New Here... any other Altima Owners in here?
Hi,
I have been reading the forum for some time and decided to register. I recently moved back to Southern Canada from the Canadian Arctic and have purchased a 1998 Nissan Altima. As everyone here, I am doing my best to optimize my MPG. I am currently working on tuning the car up, but just had my first oil change and everything seems to working great. I am going to changing plugs and investing in a WAI and a SGII. I was wondering if any other Altima owners have any recommendations or suggestions on other gas saving ideas. Also if someone could recommend a place to get a good WAI. Thanks. Curt |
I believe we do have another altima owner on EM.
Good choice with the SGII! Welcome to the site! |
Welcome to the community!

I think Ankit is the altima owner.
Is the altima in your EM garage the same one as you just purchased? cause the one in your garage says 1989, and the one you just bought is 1998. Welcome welcome! |
Ahhhhh... 1998... typo... fingers go faster than my brain most days...
|
yea, I get that sometimes too :D
|
I'm here. :D
Doofus McFancyPants also has a 2nd gen Altima. You can probably compete with him to get better numbers than him. :thumbup: |
Arctic? Southern Canada? I'm curious, if you feel like telling a story.
Somehow I missed this thread when you posted it, so - a belated "welcome". |
Man, seems like you've been missing lots of threads lately :D

My brother owned a 98 altima 5spd. It got totaled last year. I used a for a highway trip once. I posted a thread on GS about it but here is the text.
I had to make an emergency trip to TN tuesday. My saturn needed some maintenance and the tires mounted so I borrowed my brothers altima. Specs for the car are 1998 altima GXE 145k fresh tune up including synthetic oil and ntk o2 sensors 5 speed new yokohama trz's at 46psi HAI (still being tweeked) aluminum foil on the o2 sensors cold front on the radiator scangauge 2 Best tank 653.6 miles 18.10 gallons 36.1mpg target cruise speed was 65-67mph. current tank scangauge reading is 32.3 should be within 3% using cruise control at 74mph. numbers were taken using a full top off. I mean it won't hold anymore! The listed capacity of the tank is actually 16 gallons LOL. After lots of tank to tank testing the HAI simply doesn't work in this car. After about 50 miles the ECU will adjust fuel and timing to negate any improvements. I WAI in the winter months might show some gains. Its a shame because it was a neat HAI.

Living up there was an experience to say the least, a snapshot for you guys: - Milk was $8.00 for 2L, I even saw a watermelon for $50.00. We ordered our major supplies and food every August and it came by barge. - The community was fly in only, flights were $2700/person from Ottawa to Igloolik. - In summer we had 24 hour daylight and from Nov - Feb was 24 hours of darkness, we would not even see the sun during this time.
