You won't believe this - 479k original miles and still runs perfect! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

mhubble91 · 12-16-2011, 10:24 PM

ok, so i know what you're thinkin... "Yeah Right" well... i just bought a '90 maroon hatch with 479k miles on the ORIGINAL, MATCHING NUMBERS, Motor and Trans! You're probably thinking I'm nuts, or why I'd even touch this thing...

I picked it up from a guy here in Sacramento for 1300.. He said it was bought from an old guy who was the original owner.

Now you would think this s13 would be totally messed up... But, infact, no...
sunroof works, electric windows work, original teardrop wheels, original pignose bumper AND lip! mint condition! ... and no, the lip is not for sale!

This beautiful hatch now has an organ donor and is receiving an s13 blacktop swap!

nonetheless, the original ka is still running amazingly...

gunmetalr32 · 12-16-2011, 10:27 PM

hm, well thanks for the hopeful comment

but, you would literally need to see this to believe it. this thing is nicer than most 240s with 200k... rides like a dream. no road noise, struts are good. CV boots arent ripped, shifts smooth, etc..

I'm pretty confident this is one the highest mile s chassis in CA.... lol.. seriously. If not, the HIGHEST miles s chassis...

EhrikETFG · 12-16-2011, 10:28 PM

...btw. didnt say its showroom. lol? not sure where you're under the impression that i did say that? all im sayin is that it's incredibly surprising that it's as nice as it is...

*brndck* · 12-16-2011, 10:46 PM

ummmmm thats cool and all, but you know you coulda got one with under 200k for about the same $......

lazysk8er2 · 12-16-2011, 10:46 PM

half a million miles and ur gonna ruin it with mods

S-Nation S13 · 12-16-2011, 10:49 PM

Damn..should be in a museum ..haha that's Jurassic STATUS ..

mhubble91 · 12-16-2011, 10:52 PM

why all the hate? lol? and brndck, i don't know the world you live in, but ive never seen a healthy s13 for 1300. never. not until the one i bought? and lazysk8er2... why wouldn't i want to put a built sr in it? Currently it has a single cam, bone stock. obviously i want more power, right?

At the moment i baby the hell out of her.... after all, it's been to the moon, lol...

thanks! like i said, i'm fairly confident that it's the highest mileage s13 in ca. I found a "high mileage" forum and apparently the highest anyone has seen yet was, i believe, 369k....

EhrikETFG · 12-16-2011, 10:56 PM

i got my oem 5 speed 89 coupe for 1200 with like 172k on it.. i live in pennsylvania though, so.

S-Nation S13 · 12-16-2011, 10:59 PM

Come on now people's..his car he will do as he pleases..it's nice to see a high mileage car still working..I know half of you people on here have not as much miles as he does .. And your shits probably all broken down, or parted out..

jonsparrow · 12-16-2011, 11:24 PM

NISSAN POWER!!!

very true, and thank you. thats the beauty in this really... this car is quite literally 100% complete, including the bottom of the engine's splash guard!

Not a single person on here can deny the fact that S13's are usually gutted, parted out, or missing half of their stuff. This thing doesn't even have the lazy eye mod, lol....

mhubble91 · 12-16-2011, 11:29 PM

also, i plan on calling the local nissan dealer to tell them i have a half million s13... wonder if they'll give me a commemorative key chain? lol!

*TheRealSy90* · 12-16-2011, 11:42 PM

Doubt it.

Maybe the guy did lots of burnouts.

hessianben · 12-16-2011, 11:44 PM

I'm a believer. In 2004 I sold my 92 hardbody single cammer with 367k to some gardener who still drives the thing! Replaced one turn signal switch, one clutch, 2 batteries, one alt, and one water pump.

If you don't fuck with em, they live forEVER....
....forEVEr
....forever..

thanks for the hope! and i most definitely agree with you. mods are what fuck cars up. keep it stock and anything will last forever.

like i said, i think it's incredible how well it's condition is for miles...

but i really am contacting the nissan dealer tomorrow, ill post what they say...

KiLLeR2001 · 12-17-2011, 01:14 AM

Damn I wish I could find a 240sx with 500k miles. My '90 was in same condition when I bought it but it only had 122k!!!

Now I am sad.

Fuego · 12-17-2011, 02:06 AM

Niiiice. Well atleast keep it stock until it actually crosses 500k.

mikerbike · 12-17-2011, 11:03 PM

I'm surprised that anyone can be enthused about driving a stock 240. Civics get better fuel mileage.

SLiDe_WaYz · 12-17-2011, 11:10 PM

You can't kill a KA. Seriously it would take a sugar in a gas tank to kill a stock ka. They last forever.

back then, but now a days all these people with drift tax, lowballer tax, im a dumbass trying to sell a pos for $$$$$$ tax, you know the usual fanboy pricing,almost impossible to find a s13 for under 1800 running now adays

Project S13 · 12-17-2011, 11:14 PM

That's great. You have a piece of history becouse I have never herd less seen a highly modified chassis go that many miles stock and still drivable and look as good as yours does. You should really consider passing the half a mill mark .
