That’s right friends! The long awaited ZCG 240z Big Brake Kits have started rolling in from our manufacturer. This kit has been over a year in the making and it is amazing to see them finally come into the shop as a finished product, we are extremely proud.
From the pictures below you can see that the black caliper kits were the first to arrive, we are expecting the rest of the black and red kits to be in house within the next couple of weeks. What this means though is that we can finally get a couple of the RB project cars off of the dolleys and onto the ground with some sort of real suspension beneath them, exciting right?!?
The nice thing about the kits themselves, besides being the best brakes ever offered for a 240z, is that everything needed to for the complete kit comes in two boxes! Even we don’t have to go searching for special parts, we designed it to be a one shot deal.
As soon as the kit start making their way onto customer’s cars I will have more photos as well as the reactions of the new owners, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime if you need to catch up on the past brake kit posts just click HERE.

Curtis has lifted the RSVP requirements for the trip from Sacramento to Truckee so that anyone who wants can attend this event. Please check out the flyer again for all the contact information if you are interested. Thanks
I’m not quite sure how I missed this news in the automotive blog universe but it seems that Nissan has plans to release a special Nurburgring edition 370z to commemorate the entrance of a 370z in the 24hrs of Nurburgring in May. So far the car is only set to be released in Germany and only 80 are going to produced.
The only real differences from a standard 370z will be special “Premium Ultimate Yellow” paint, special decals (Nür Spec?), slightly wider tires, and an exhaust system change that should result in more beautiful Nissan sounds. No other mechanical changes have been announced at this time to indicate any improvement in performance which is why I think this special edition isn’t so special.
I haven’t found any photos of the finished car yet but the expected price with current exchange rates is going to be around $72,000. Why not just by two 370Zs right?
The time has come to turn up the heat and get these projects out the door and into the hands of the owners. Fred has been chomping at the bit to install the engine into this Z32 after he finished the final assembly last month, and last week he got the green light.
The car has lots of trick modifications, like the custom diffuser, so make sure to take a look at each of the photos. Ken at Roost Billet Products was also able to make custom GTZ hold-downs for the coil packs that are required for the unique stand-alone ECU that this car runs, a subtle but nice detail.
We will be up and running sometime this week I hope and we can’t wait to break it in and then get to tuning on the dyno. This car was making some crazy numbers on the old engine so we are all anxious to see what it will put out now.
I figured that since we will be taking the ZCG 370z back to the track in the next couple of weeks I should finally post up the second video that Scott filmed in his track 350z. I hope that this will hype some of you up to join us on the track in the near future.
Don’t forget that ZCG can prepare your car for your next track event!
