LS1 V8 280z

Well took her for her first big trip, went to nelson on friday night and just got back into chch today. One of the best drives ive had the car was nearly flawless. the front airdam almost fell off overtaking a bit too fast and the exhaust scrapes going through big dips so a few things to sort oh and a strange electrical gremlins in it somewhere. But the best part is i averaged 10.2L per 100kms on the trip!!! I also cant wait to get aircon hooked up.

Awesome dude! That fuel economy is pretty good too! My 1.8 turbo seems to guzzle gas a fair bit..

Well done Stuart. Just deserves. Great economy. When the 240Z came out it was respected for it economy.about 25-28 mpg. So probably not as good as your's. Awesome job.

Well it only averaged 24mpg but ill be honest i was sure hoofing it, got up there in 4.5hours but it does smell of fuel so may head back to harmans and check something hasnt gone wrong, i should be seeing 30mpg

They are LED's by the way. oh and i fitted a big earth strap from my engine to the firewall as i think that is why im having electrical issues so ill test it tomorrow.

Great work!
Must be time for a stationary cooling system test now?

Thanks but nope, time to pull it all apart. Needs a new clutch, modify the sump, repair the gearbox and a new exhaust oh and now when i turn my indicators on the interior light flashes, stupid wiring
