With the release of the 370z just a couple of weeks away at the LA International Auto Show everyone is out to get the first hands on experience with the new Z.  Z Car Garage will have your fix on the 21st of November with the coming of Nissan’s official “Follow the Z” tour!

There will be TWO pre-production 370Zs on show at Z Car Garage on November 21st from 3-7pm.  Other attractions include gaming stations staring the newest installment of EA Games’ feature “Need For Speed: Undercover” which stars the 370z!  Sponsors will be supplying the show with a DJ, giveaways, free food, and other attractions.  There will also be a chance to win a trip to the next Tokyo Auto Salon!  Who wouldn’t love to be in Japan for that?

SPEED tv is also rumored to be following the tour across the country to make some sort of a show out of the whole deal.  There will also be celebrity appearances such as race car driver Tanner Foust to add to the entire driving experience.

Of the 15 stops on the tour, Z Car Garage is the only Z ONLY shop to be included!   We will be going all our to prepare the shop and all of our best cars for this very important event;  AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE THAT THE ZCG R35 GT-R WILL BE HERE!!

If you live near the shop make sure you take the time to check this event out.  It is going to be amazing!  More info to come as soon as I get it.

Check the link below for the official tour site.  I will be adding more links to sponsors as I receive the information.

Z Car Garage has begun the transformation of it’s first customer GT-R for a SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show booth which takes place next week.  Work was started immediately because the car needs to be detailed and on a trailer for the show by Saturday morning.   The car will be under a full assault of modifications over the next 48 hours so the Z Car crew has a couple of sleepless nights ahead of them!

The GT-R will be receiving a full compliment of carbon accents: side skirts, front bumper insert, front splitter, side vents, and the rear lower valence panel.  The TOP SECRET coil over kit that will be used keeps the standard Bilstein struts and the driver adjustable suspension.   Next is the full titanium exhaust system with a stainless steel cat-delete mid-pipe; I will get some more info on the manufacturer and specs.   Also, there is a one off set of HRE wheels that was made specially for this car, I will need to wait for the go ahead to show pics of these because they are supposed to premier at SEMA.  The entire set up is truly a thing of beauty.

There will be more pictures and info as the week comes to a close

We had a great time out at Laguna Seca this last weekend.  Thanks to all who came out to support Z.O.N.C. and show their Z cars.  There was a great turn out at the corral and it was nice to see G35s and G37s join the group.  The races themselves left something to be desired due to the fact that every on track event was hampered by multiple cautions, sometimes without a full green flag lap between them.  Enjoy the pictures and hopefully we will have an even bigger turnout next year with some more exciting racing.

The ALMS race is tomorrow and the Z Car Corral is going to be located right around turn 5.  We are going to be bringing out a few cars so stop by and say hello.  I will also be taking pictures of the entire weekend so expect to see them up here soon (as if I don’t have enough photos to edit already.)  Be safe and have fun!!

I’m still working on the JCCS report.  My finished draft somehow was deleted last night so I will be starting over today.  It’ll be up AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  Thanks
