My '97 has 223,421 on it. I had a used tranny (5 spd) put in it at 195K, plus the typical wear and tear things. Has a slight hesitation, but other than that, it's probably the best Nissan I've owned, except for the '86 720 which had 228K on it when I sold it, or maybe the 86.5 HB that had 254K on it when I "let it go" for $2500. Oops, can't forget the '95 s/c HB that I sold last year with 225K miles which I still see on the road from time to time.
94 Se 5speed
Brought it at 189k
Change all the seals on the engine since it was leaking a lot of oil
Change the clutch since it starting to slip and the starter since they broke it while taking it out
Tune up
201k
Change Clutch slave cylinder since pedal goes to the floor
207k
Change Fuel Pump
210k
Change Alternator
214k still running strong until who knows when
Think it still has original engine and tranny since it was leaking all that oil from the seal which is why the owner sold it.
- replaced tie rods twice (once, and now they need it again)
- sway bar stuff needs to be replaced
- drive axle is leaking grease
- fan only works on #4
- service engine light is always on
- driver side window requires a lot of effort to roll up; you have to pull really hard on the button
im hoping i can get some more mileage of this car. ive really enjoyed it thus far and do NOT want to have to go through the hassle of buying a new car again.
I just hit 85,500k... Purchased in 2006 with 66k...
No major problems yet.......
Changed in the past 2 years:
radiator, belts, axles,o2 sensor, vc gasket, gas tank/ fuel float, struts/ drive side mounts, motor mounts (4).
Getting a clunk sound when i turn to the right once in a while....

2 alternators (4 12's will do it)

Over 250k running stong. I did complete tune-up, replaced radiator, waterpump, thermostat, hoses, belts & alternator earlier this year. Now it just started stalling. Sometimes it crank back & sometimes it wont.

Would love to do water pump for preventive maint. Other than that, runs like a swiss clock. (Worked as mechanic for a year - experience, priceless).
