Agreed basic reliability should be no worse than any other factory turbo motor (which depends HEAVILY on your treatment of it). It is a fact of life that turbo cars are more expensive to maintain than N/A cars (which is why they sell so poorly here, since manu's can make up for boost w/ displacement). There is nothing inherently suspect about the SR and Nissan has a rep for building bullet proof motors.
As for emissions, the SR is not legal to run on any public road in the US. It lacks certain mandated emissions controls and it spews out slightly more noxious gasses than is allowable. It can pass a sniffer w/ timing adjustments and a good cat. It will not pass visual w/o $ on the side.
