    30/04/04 for me,but i know of 3 people that are 15 years plus!

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    I have often wondered if there was anyone on here had bought theirs new and still had it. Is it standard if not when did you start modding it? Whats its mileage? has it had any major repairs?

    Only other person I can think of who might beat you would be Barryjdart

    I bought mine in June 2000 and kept it until it was written off by a van driving into it in September 2008.

    My first was a G reg lime over grey (still my favourite colour scheme) bought with only 7K on the clock in mid 1990.

    Two more since and still trucking in my last.... 124K and 'mechanically perfect' according to the MOT guy*.





    * sadly he added the words 'shame about the bodywork tho...'
    No matter what, there's always some b*****d set to ruin your day innit.

    That is a mad coincindence! must be hard buying same car back with rust and years of use inbetween though

    10 years iirc! And Gerry has owned his 14a from new = 11 years

    I bought one of the first s14from a uk dealer. We ran it as a road car for 90,000 miles and decided to chop it in and were offered nothing for it, so I decided to keep it and use it as a track day/drag car what ever.
    It had a new clutch at 1100 miles under warranty, the air con always mucked about , the air bag light has always flashed (tried all the door switch things to no avail, stuck a bit of tape over it that fixed it )
    The exhaust manifold went and was replaced with a stainless one from ebay
    Its had a small welding job done underneath that’s about it.
    Apart from that its all that’s been done I have always had it serviced and used top quality synthetic oil in the engine
    The engine has never required oil between services
    I have moved the battery to the boot.
    Removed the air con

    I have had fitted
    Gen 2 shockers.
    Rear sub frame collars
    Rose jointed back suspension units
    A rear roll cage.
    Cobra seats
    Front strut brace
    Up rated clutch
    Up rated front brakes
    Modified air box and filter
    Stainless exhaust
    Quick shift.
    The suspension has been set up professionally and the car is a lowered and 18in wheels fitted. And handles like a dream.
    The engine is due for upgrading in the near future haven’t decided how far to go yet.
    a carbon bonnet is to be fitted next

    Owned mine since September 2002 so a fair time but not the longest. It still had a Nissan warranty at the time though.
