dr_hunt Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 My boy bought his 260z and I was looking for v8 swap info. I had remembered the scarab, but a quick google search and I found hybridz.org. I lurked around as a guest for about 4 months before joining. Then I read posts and threads for awhile longer before I ever posted anything. I was amazed at all the info here. I've never really went anywhere else. What's your all's story? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I did a search way back when I first came to the Internet and found "The V8 Swapper's Forum" which was Owen's baby back then. I never posted, but just read for about a year straight. I eventually joined up and the admin liked me enough to recruit me for admin help. Funny, but I have spent more time on the forum than I have on the car....pitiful. I have to reverse that trend. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun40146 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Happy to say that I am a Zcar convert, and discovered this site while at Zcar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TeamNissan Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was on zcar a long time while I had my z32's then quoc (240z_master) turned me on to 240s while he was doing his rb25 swap. Once you own a 240z you really cant live without this site, so here I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I had bought a Z and just started searching for general info and i came across the sight. In fact before i had decided on the rb swap i had pestered scottie about his GNZ and what parts i needed a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I was on the IZCC list and kept asking suspension questions that nobody could answer. I think it was Pete Paraska who suggested I check it out here. I knew the site was here but I figured V8's made Z's handle like crap and was never that interested in the site. Yep, I was that moron.

jtmny1999 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I came from Zdriver.com at that time I decided I was going to swap out my 82 turbo motor to my 240z but people there didn't really help me out much. So someone there told me to go to hybridz.org I think it was Aux not sure. So I ended up here and successfully did my swap =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfreer85 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I saw a 240z in the cameraads when I was looking for a car. Went searching for info on a 240z and someone had mentioned a V8 swap into one, I then saw the Darius240z video went bezerk trying to find more info and finally found hybridz.org through searching for more Darius240z. I've never been into any other Z-car or car website other than HybridZ.org , the people here rock, the admins keep a tight shift, and well you guys know your sh*t and are willing to share it!! Love you hybridz.org Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 A guy in a nearby city told me he was putting a 327 in his 240z. About a year later I began my swap and cam across this site on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbk240z Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have been into Z cars since I owned my first 240, High School, 1989. Then owned a few since then. Then back in 2004, while getting back in the Z game, I found Pete Paraska's site. I checked out his links and that lead me here to HybridZ.

silversix Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Picked up a 240 back in 96, it was my first car. Ran across hybridz about four years ago while researching a turbo swap. Been lurking ever since...........................oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayolives Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I meet JT1 (John T.) at a track event a few years ago. He has been a valuable source of information and he also turned me on to Hybrid Z. Thank you John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnjdragracing Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I joined zcar.com, and they were giving me a lot of sh$# I guess because I was a V8, Scottie and WigenOut-S30 contacted me and told me about HybridZ and this is the place for me. So here I am, I told my brother Jerry and he told his friend Boatwright. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383 240z Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 And then they told two friends and they told two friends!!! I found it right after I bought my first s-30, I was searching for Z car clubs in my area, I found a 100 point resto group, who was appalled that I wanted to modify the car, and I was refered to as a hybrider! I of course had no Idea what they were talking about. I continued on with that car, My plan was just to get it running and drivable for cheap, then mod it as time and $$ allowed. My other car was a blown rx-7 street port, I got the goofy idea to V-8 it. Some buddies of mine in RX-7 club pointed me to Torquecentral.com, I got to talking to some guys on it, During the swap sombody asked what other projects we had and I posted about my 240Z and I got a PM to check this place out. Funny thing is I finished and raced and sold the RX-7 and my Z is still waiting to move under her own power!! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
