Joe C and his wife are both huge convertible fans. Joe’s ride is a vintage Mustang and his wife’s is this pretty Z32 convertible. Joe wanted his wife to fall back in love with her Z and enlisted the help of Z Car Garage.
We started with a full suspension revamp including Eibach springs on Tockiko 5-way adjustable shocks,
Stillen sway bars and Powertrix control arms and tension rods:
Brakes calipers were rebuilt and upgraded with Stoptech’s Sport Kit:
Cosmetics needed attention as well. We replaced the torn softop and the faded rear tail-light finisher, both common wear items:
NA Z32s that have aftermarket exhausts systems can be loud. Put the top down and it can be annoying. We wanted a performance sound that wouldn’t intrude on the top-down driving experience so we made a custom exhaust system using an extra-large resonator. Factory looks and a mellow Z tone…this sun bunny is ready for the road!

Taka Y is the new owner of this ’72 S30 and it needed a specialty shop’s touch so he visited ZCG. We gave the Z a once-over and took care of general maintenance items including a full carb tune-up, Pertronix igntion, fusebox, and new fuel hoses:
What’s next for Taka’s Z? Stay tuned as we improve the handling with new suspension and some Panasports!

David M is a long time Z32 owner and we talked about building up his ’91 300zx Twin-Turbo for several years. In 2010 we did a full engine build including a ZCG long block, cams, BB 530 turbos, oil coolers and dual POP chargers.
With 10k miles on the fresh drivetrain it was time for smog and braking system work. We tuned the car for 91 and 100 octane. Big thanks to Seb from SpecialtyZ for the opportunity to now tune the intake/exhaust cams with NISTUNE software.
Here is the 91 octane tune with peak gains of 11hp/18tq at the wheels:
Here is the old vs new tune on 100 octane:
