My Z has an interesting nickname "The Demon Z" I bought it on 06/06/06, I got a classic 1972 license plate with the number 666 at the end, finished the engine first time on friday the 13th, had some problems, finished it the second time on halloween, then had to take it apart again, and just recently finished it a third time and I seemed to have gotten all my little problems taken care of. The car was in a Police impound for close to 6 years(I found some info on the net that leads me to beleive it was evidence in a murder case) then it was bought, sat behind a cheapo used car place and finally made it's way to the junk yard where I found it.

Immediately after the dyno, I towed the car to it's new home in the newly aquired storage unit/shop next to Z Rob Go's 68 Datsun Roadster. The car will be stripped down, frame will be fixed, cage welded in, suspension upgraded, and the new larger engines will be built:

My friend Jake Was being re-deployed to Florida and needed an engine, so I yanked my temporary 2.4 out and we put it in his car:
