Hello,

I have been lurking around for awhile but now I have decided to introdude myself. My name is Christian Najera and currently live in Phoenix, Arizona. I am a car nut and enjoy working on them as well.

Here is my current project and a list and some pics of other Nissan's that I have owned. The current one is a 1971 Datzun 240Z and i look forward on modifying the heck out of it. I have wanted one of these cars for the longest times. This is my 5th Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti that I have own. So far I have owned an Altima, Maxima, G35 Coupe 6mt, a 452hp 240sx and now this 240Z.

Here are some pics of the car and some plans that I have for the car. Plans are to install an SR or RB26, not sure which route I am going to take but have been searching my options on hybridz.org and other forums. Seen that there are a lot options for this car. Going to be focusing on suspension, rims and brakes first, and then worry about the motor, and the rest of the drivetrain parts. Looking for a 300-500 whp DD car. Not sure why I want that much power on something DD, but with an RB it will be pretty easy to achieve those numbers. Here is a list of what the car has and TONS of pics that the guy gave me.

Car has an L28 Dual 71 SUs, 260z manifold , a Header and 2.25 turbo exhaust, no cat. 83 280zx 5speed160-165 PSI all cylinders NEW Porsche SPORT seats (from a 911 Turbo) NEW 16x8 Wheels polished with black center wit 225/45/16 tires Infinity Speakers and rear 6x9 panel ( no stereo included.. its fried) Interior is in awesome shape aside from the 2 cracks on the dash (has dashmat) No rust, no body damage....straight body BRE Rear painted spoiler and Front Poly Air dam (painted and installed) LED External lights (to reduce load on light switch) MSA 3 spoke chrome leather steering and leather shift knob new carpet New master\slave cylinder for transmission chrome bumpers\ rubber bumperetts and all emblems intact new Fuel pump and all new fuel lines Good brakes and clutch New Dizzy\electronic Distributer, cap\rotor, wires and plugs new fuel lines all around new fuel pump new heater hoses (PITA when they blow) New radiator hoses and belts Polished valve cover and new gasket New U-joints

Might be buying my old s14 back and driving that or a bike. When I do the swap, everything will be already ready. Only thing that I would need to do is rip out the old one and install the new one plus the kit from mckinney and what not. I will buy everything that I need and start piecing eveything together for awhile until it's ready.
