Modern engines and high quality synthetic oils are responsible for the long life we enjoy out of our motors .
I sold my 3000gt last year with 385,000klm on it . The 6G72 engine was original that i had removed and rebuilt at about 370,000klm. When the pistons were removed , the staff at the machine shop told me I could have re-used them as they didn't have more than about 10,000 klm wear on them and everything was within tolerance.
The nissan engines are the same , amazingly engineered and incredibly durable as long as you keep it maintained . I'd expect at least 300,000klm out of a properly cared for car.
Ignore the odometer , if it drives well and is reliable keep enjoying it.

Nice! And good compression as well. Like everyone's been saying - good maintenance and scheduled oil changes are key.. Another thing is to keep heat down! High quality oil, oil cooler, good clean coolant system or uprated - that RB should see many many more good drivesCheck out the GTST Projects page and keep up to date with my build!

I'm sitting at 82,xxx km with the Toyota, I bought it a little over 2 years ago with 60,xxxkm on the clock, driven year round, and it's my only car. I take the pedal bike to work unless it's raining and I used to drive 35mins to school and back twice a week, but now I'm done college so I don't have to do those km any more. Unless I move out farther away from work it's going to be very long before I hit that high mileage.
