Mine hasn't died yet, and she's approaching 310K (1993 NX2000). Even after that she'll receive a newer, perhaps enhanced heart. As old as this motor is, I can still beat on it daily and it just keeps going which I find amazing. A strong, resilient little engine. Been lovin' the SR20DE since I got my 200SX SE-R in 1999. I'll never get rid of the NX!
