wallyman424 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hey, so I've been sort of infatuated lately with getting a 240z and sticking an rb26 into it. Did some research about where to pick up an rb, and have been mostly unimpressed with most of the places. I've seen mentioned here multiple times about a guy Karim w/ a SN of racer98, however can't seem to find him on the board. Anyone know if he's still around? Otherwise I'm located in SC, would rather pick up a motor from the southeast. I've heard good things about JEI in VA, so thats probably at the top of my list right now. Otherwise I'm just searching for a solid 240 right now (i hate rust). Also, I'm not some 16 y/o punk here to waste peoples time and as obnoxious questions. This is my other ride. Can't drive it on the street unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) First off, welcome. Nice vette. I would suggest keeping an eye on the classifieds here for a candidate for a car. I have seen quite a few nice cars sell for short money around here. Ricky is a great guy and owns this joint; http://rawbrokerage.com/ Edited October 18, 2011 by Evan Purple240zt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZT-R Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Where in sc? I live in Beaufort rocking a rb26. Yes Ricky at raw brokerage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyman424 Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 I'm in charleston. I'll probably be asking you a bunch of questions as I get deeper into this. I actually tracked Karim down on nasioc, so we'll see how that works out. Otherwise rawbrokerage seems pretty legitimate too. I've been looking here and on craigslist for cars and have found a few candidates. The thing is, i really really really really really hate rust and body work. I'd rather just not deal with it, even if it means spending a little more on the car. I've been going back and forth with the owner of this thing, and overall am pretty impressed with it. I think it'd be a very solid starting point, even if it is a bit above what I wanted to spend on a project car. Only problem spot looks to be the rear upper decklid panel. I think I could bring myself to drill the spotwelds out and slap a new one on there. Looks pretty clean. Hopefully I can go take a look/pick it up in the next 2 weeks.

Tequilawormz31 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Glad to see more people around the Low Country. I have seen a 72 (pretty sure 72 at least) running around Summerville with a for sale sign in the back window. Looks really straight, not some expensive bondo and paint straight but original owner stored in barn straight. I'll keep an eye out for the number for ya.

jt1 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Wally, welcome to HybridZ. We've met at VIR sometime back, I'm the guy with the white V8 240Z. Maybe we'll get to meet up at CMP sometime. Unfortunately, I know zip about RB26's. jt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
