

[Tank_4g63]

234k on the clock of my car when i got it. Needed a full engine rebuild.

[240boi115]

my last hatch had around 260,xxx on her and ran strong with no problems and it was auto. did oil changes on her every 3k. :D

[onehundredoctane]

200+ miles, previous owner didn't take car of this car for shit, had a ton of sludge in the head when I got it. Ended up developing rod knock 3-4 years after I got it, ended up having to rebuild the engine, now she's back!

Bone stock bro, original motor and trans, for real.

Also, recently my timing chain started to rattle. It leaks a little oil, and over-heats occasionally haha, but it's one hell of a daily driver.

[unnaturalsniper]

I have a '90 hatch, 5spd, with 246k miles.. I just bought the car in feb.. I know that its not correct because the speedo stops randomly.. so who knows how many miles are really on it.. and whether its the original motor and tranny or not, your guess is as good as mine.. speaking of which, does anybody know what could cause this speedo problem?

i had the same issue with my odometer, i believe that is what you are referring too. i just replaced with another gauge cluster assembly.

[Bumpkin203]

My 91 got stuck at 267k with original engine. Guessing I put another 20k on it and pulled to do sr swap.

[xHeavySS]

my 95 zenki is at 210 and a half right now

[Almosttt]

A High Mileage contest is like an ugly person contest... no real winner but you just have to respect them for the fact they haven't killed themselves yet.

Anyways, my first car was an 87' Celica, had 244k miles on it when I sold it.

Was browsing through my old pictures and stumbled on this one from when my old s14 hit 200k. http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s532/jfox31/IMG_0012_zps0025da13.jpg (http://s1304.photobucket.com/user/jfox31/media/IMG_0012_zps0025da13.jpg.html)

Went about another 8k miles before some idiot rear ended me and totaled the car.

Motor is still alive in my friends hatch though. He's probably put another 20k on it and it still runs flawlessly. We compression tested it last moth and iirc the numbers where near perfect. Ka's are pretty much indestructible if you keep up with basic maintenance lol.

[XxMetra_MassacrexX]

Got about 220,XXX racked on my '93 S13, Auto with stock KA24DE. First car/240 and Daily Driver (bought after grad in 2011.) Been having issues with this thing since day one. This year replaced 02 senor, all four injectors, (just did the last two last night with my older brother,) coolant temp sensor, tie rods and rack & pinion to my from right side. tons more shit in the first year. Progress is slow to keep my baby running and not shit itself. Still running rich after new injectors and the almighty rough idling. Checking in for a tune-up and all the wonderful underlying causes later.

I feel like this belongs here. I put on a few miles since then though -

[sleepyS14se]

259k on my 95 zenki (auto to 5spd swapped)(bought it with a blown up ka24de that went 257k) car now has a ka24de from a 98 with 117k~

seems as if the automatic 240s with high miles are ok to have being they weren't beaten down for 15+ years.

so for my s14 with 259k, It has no broken parts/pieces interior wise and the exterior is good too. This is my 1st s14 and from what i see these cars are built tough from nissan. very solid little car.

[XxNickxX]

Thought my Ka would dying soon but all you 300,xxx plus guys have given me new hope!! Ha, my coupe is at 185,xxx everything works and it's my daily :)

[h2v7]

a short but sad story, sorry to hear about the bad ending of the cr.. you still have it?

no believe it or not insurance gave me like $2600 for it!

i totaled another s13 sohc coupe this time and insurance gave me only $1300

[Kanto]

Hit 200k last week. 95 Zenki!
