Eric L has been with Z Car Garage since our opening almost 9 years ago. He bought his Z32TT while in college and took great care of his Z for many years. He decided it was time for more traction and braking so we installed a Stoptech big-brake kit up front and new wheels/tires.

Before/after shot of the F/R brakes:

 

The stock rear calipers were matched to the front and treated to new Stoptech rotors with 309 brake pads:

 

We also took care of a few others items like replacing the hood insulation and some general maintenance.

 

Staggered Work Emotion CR-Kai wheels contrast nicely with the with the pearl white paint and allow for some wider tires to be fitted!

Enjoy The Ride Eric!

 

Froilan P came to Z Car Garage for a few upgrades on his G37S Coupe. We started with a Stoptech Sport Kit with new slotted rotors, stainless lines and the great 309 brake pads:

 

Here is the before/after for F/R:

 

We also installed a JWT heavy duty clutch/aluminum flywheel and freshened up the clutch hydraulics with a ZSpeed t/o and master cylinder:

Stay tuned as things get a bit more interesting for Froilan’s G…he’s on the waiting list for a GTM turbo kit!

John T or “Taco” as we call him around the shop has been coming to Z Car Garage for several years. In 2008 we installed a built engine in his Z32TT along with some hardware that he had been saving. He visited us recently to have build the rest of the Z to have a more balanced sports car. The stock suspension was old and not up to the task of supporting significantly more power than stock.

 

We installed full suspension including Stance coil-overs and a host of Powertrix parts:

 

Here are the tired stock shocks and the new Stance coil-overs:

 

Powertrix rear control arms:

Powertrix T/C rods, end-links and camber arms:

 

With new suspension John can now enjoy a sports car that can keep up with the increased power!

 

Joe R was referred to Z Car Garage by long-time customer and Z33 owner “T.C”. Joe’s 2013 370z came to us with just 1900 miles on the odometer ready for some bolt-ons!  We installed Fast Intentions Hi-Flow cats, their TDX exhaust system and Stillen intakes:

Hi-flow cats from Fast Intentions:

 

The TDX cat-back exhaust compared to stock:

 

UPREV tuning yields 311hp/250tq to the wheels:

 

We think making the rear diffuser black is a must have for any 370z and William’s has been doing this mod for the front (pre-2013) and rear since the Z34 was released:

 

Gordon came to Z Car Garage for Stillen Gen3 intakes and a Fast Intentions exhaust system. ZCG is a Fast Intentions dealer so please visit the shop if you are interested in their products! Here is the Fast Intentions TDX cat-back exhaust system and Stillen intakes:

 

The exhaust looks great from the rear:

 

Stock single muffler vs the TDX dual muffler setup:

Stillen Gen3 Intakes are always a nice addition to the new HR engines:

 

An UPREV tune maximizes benefits from the enhanced breathing. Peak power jumps by 10hp/9tq to the wheels but the real gains are seen from 3000 to 7500rpm. Dyno shows gains from exhaust + UPREV only:

Enjoy The Ride, Gordon!
