For those of you who don't know it, Rex is a true Datsun and Nissan fanatic. He can cite early Datsun history like nobody's business, and owns no less than seven cool Nissan/Datsun products, including this rare gem:

Rex is a psychiatrist who runs a behavioral health network in Central Florida, and he is a well-renowned speaker in the field. He spends a great deal of time traveling the country speaking on mental health treatment modalities.

Many people don't know that he actually attended school AND taught at Harvard University.

Here's another one of Rex's rides, his daily driver: A 1992 Infiniti M30 droptop, with a little surprise for the unsuspecting ricers in and around Orlando - it's turbo'ed. :D

As if those weren't enough, Rex has a thing for vintage Datsun iron. Here's his most recent acquisition, an early 70's Zcar with only 30K ORIGINAL miles on it! Needless to say, this one will need very little to be show-car material, and Rex says it runs awesome.

More Datsun vintage stuff - Thisone is a 1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster, in spectacular original unrestored condition. It has been returned to "like-new" condition mechanically, and we spent quite a bit of time zipping around Orland in it. What a great little car (Datsun was WAY ahead of it's time with the Roadsters).

Here's the beast that lurks within - The envy of all NICOnauts and the ULTIMATE NICO RIDE, the R33. Not just any R33, though. This one has a few tricks up its sleeves. :)

Check the goodies! At the time I was there, the front shaft was still removed from an earlier dyno session. The Skyline is being prepped for 4-digit hp figures.

I was thoroughly impressed with how smooth and comfortable the car was, despite the brute horsepower it puts down. What a thrill blasting through the tree-lined backroads of Central Florida in a tuned Skyline!

Can't spend time with the Official NICOmobile without the obligatory picture, so, here's "yours truly" with the R33.

More pics of the behemoth Skyline - It's got quite a reputation in Florida. The front bumper was removed to make way for the massive custom-made intercooler (which is a work of art!). The 4" exhaust by BRM is spectacular as well.

A better view of the intercooler:

Gotta REPRESENT!

We all owe him big time! :)

(Oh, and it's an R33. ;))

I'm gonna have to tell Fred about this aren't I?

still some super cool cars though, he's not gonna be at the Big Spring Meet by chance is he? That'd be cool, he could tell me about my obvious mental issues:D

Can you tell I was sleepy when I was putting that post together?

Hmm,
Do I sense some editing has gone on?

Either way, great write-up Greg!

Fred...:thumbup

He used to have not one, but 2 Q45's in addtion to those.
I am driving one of his "old" Q's right now, which I bought from him a year ago.

Fred...:)

Dont forget:

The man has worked 12 to 14 hour days, for the last 20 years..
I know cuz he's so hard to het a hold of Once I visited and he worked from 0730 to 2100 ( 9pm)

Fred..:)

Don't forget the two Quest minivans, the Q45 (supercharged), and the pristine 60's-era Datsun pickup.

One of the most awesome things about Rex is his family. He's married to a lovely lady named Ann (who makes a MEAN pot of spaghetti:)), and they have four beautiful children. His oldest is 12, and knows more about sport compacts than most adult enthusiasts. He's VERY dedicated to his family, and they were great to hang out with.

I have met Rex personally as well and wow, he is truly an amazing individual. I did not know he had so many Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti's though. I didn't know you had met him Greg. Awesome pics. Last time I talked to Rex (June meet in Indianapolis last year) he had the skyline basically stock. Looks like lots of work has been done, and it is truly great to see it!

RIP Blue Emerald 1995 240sx SE.

It was a good time. :)

Nice post AZ.

Don't expect a reply anytime this semester - The man is bizzzzy! :)

The god of Nissan hath spoken...

He says you are destined to own a Datsun 1600 Roadster with a S20 engine, utilizing twin pairs of Mikuni 38mm sidedrafts, and a 2.75" exhaust dumped out the side, with an un-muffled, open large primary header.

It is your quest in life to own this car... and giveth Nismo_Freak soundwaves of such S20 @ 8500 rpm so that he may sleep well at night.

For those of you unfamiliar with the S20... learn it ... it is your quest!

My old 240sx wheels, with spacers. VG30ET swap, T3/T4, Tial 38mm wg, injectors, MAF, FMIC, BRM exhaust.

It's daily driven, the main limit on HP is the tranny, the stock Auto just can't take the abuse.

And Greg, you forgot to mention his 'old' toys... a GSXR 1100 with nitrous, and a turbo bussa. Because everybody knows that only a woman would ride a normally aspirated hybussa.
