The GReddy RB intake manifolds have come back to us from our fabrication shop and we couldn’t be happier with the result!!  They have been modified to suit our needs for the RB 240Zs that are currently being built but that is about all I care to divulge.  You will also notice that the surface has also been roughly polished to prepare for the final finishes which are still to be determined.

The other photo is of the throttle bodies that have been modified.  There are a few upgrades on these as well but at this time we are also choosing to keep the modifications under wraps, I’m sure you can understand the need for secrecy here…

Look for more updates soon as the projects roll along towards completion!!!  ZCG!!!

We have done a couple of these modifications before to other HR equipped 350Zs with great results.  This round of upgrades differs in two areas.  First off, this is the first set of headers that we have done on an HR car, and secondly, this car is an automatic.

The other changes we made to the car were the tried and true Injen intake system and a pair of Stillen high-flow catalytic converters, both of which we have installed on numerous cars that have come through the shop.  Both of these parts have made nice gains in the past so we pretty much knew what to expect here.

Looking at the dyno graph you can see that the automatic transmission is certainly using up a little more power than in the manual cars but the power gains are more than noticeable.  The car is now more powerful throughout the entire rev range and the torque curve in the middle is now gonna give that push in the back that we all love when you stab the throttle.

I have a feeling that we will be seeing this car again for another round of modifications.  Now that we are an Up-Rev software retailer maybe we will get the chance to play with the fuel and timing tables to get the car where it needs to be.  We can’t wait to get the chance.

Just wanted to share these pictures of a newly transformed 240z.  Panasports have been the obvious wheel choice for the iconic Z car for years for a good reason, THEY LOOK GREAT!!

Just when you thought the ZX was starting to fade into the distance…. something like this eBay auction happens!!  Apparently this is number 1 of 3000 “Black Gold” tenth anniversary 280ZXs and it is trying to fetch a pretty penny through the online auction.

The car has just over 1,000 miles on it since new so it isn’t hard to see why the starting bid is $35,000, but I’m sure that will seem like a bargain in the coming years when there are no more of these cars left.  It looks like the owner is quite the Z enthusiast because you can see a quite a few fellow S30 chassis Zs in the garage as well.  Make sure you check out the listing and all the other photos by clicking the eBay link below, and thanks to Autoblog.com for the heads up on the awesome Z news.
