No rep for that at all....on the other hand, there is only one guy I know of past 60k.


I don't think Nissan would put out a motor that would be popping at 80k, but it probably depends how you treat it. You can't change the laws of physics, and the noise alone let's you know what is going on at high rpms. When you realize that is in spite of a boat anchor of a flywheel....I'd just sell it as the warranty runs up.
