: 300,000 mile se-r
300se-r 10-06-2002, 01:34 AM I have a 93 sentra se-r with 322,000 miles. It has the original motor in it (still running strong). I plan on doing an engine swap pretty soon and i was wondering if i should be worried about the body of my car. There doesn't seem to be any problems. My question is should I just get a diffrent body with less miles or would my car be stable enough for say a det.
NismoSER 10-06-2002, 03:12 AM 300K? Holy ish! Post a pic of the odometer reading :D
That's freakin unreal!
Anyway, as long as the body is rust free, and the frame hasn't sustained any collision damage, it will be fine. Since you have so many miles, I'm willing to bet that its almost all highway mileage. I'm willing to bet there's not a spec of rust anywhere!
se-r sam 10-06-2002, 09:11 AM With that many miles, I'd bet that all the rubber bushings are about wore out. Replace them with ES pieces to tighten up the suspension before the swap.
cantdoadonut 10-06-2002, 09:32 AM have the shocks ever been replaced on that thing??? i bet it feels like driving a boat haha
300se-r 10-06-2002, 03:06 PM I'll post i pic sometime next week and yes the shocks have been replaced but, it still rides a little rough.
300se-r 10-06-2002, 03:07 PM There is just a little bit of rust.
se-r sam 10-06-2002, 05:54 PM What did you give for one with that many miles? Just curious.
300se-r 10-06-2002, 10:22 PM I paid about 2200 hundred. I drove the car and it ran so well that the miles didn't even matter. The paint and interior were in great shape and still are.
SuperblkStalion 10-07-2002, 08:12 PM same here, my classis is like 200 miles away from reaching 260,000 and i gladly paid 2400 for it since the engine held up so strong

300se-r 10-07-2002, 08:37 PM Superblkstalion is that your original motor.

yes it is the original motor, some say even the original oil but that remains a mystery.
akuma810 10-09-2002, 06:19 AM one word... HAHAHAHA.. sorry i couldnt help it. :p
300se-r 10-09-2002, 10:34 AM What are you laughing at my car is probably in better shape than cars with half the miles. It was in better shape than my 92 classic se-r with only 111,000 miles.
