Age: 16
Occupation: Currently no job, however it's in the works and I'm looking. Hopefully get a job in automotive and/or contruction, depends on what's availiable. May get into auto-body repair, etc.
What I'm Good At: Well mostly computers, as opposed to cars as some of you may think. I first started out with a Windows 3.11 machine, which I learned how to type. Since then, working with chat and talking to peeps over MSN, minor school help, ofcourse, I've gotten over 290 WPM on a max-speed burst test (20 seconds). Average on that test was 184 WPM. On a one minute test, I was running averages of 90 to 160, depending on what sort of words they throw at me. That was last year, though, before I dropped out of highschool (freshman year...). Now I doubt I could type that, but I hope my typing skills will last long enough for me to get a job! Now that computer jobs are a lost prospect, I think I may get into manual labor (damnit!). Other than that, I live a fairly simple life. I have a nice home-audio system (for being a shelf system, anyways...) and I have a fairly good (yet slow) computer. I have my dime, (info below!) that I'm currently working on and hope to get restored as much as possible. I'm also reading different stuff on cars, mechanical and electrical mainly, but I'm trying to get into something more specific, like carbueration and fuel injection, or maybe exhaust systems. I've given up on automotive electrical systems... too damned complicated! Have you seen the wiring harness on a 2003 Chevy Silverado? It's 2" thick, 3" in parts where there are a lot of distrubution to be had. Yuck.

1971 Datsun 2-Door Primered Gray. L16 engine. Alloy directional rims (don't know what the name of them is). New rear view mirror. Milky windshield, some rust in the floor pan. New carpet (custom, not a kit, and incomplete at that!) The entire car is totally stock, except for some guages we slapped in to replace the crappy idiot lights. No tach. :( The door-locks do not work, and, there is no outter window trim, either. Currently substituting with a nice 4-door set of trim. ^_^

I plan to transform this ugly duckling into a silver w/ black - or - white racing stripes, and some nice panasport rims. Tinted glass, flared fenders, and a nice full insulation kit to eliminate those nasty road noises. Driving lights in the front, possibly a new front bumper. Plan to do a nice stereo installation, probobly a component set up with a nice set of subs.

Now, as far as my engine, it's probobly going to get a nice L20B swap, with dual SU's. Possibly an overduration camshaft, Flowmaster exhaust, and a flex-fan to keep her running cooler. As always, it'll be nice and powder-coated, with complimentary polishing here and there.

I plan to make it my daily driver/restoration. That's just about it, for now.

1972 510 Wagon: (Bought Oct. 02)
-VG30e w/ 200sx intake plenum, custom intake, re-worked water neck and heater pipes/hoses, Griffen Aluminum Radiator and 5 spd (installed with Experimental engineerings kit). EFI with VW surge tank, modified wagon tank, 5/16" lines

-15x6 Turbo Swastika wheels with 195/50/15 Kumho Ecsta 712's
-13x7 Libra clones with FAT hoosier slicks (OMG it looks soo sweet!)
More work is in progress!...

1972 Flared 2 door
-Uhmm got this when i was 15...tore it all down...fixed rust/new floors got some bodywork done. Built "penultimate rear crossmember" and rear 280zx caliper mounts. (for 4 wheel disc brakes). It has sat idle for a long time...Plans for this now look like a race/autoX/fun car type thing.

1972 NON flared 2-door
-I bought this because it was (CHEAP). I think it was july '01? The reason i was looking for another was becuase i didnt want to invest $$$ into a paint job on the flared car...(fibreglass etc...) And I think i like to unflared look better. It was stripped right down when I got it, no glass, hood, fenders (DOH!) but it is from california and is very solid. I never did much work to it...sits idle...awaiting for me to have more time and more money!

Uhmm other cars...1984 300zx - wrecked, got for engine etc. (THANks Glen!)
Jon Braunstiens old yellow 4 door..it was wrecked and he had pretty much stripped most things from it. I got a few useful things (even though i havent used them for the 3 years i've had them!)

*shutters* I had a camaro for probably uhmm 2 or 3 years...it was together and i drove it to school/work etc. As much as i hated it...i have to admit it was quite fun at times. (still glad its gone). I sold it in October of '02, right after I bought the wagon.

Well..thats that!

Vehicles:

Clean 71 Datsun 510 shell, waiting for motor install. Just a shell - no interior at all. I currently have the engine hoist on another project. Installing the Z22e motor, and doing researching turbo charging it w/ the T3 turbo from an 84 300zx turbo.

Rusty 71 Datsun 510, full interior, rust holes EVERYWHERE, although all the mechanical parts are good. I'm using this as a total parts car - pulling EVERYTHING and keeping it in storage for "emergency" usage.

Nasty 83 Datsun Maxima (81), getting towed away VERY soon. I'm using this for a possible rear-end swap (pulling the R180 out of it) for when I start pumping put the Z22e on the clean 510.

Sweet 79 Kawasaki 400LTD motorcycle - bought it for $165, and all it needed was a new battery and a few fuses. Started up right away after the battery swap, and i've been driving it around ever since.

1972 Datsun 510 2 door, Was l-16/auto, red in color 32000 miles on the clock.
Was originally purchased in Ottawa, The name on the title is from the original "little old lady" (wasn't so old when she bought it)

Have owned lots of 720's 620's Z cars But this is my first dime. Have wanted one for a long time..

But around here most old Datsun return to the earth from which they came...(god dammed salt!!!!)

Jumped on the chance to get this one when I found it.
The car sat in my neighbors barn from nov 1999 to march 2003, while I pieced together the necessary parts to fix (also became a father twice in the meantime kinda slowed things down a little)\
Met a cool Guy in Calgary,Tim Bindle, He sold me some relatively decent steel front fenders, valance, front bumper. I had purchased original complete "new" never installed L-R rear quarter panels and rockers from a guy here in Ottawa, but only needed one rocker when body work time came.( sold the quarters to a guy in Toronto to finiance body job)

Anyhoo, a few months later, The car now sports 4 wheel discs(280zx) front and rear sway bars 3/4 rear 1" front, all new bushings, slotted rear crossmember, reversed 1969 front crossmember, suzuki swift turbo seats,a nice 1978 corvette candy blue base clear paint with the required BRE stripes (done by mixing a silver/gold pearl in the clear)which are only visible when the car is sideways.(he-he) :D lowered approx 2"
In the process of completing the install of a 1990 ka24e motor trans etc.... Still sorting out oil pan issues....

Would Love to hear from anybody who's done this swap...
Anybody else in my neck of the woods???

Will post some pics once I get the sizing worked out.
