I have a 1990 300zx Non-turbo 2+2 5Spd ( and it's white, it's visually "light)
125K miles, about 75K on the engine. mechanically sound

existing mods: air intake & magnaflow exhaust.

it's a heavy car, but is pretty aero as a benefit, good highway driving.

I have blocked off the upper grill area with tape for the last 2 weeks, and mounted the license plate flush to the bumper ( without the plate bracket)
no overheating issues, temp gauge hasn't budged, even in 100+ weather

ideas I'm considering:
removing rear wiper
lightweight battery
low profile front wipers
300zxtt rear end for lower RPM

$$$ ideas (not worth it, but would be sleek)
low profile aero side mirrors
moon pie wheels

anyway, hello all.
