ok, my engines has around 233xxx miles, runs like a champ and has only had electrical problems so far,
everything blcok related is beautiful and I get no problems whatsoever, coolling system is pristine, engine mngmt has no problems and fuel system its all good, do you guys think i could take it to track and abuse it like i want to or should I refrain and chill?
or what could happen to the engine if I decide to go through with this?

Should be fine. So long as you have had a history of keeping good and fresh oil in.

compression is pretty good, no leaks no nothing, bone stock...
oil has been changed 1030 mobil synth every 3-4k but I drive it pretty gently

god damn, if you run syntec oil and the engine doesn't leak oil, your engine is in good shape for sure...

At least the KA in my Altima doesn't leak anything while running on syntec oil.

The 240SX KA is another story...

KA's are cheap and are only becoming more abundant due to sr swaps. I say beat the living crap out of it. Take it too the track..
