I haven't sold my car yet... so I'm still a HybridZ guy! Probably always will be!
Here's my new toy:
-
Wow Kevin! What's not to like about your car? I do hate to see mine go...
-
Car didn't sell... but I didn't figure it would. Time to part her out!
-
I very rarely go to that site for that single reason.... they dont know so they bash, and talk ♥♥♥♥.
Agreed! I NEVER go there. I didn't even post the car for sale there. Waste of time if you ask me. Had AKWIKZ (Nismo73 over there) not pointed it out to me I would never have seen it!
-
I think in Keith's honor, like 3-4 of us should split the cost! haha... then we'd sleep with the car and fight over it like Bart, Milhouse + Ralph with Radioactive Man #1.
You guys crack me up!
That's the one. It's pretty sedate. TonyD and Nismo73 did a good job setting things straight. I don't think it's worth my time to post a reply in that thread.

You guys are right. The car will likely not sell on ebay. That's okay, though... I'm not hurting for the money... just the time. I have recieved dozens of emails about the parts, however, and can probably part it out.
I guess the topic of my car came up on zcar.com (
) and I was getting slammed by some of thier members (guys who I don't even know... go figure) because my wheel studs are too long. ~17k in parts and I'm being knocked for my wheel studs? Lol... that's why I like Hybrid. -
Hey Keith, what do you honestly want for the setup?
Your car! hahahahaha... j/k. Dude if I tell you that then my auction will go sour (see how many bids I have?). My reserve is set at $10k. Anything above and beyond that is cool.
-
Thanks Joel... don't worry... I'll be around.
My stomach dropped because I know how much he has invested.Yeah... I've got about $17k in just parts! Nevermind the work that I have done on the body (well... the parts that are completed!).
Unfortunetly from what I have seen, no one buys ebay project cars unless they are silly cheap.This is my fear, too. In the 24 hours since the listing posted, though, I have recieved lots of questions and have quite a few 'watching'. We'll see. I can probably make more money parting the car out...

Whats the asking price on the RHD 510 and how close is it to running? I haven't checked the classifieds to see if its in there yet, but figured I'd ask. Sorry to see you sell your project, hope you make it back here soon.
Tyson
Tyson,
I haven't posted the 510 up yet. I'm waiting to see what happens with the RBZ. But... It needs an engine wiring harness (for the L20B), carpet and the dash (don't have the gauge cluster) re-installed and it's pretty much good to go. The paint is pretty clean (done about 3 years ago) and it has a fiberglass hood, trunk and the BRE bubble flares installed. I also have the RHD wiper components and misc...
I think I posted pictures awhile back....
I'm thinking 3500 OBO... but we'll see!
-
Sounds good to me!
-
Thanks guys!
Sorry to hear about your projectDon't be sorry... something else will be in my garage soon enough...and it will be running!

Hello All!
I haven't been on the site much lately... life has been hectic (I'm preparing for a career change and don't have much spare time). My RB26 240 project (and my RHD 510) has been languishing in the garage and I just can't give it the attention It needs. It was a painful (six month long) decision, but I have decided to sell the project off. But that's not the point, the point is...
Thanks for everything, HybridZ! I have met some great, life long, friends through this site and have learned a wealth of knowledge (technical and off-topic). I have delighted in seeing the projects of others grow and bear fruit. This site has been my E-Home for 3 years... and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Other forums would do well to follow Hybrid's Admin lead... but they won't and that is what makes this place unique!
I'll make a point to pop on here regularly and 'lurk'
Again... thanks to Super Dan, the Admin staff, the members, and the former members (the entertainment value) for making this place a breath of fresh air. Good Luck!
Keith

Nothing hardcore... but I love taking it out!

I will definately pass on your thoughts and prayers. Thanks a million... Hybrid-Z'ers are a great bunch!

