Official Introduction


Ted.

Recommended Posts

I actually already kind of introduced myself in an engine thread, but I figured I would go ahead and make a post about myself.

I'm Ted (obviously), and I was previously a pharmaceutical technician for a local hospital, but I've recently left their to become a Navy guy, specifically aviation mechanics. I'm 23 years old, and have had a slew of different cars. I was a big push rod muscle car guy when I was in high school, but it was mostly the fact that they were stupid loud and incredibly simple. I've had a '78, '79, and '86 Camaro, all with pretty typical 350s, an '85 El Camino with a 305, and my first car, a '65 Corvair Monza 110 that me and my dad built. As far as dailies go, I've had a couple EG chassis civics, a '69 Beetle (that was a lot of fun), '00 Focus, and a previous auto cross car in the form of an '86 Gti with a G60 from a Corrado.

However, I've been an avid Z car nut for close to 8 or so years now (8th grade to 23), and have owned 6 different Zs. Them being a '73 240z, a '74 260z, a '78 280z, an '86 300zx Turbo, and two '87 300zx Turbos. You could say I have a bit of a problem! I'm extremely familiar with the L series engine, having built a few for friends. I'm also pretty good with the VG30E(T), though my work on those has been limited larger turbos, injectors, fuel pumps, and basic maintenance/bolt ons.

I've been playing bass for about 7 years and acoustic for 9, and listen to everything from Dead Milkmen to the Grateful Dead to Timmy Curran to Slayer to Eminem, I.E. Everything. I also can't get enough of Archer and South Park.

Anyways, its good to be here and I hope to stay!

Welcome Ted, is there another Z car in your future?

Oh absolutely. I would like to find a 260z shell once I get the motor built, mainly because the motor I have planned will have a 2569cc displacement. I can't wait to get back behind the wheel of an S30 chassis, the Z31 just isn't cutting it for me, LOL
