Greetings from WA, USA

Hey all,

I'm Bird (not real name).

I'm researching / acquiring / building my dream RB25DET to transplant in to my 1972 240Z.

I've built a number of engines over the years, but this will be my first RB. I'm excited for the process and have a lot to learn.

Welcome Bird! 

This is gonna be awesome. Two of my fave things: RBs and classic zeds.

Can't wait to follow along!

Ooo, I love the 240z! It's such a timeless design that will always look great.

I'm unlikely to be any help with this, but I'd love to see how you go with it

Welcome Bird! What engine is in the car now?

BTW, I knew Western Australia was planning to secede, but who would have imagined they would join the US!

Stock L24. Not the original serial number, so i don't feel too guilty about pulling it out.

well, I've always figured, your car, your choice!

It will have minimum 2x the go compared to a stock L24 so you should notice the difference....

If I build it the way I intend to, it will likely be closer to 3X. 

Definitely going to need to upgrade everything else as well.
