David D came to ZCG for several upgrades on his Nismo 370z. The car already had a GTM Supercharger and VOLK CE28N wheels finished in Mag. Blue.

A full Berk cat-back exhaust was installed. Here are the mufflers, mid-pipes and crossover:

The Z got a new clutch and Z Speed T/O bearing:

Finally, Hotchkis sway bars front and rear:

I love the CE28Ns on the Z34!

Alex G owns this black M45 and came to ZCG for suspension upgrades. Even big, stylish luxury sedans can have firm rides without being too harsh thanks to Tein and their EDFC.

Here are the Tein Flex Coil-overs and EDFC module mounted in the armrest:


The suspension goes in with SPC Camber arms F/R:

A full alignment followed the installation, here are few before/after shots:

 This 3rd generation M-sedan is now ready to carve some corners or cruise comfortably all by push of a button!

Dana R owns this absolutely gorgeous Cherry Red Pearl Z32TT. He came to ZCG for a complete suspension upgrade, timing belt/60k services and a few bolt-ons. Before we get into the mods let’s see more of that pretty paint:

With only 80k miles on the clock this Z was going to be treated to full suspension using Stillen sway bars, Eibach springs on Tockico 5-way shocks, new tension rods and  adjustable camber kit:

Brake upgrades front and rear courtesy of Stoptech and their Sport Kit:

We also performed timing belt and 60k services on the mighty VG30DETT:


Every Z32TT can benefit from breathing mods so a JWT POP charger kit and Genie Turbo exhaust were installed:


With new suspension and a freshened drivetrain this pretty Z is ready to Enjoy the Ride!





Wheel Swap: Panasports Vs Steelies on the Datsun 2000

Filed under: Featured Cars and Projects
by Alvin G @ 9:16 pm on September 23, 2012


I have been anxious to see what my Panasports would look like on the Sora Blue roadster so on this beautiful Sunday afternoon I did a wheel swap. Stock 14″ steel wheels above with whitewalls or 16×7 Panasports below, what do you like?


The front fender gap is reduced and wheelwell is filled out even more!





Canepa Porsche 911 on ZCG Dyno

Filed under: Featured Cars and Projects
by Alvin G @ 10:30 pm on September 21, 2012

Earlier this week Canepa brought one of their Porsche hot rods to tune on the ZCarGarage dyno. This 1989 911 Speedster is far from stock, in fact it has an engine straight from a 962 race car! Want to know more about this wild creation, just go HERE.


What kind of power does this insane Porsche make? 477hp and 532tq to the wheels!

Check out the oversized intercooler and huge center-lock BBS wheels:

Here is short clip of the Speedster on the dyno, just enough to show you that it doesn’t have the lag of typical 930 turbo 🙂
