I know exactly what you mean. My old car overheated all the time for a whole year (i know i should have fixed it sooner <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> ) Well I finally replaced the radiator a month before i went to basic training, and it was like a new car. Well when I went through basic training and tech school (about 5 monthes) got home and my dad fixed the air conditioning, wow a new car all over again!!! Well I was home a whole 3 weeks to enjoy it...... now it's sold and I'll probably never see it again..... I'll track down my first car some day, I'm gonna cry now <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

change your O2 sensor... spark plugs, wires, change your oil, try higher octane, and replace fuel filter....
i got like 17-19 on my 90 before and now i get like 22-25 mpg

#### 17-19mpg only?  That sucks.  I have a 95 240sx se, and I get like 23-30 depending on how hard I drive.  Getting all the breather mods helped a lot.  Having manual also helps.  Try all the basic tune ups.

Wow. I get like 19 if I drive real nice... I also live in Chicago. Stop-and-go sucks ass.

Happy for you, Nismo!!!

P.S. Was this on your aftermarket or stock exhaust?
