that's a lot of driving mate!

That still works out at about 10,000 km/s a year (97 model).

I reckon the myth that Japs don't drive their cars is crap, seriously doubt that a lot of the k's showing on ppls clocks are genuine!

yeah i agree, i often see a couple of 94's95's for less than 50,000km, i would seriously doubt they are all geniune, my 97 GPX just clicked over 90,000km last weekend, still running incredibly smooth,

Perks of the job, driving to a lot of building sites and meetings in busier times. Was nice when you get the equivalent of $2 a km for it!

95 GPX.
67,000km when I bought it 6 years ago.
157,000km now, still going strong

So around 15,000km to 20,000km a year

I've been to Japan and I will honestly believe that they don't drive their cars much. When I was there I barely saw ANY sports car at all.

The reason for them not driving too much would be the out of this world transport system. Their subway is amazing, anywhere in the city you want to get to, there's a Subway entrance every 2 minutes, it will take you anywhere you want at a very reasonable price. Very well set up.

95 & done 172k

'95 with almost 140

95 GR shell has done ~88k, engine sitting at around 35k

mine hit 67000km before it went to the mechanic. Bought it at 49000km. 97 model.

When I get it back it will be 157000km LOL!

Mines a 99 model and im sitting on 82K

95 model on 126

1998 92k, It really doesn't get driven as much as I would like

95 model, just ticked over 104 000 k's

i said basically the same thing on the previous page

Currently 48,000
Had 40,000 when I bought it (straight from Japan) and suspect it to be genuine (car still only had a tape player and the interior is VERY tidy).

Yeah you both make a good point, and I'm not saying ALL cars aren't genuine. I just remain a little sceptical, that's all.

Yeah, I used to know a bloke called "Achmed".... and we used to give him all manner of speedo clutsers. When they came back, they all had lost certain amounts of kms. We paid him in cash

sh*t, I am over 120k's ...

Question on speedo winding ... On the GSR, I have had to buy a new speedo ... I want the K's to match, as the donor speedo has double the K's .. Who can wind it back ...
