Hi, I have a really newb question I would like answered so please bear with me…thanks.

I have a s13 with around 260xxx Kms on it. Will the amount of mileage affect the frame/chassis like the ridgity of it? What im saying as in the handling department.

For example my s13 has 260xxx on frame/chassis, will a s13 with less meilage on the frame/chassis have more potential to handle better because of it?

Or is it not much of a big difference and I shoudn’t worry about it?

Thanks alot!

milage is independant of chassis strength.

Shit one with 30k may have been wrapped around a pole and then fixxxed,

moreso is corrosion ie rust, is the main factor…

Thanks, so I shouldn’t worry about it? My frame is in pretty good condition.

dont worry about it only thing i suggest is to replace the bushings, after 260,000km they tend to wear out
