Today I attempted to swap my mechanical fan out for the electric radiator fans from a 94-97 Nissan Altima. Both the 240sx and the Altima use the KA24DE engine but the being that the Altima is a front wheel drive car the engine is mounted transversely and it uses dual electrical fans. It would seem only logical then to swap them into the rear wheel drive 240sx for electric fans with an OEM look. Continue reading ‘Trial & error’

My 13 year old car gets better gas milage now than in 1993. Originally rated at 21-22 city mpg 26-28 highway mpg, 15 7/8 gal tank.
After my recent tune up at just over 133,000mi I’ve gone through the first tank (gas light came on during the way home from work) giving an estimated 24-25 city mpg on 87 octane.
In comparison, a week ago, just before the tune up I was getting between 17-19 city mpg also on 87 octane.
Now if only gas would cost what it did back in 1993 (~$1.30/gal which was still considered high) I’d be set!
