My Z1 400 hp kit with tune seems to have lowered my mpg to about 25 with easy driving.

I used to be able to get 30-32. Oh well...

Yeah, I can get 30s easy when there's some traffic and not wide open 85 mph toll road like today

I started regularly hitting the 30 mpg mark on highway trips after my Ecutek tune. Other than that and intakes, I am still stock. But I would take 400 crank hp and worse mileage any day

After seeing the 2015 Nismo lights in person last week, I got sick of seeing my chrome lights.

Both headlights are currently apart and the housing painted and waiting for them to dry . Baking $1400 worth of headlights is definitely for the faint of heart, but luckily no issues.

Can't wait to see them back together and on the car!

Done! Just waiting for the sealant to dry, then will run another bead over the outside joints just to be sure. Time consuming, but overall easier than I thought.

I took a shortcut on the way to my mother-in-laws house and led a parade. LOL. I noticed that the road was blocked off at all the intersections and looked in the rear view, and saw the parade behind me. The best part was the cops at all the intersection waved, and I waved back like I was supposed to be there. Thank god the car was clean!
