Welcome Home Chuck!!

Filed under: 350z,Featured Cars and Projects,Performance
by Forbes @ 11:39 am on November 20, 2009

On behalf of Z Car Garage and all of it’s staff I would like to welcome home our good friend and Z owner Chuck G.  He has been in Afghanistan for quite some time now and we are happy to report that he has returned safely.  We have been storing and working on his car while he was overseas and we can’t wait to get it back into his hands.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with his project here are the basics:

  • 3.8L Stroked VQ35
  • GReddy Twin Turbo kit
  • Fully built and upgraded automatic transmission (peppermint lattes!!)
  • Upgraded axles
  • Rotora Big Brake Kit
  • VOLK Racing SF Challenge Wheels

Click on the three links below to follow the previous stages of his build.  The car currently makes 500whp and 500wtq through the auto tranny on only its base tune.  Now that Chuck is back the tuning will be finalized and he will be free to destroy as many tires as he pleases.

Again, welcome home friend.




Words Fail… Behemoth

This car has the perfect stance.  The intention is to set the final ride height here.  Wicked, what else is there to say?

Now all of the hidden work begins…




Behemoth Teaser… Suspension Mock Up!!!

by Forbes @ 11:25 pm on October 28, 2009

I know that some of you are super eager to see some major progress on this huge project so here is another “carrot in front of the donkey” to keep you interested and coming back for more.  Here are the first photos of the newly powder coated and anodized suspension parts going on the car for mock-up.  We also threw one of the brakes on just to give you an idea of what they will look like, 12.9″ brakes on a Z are ridiculous, and amazing.

Two of the ZCG Big Brake Kit posts can be found HERE and HERE

I MIGHT have a couple more shots for you before the week is over of the car on the ground, that’s right, it will be a roller.  Holy Crap.  keep bringing it back here for your Z-car fix.

I’m tired.  Good night all.
