Novice Petrol Head Posted Tuesday at 01:07 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:07 AM I've been searching and reading Hybrid for over three years while building my first Z. I just purchased my second Z project. It is a 1972 240z that has a relatively stock RB25 engine and transmission. It came with a bunch of parts, including a z32 ECU tuned by Enthalpy and a bunch of Greddy parts. I'm positive that I'll have some specific questions with this build, so I thought I'd make an account. I'm open to all feedback and will answer any questions, but I must warn you that I am an accountant and lawyer. Accordingly, my mechanical skills are all self-taught and just a hobby. I made sure to read through all the rules, but please let me know if I'm messing something up. I took a couple of pictures of my first Z project. I did the majority of the work myself, including rust repair, metal fab, rebuilding brakes, re-gasketing the engine, suspension bushing, interior sound deadening and vinyl, and paint and body. The goal of this car is a daily driveable stock car that has one or two mods for reliable performance. The link to the photos is below: https://photos.app.goo.gl/FEXaWgYEMedA2FJv9 I just started this album, but I'll be updating it as I get working on the project. The goal of this car is to make a performance-based street car that will occasionally see the track.

jhm Posted Tuesday at 05:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:54 PM Welcome to the forum -- glad to have you join us! (What took you so long to join?? 😜) Nice job on the 240, and documenting the build. It looked a lot like my 260 did, when I dragged it out of a field 8 years ago not too far from you (Black Mtn). Looking forward to seeing the progress on the RB-swap. As you probably already know, there are some great track events nearby in VA and NC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novice Petrol Head Posted Wednesday at 03:19 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:19 AM I'm actually new to NC. I moved here two years ago from Ohio. I joined SCCA to see some events, but what other track events are around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kinds of events are you interested in? The "Roval" at Charlotte Speedway, VIR, and NCCAR are probably the three closest venues to you with road course events, sponsored by different clubs and organizations. If you like, I can PM you links and contact info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novice Petrol Head Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:21 PM I would love a PM with more info. Currently, I'm just looking for fun spectator events. Eventually I'd like to auto cross and road course track days when my cars are dialed in. Thanks for all the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayolives Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Virginia International, Carolina Motorsports Park are both good ones. CMP is in SC. Depending on where you are, both should not be far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