They don't typically deal motorsets... that's why thier prices may seem a bit high. I can tell you, thought, that they do go through and check out all the motors that come through the shop. They are pretty RB savvy, too... since that's most all they deal with (car-wise... I don't count thier wheel business).
Not knocking anyone looking for a savings (Hell... I'm always looking!), but I do find it quite humorous when individuals ask where they can find RB26 parts on the cheap. The words 'RB26' and 'cheap' should never be included in a sentence unless that sentence also contains the words 'are not'.
PLEASE NOTE: I am not directing the previouse statement to anyone in particular. Hotimport's post just reminded me of a number of conversations I have had with random individuals... individuals who want to put an RB26 into thier car on a $3000 budget
-
Was it a brain tumor?
That was one of the first things they looked for... but didn't find.
Thanks for the condolences. His wife is staying strong... it's hard with three small children, but her family is there for them. She has been remarkably composed and, testament to the strength of thier marriage, would gladly go through this all over again.
-
If you're looking for RB26 parts you can always try RBMotoring:
They only have 10 GTR's, 15+ RB26's and gobbs of '26 stock and aftermarket parts on-hand at any given time.

Neil Brodeur (El Jefe) passed away on 30 August. He was 28 years old and he (and his wife Maria) had just celebrated the birth of thier third child.
Neil had been suffering from chronic migraines. Doctors had run so many tests on him that he often joked about being a 'guinea pig'. Despite these tests, however, they were unable to determine the cause of the migraines... relegating Neil to an ever increasing dosage of pain killers. On wednesday, August 30th, he took his medicine, went to bed... and never woke up.
I'm really sorry to bring such sad news here to the forum, but this has been really hard on my wife and I (I cannot imagine what his wife is going through). Neil and I had been good friends for 12 years (since highschool)... his loss is tragic. He was a great human being, strong father and husband, and a good friend. I firmly believe that if we all could be half the man that Neil was... the world would be a better place. (Not that you all aren't good folk
)Although Neil did not post much, he was an avid Hybrid'Zer and this site, along with several of it's members, provided him a much needed respite from his affliction. His wife called to thank me for being a good friend to Neil, it's only fair that I pass some of that appreciation to this community... in some way this site and it's members helped Neil forget about his pain.
I have not posted here, nor worked on my car, since Neil's passing. Perhaps getting this all off my chest is a good way of dealing with the loss. Thanks, Hybrid-Z'ers, for taking the time to listen.
Rest In Peace, brother!

They worked for me (unless they were repaired previous to my viewing). Interesting, though...
-
I think Mike and Thumper are right. It could, and probably would, cause problems. I don't think the admins/mods would ban anyone without just cause and they have always been forthcoming with thier reasoning.
Like Mike said:
When people lose their objectivity and get personal, that's when things go wrong...Creating a post listing banned members might only create shouting matches and more 'bannings'.

Found the paint color code:
-
Excellent... thanks. Probably throw it on e-bay and see what I can get for it (since it won't work on my RB!). Perhaps I can cut the connectors off and sell them seperate. The harness is NIB and I might be able to make more off just the connectors.
BTW... Stay away from that Pineapple Salad and say hi to Claudia for me! (couldn't resist... I'll stop now before it gets WAY too cheesy!)
-
Thanks Skull Leader!
The Sentra had the 1.8L and 2.5L I4 engines, correct? Could you tell which one this was for?
Regardless... it's probably not worth crapola.
-
I know there are a few individuals on here who have access to the Nissan Parts counter. Perhaps someone can run a number for me? It's an engine harness, but I don't know what year, make, model it is... and that's what I would like to know. Here's the part number:
24011-5M061
Thanks

New 2-wheeled toy

Enough to know what I'm getting myself into! j/k
Before Destination, Setup and TTL... about $10,000
My other bike is a DL650 V-Strom... which moves me from A to B (or A to XYZ given enough time off!) quite nicely.
The Ducati, though, is the only bike I have owned that MOVES me. I actually went to buy a Monster S2R... but the GT1000 was talking to me and I couldn't say no. NO regrets, either. This thing is frickin SEX on 2 wheels (well... for me anyways).
