KA24DE 130K rebuild or swap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My car has a 125K on it and its running fine. Just keep up on regular maintenance stuff and your motor should be fine. However, if you think something major is going to happen with the current motor, a rebuilt, lower mileage ka might be the way to go. Why do you think you're going to have problems with your current motor?

No need to fix something that isn't broke man. I have seen WAY to many Ka's last to 175,000 miles and beyond to even begin to think of a rebuild at a mere 130k. Hell....mine has close to 140k....perfect compression (as of 4,000 miles ago), burns no oil, gets 25 miles to the gallon, and I beat the living shit out of it almost every chance I get.....but...you can rebuild if ya want...if throwing cash away is your thing
