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:

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!

 

Z Car Garage will be closed November 7 and 8 as we will be at the SEMA show. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for real-time updates!

Leo P came to Z Car Garage to have AAM (R-line) intakes installed on his 2013 370z.  The Z made good power with intakes and tuning but Leo reported the Z was running roughly a few days later. Here are the baseline+initial tune dyno runs:

 

Rob suggested running Stillen Gen3 intakes and predicted greater power gains with a tune over the AAM setup. Leo’s 370z now makes 318hp/260tq to the wheels, a significant improvement over the AAM setup indeed!
