Ok well i posted on here earlier about getting rid of my 300zx and im looking for a gsx. I had a 1G about a year ago and it was a good car but i really like the look of the 2G's and i kind of have a history with them . Anyways i know the infamous crank walk of the 2G 4g63 but i heard that it was less apparent in the 98-99 because they changed some oil lines or something.I also heard if they were going to walk it would probably be before roughly 90k.Is there any truth to this and what else should i look for? Oh and btw i found a 98 with 137k on it and it was inspected by a good mechanic and is good working order. Is this a good idea or do these 2G gsx's still conk out? thanks

 

All second generation 4G63 turbo cars get crankwalk. All depends on when. Some get it waaay early and some get it at 150k, and some have never got it. All the luck of the draw.

All things considered, go for it.

 

all 7bolt motors get crank walk not just 2nd gen it is a small fault in bearings and some of the oil journals in the stock motor.

 

Yeah i forgot about that. The tail end of the 1g's had 7 bolts too.

 

How much is he asking for the GSX?

 

he wants 7g's right now but im gonna offer 6 because with that high of mileage im probably gonna be the last owner...

 

Yeah I wouldn't pay more than 6 for it.

 

For 7 you can get one with a race motor and race tranny.

 

yea 7 is a freakin rip off... oh and you can swap a 6-bolt motor (that used in the early 1g's) and not have to worry about crankwalk

 

If its in good running order and is really clean then 6k is good. Dont get too hung up on the crankwalk thing. It does happen quite alot but just keep up on maintenance of the oil, disconnect the clutch switch as a precaution.

I had a 95 with 130k on it and it hadnt crankwalked and i beat the **** out of it. But i sold it i think just in time cuz im willing to bet it only had another year on it before it happened. That or the motor fell out cuz of the rust in the engine bay

Just make sure you take your time to look it over first.
