New guy in Socal
Hello!
I live in Los Angeles, and have 2 Nissan 240sx's. One is a 1995 (s14) which is built for power/fun, and the other is a 1993 hatch (s13) which is (supposed to be) my efficiency/hypermiler. Ironically, the s14 (fully built, overbored, turbocharged) is getting similar or better mileage than the s13 due to a random electrical gremlin, but I'm going to squash said gremlin....once I find him.
My goal for this car, at least initially, is 40mpg. From there, the sky's the limit.
Both are currently getting around 22-24 mixed, and half of that is in the dreaded Los Angeles traffic commute. I drive about 50 miles 3 days a week, and about 10-15 miles the other 3 days (sunday is a day of recovery). The s13 (when it was running right) has gotten as high as 26 mixed, 34 all freeway, and the s14 usually hovers around 23.5-25 mixed and 32-34 freeway.
I've been lurking awhile, and seeing some incredible builds and results here, so I thought I'd join up, make some noise, and try to get in on the efficiency party!
I'll open a new thread for them once I setup my garage.
