gas mileage and other quick Q's

hi guys,

looking at a 92 SE 5spd. with 201,000 kilometers (canada) but a 3 year parts and labour warranty. black on black leather etc. $4500 (canadian)

i am curious as to what kind of gas mileage you guys get on your max's i drive quite a bit.

also my buddy has 3 Z31 turbo's, anything compatible???

brief intro - have 90 240sx coupe - AGX, tokico, Apex N1 dual, etc etc... want to stay nissan or go BMW

considered a max in the past, thinking of it again.

i used search for a bunch of other questions i had answered, i never knew you could bolt on E36 headlights *thats nuts*

That's about 125K miles..not bad at all. Check all the typical VE engine issues. Otherwise, sounds like a decent deal. I have a VG 5-spd with a bad fuel injector (or 2) and when I drive nice (shift under 2500, 2000 when there is not traffic, around town, keep it under 3000 on the highway) I get about 30 mpg. About 48kmpg. Actually the BMW headlights aren't "bolt in", but minimal mods are needed to do it. Looks so nice, especially with the HID's. Go NISSAN. Tighen up the suspension on the max and you won't be disappointed.

Hope you have a good timing belt! I usually am a heavy foot, but $$ been tight lately, so I have to stretch every drop.

I get right around 20mpg (not sure if you guys talk about km/gallon/litre/whatever up there)
that's mixed city and highway driving
