Z Car Garage on Ebay Motors Blog!

2014 Nissan 370z Nismo

Our customer and friend of the shop Bill Clark just reviewed the 2014 Nismo 370z for eBay Motors Blog. In addition to giving readers a taste of the 370z, he also compares it to his slightly modified 350z. Bill’s 2007 350z was one of the first HR-powered cars at ZCG to receive a Bassani exhaust and minor bolt-ons resulting in just over 300whp. Time does fly and these mods were installed six years ago! Good news is that Bill is still Enjoying The Ride in his beloved 350z and he was kind enough to think of Z Car Garage when writing his eBay article. We happily dyno’d both the Nismo 370z and Bill’s 350z so check his review out for the results!

Thanks again Bill for giving ZCG a shout in your review!

Datsuns Are Driven! On Saturday I joined two roadster friends and we made a quick run up Hwy 9.  We began our fun run 3-cars wide on Hwy 85 enjoying some early spring-like weather:

Once we got through downtown Saratoga we twisted our way up 9 just past Skyline to a vista point:

Here is a short video of me chasing Raul in his 1967.5 1600:

 

 

People love the roadsters. Folks were quick to snap pictures and ask questions.

A couple came up to us with a Polaroid they had just taken. These cars really stir the soul!

Raul pointed out how the cars show three levels of restoration. Mike’s gorgeous silver 1967.5 SPL is an unmodified factory stock example with whitewalls and OEM interior. Raul’s white 1967.5 SPL is a total sleeper with a 2L power plant/5-speed and upgraded suspension. Finally, my black 1967.5 SPL is considerably modified with a full SR drivetrain, suspension and custom interior.

Here are a few pictures from our last fun run:
