Hi folks, I'm Pete and come from the Blue Mountains, just outside Sydney, Australia.
My daily driver is a 1988 Mitsubishi Cordia auto and my big boy's toy is a 1981 Datsun 280zx, also auto. I realise neither car is a practical basis for fuel economy mods, but that's what makes it fun!
I've used many of the Hypermiling techniques listed here for years, but am still working to improve my mental discipline, I'm a ratbag driver by nature.
I've got most of the bits for gearbox conversions for both cars but finding time to do it is the really hard part. I have a few mild engine mods already, but am keen on pushing fuel economy as far as practical.
Anyhow, as most of my driving is at highway speeds, I'll be pouring over the engine mods and aerodynamics threads for a while. If there are any drivers of older Japanese cars, I'd love to chat.
Pete.
