Larry: I’m so stoked to host Type-S Night Lights with Sung Kang. I called him up the other day and suggested we gather a few 240z’s for a little cruise to shoot a quick promo for the upcoming meet. We stopped for food and we ended up clearing out the entire kitchen at Inn n out 😂🤣 If you are free on April 9th come hang out with us at Night Lights in Long Beach. You won’t be disappointed. Plus we will have night drifting for the first time and Sung will be showing the first 7 minutes of the Drifter Movie🍿. We will also be doing a Q&A session. It starts at 6pm and the address is 99 Aquarium Way, Long Beach California. All cars are welcomed. It’s free to enter for a show car or spectator. There’s plenty of parking for non- show cars or overflow across the street at The Pike.
You might recall the previous form of this car, “DocZ” that was a metallic red with throwback S30 wheels:
Larry Chen was commissioned by GQ magazine to do a photoshoot Sung and and some cool cars, including the “78” car. See more shots from the photoshoot on Larry’s Instagram.
We are excited to sponsor and be a part of the 2023 Japanese Classic Car Show in Long Beach, Ca on October 7. In just under two weeks, the JCCS returns to Marina Green Park with hundreds of cool vintage Japanese cars to enjoy. Z Car Garage will have a vendor booth with all of our parts on display. Please stop by and say hello, we would love to answer your questions and talk about Z cars. Read below for a preview…
The Z Car Garage booth will have the following parts on display for you to see, touch and inquire: Our Z Car Garage Big-Brakes (Stoptech), ZCG CV Axles, ZCG Heat Shield and Z Car Garage KW Coil-over suspension. The ZCG Big-Brakes are now officially no longer on back order. We are ready to take orders!
Z Car Garage Displays Two Cars at JCCS!
On display in our booth for this first time is our #49 Joel Anderson IMSA GTU Datsun 240Z. This is a vintage race car that was built and raced in period by the late Joel Anderson. Z Car Garage restored this Z back to its original livery in 2014, and Rob Fuller now actively races it. Learn more about this special car HERE.
Also on display in our booth will be Sung Kang’s FuguZ. Sung visited Z Car Garage back in 2021, driving “Mrs. Butters”, our 1971 Series 1 240z shop demo car. After driving Butters, Sung wanted the exact same Z Car Garage Big-Brakes (for small wheels), Z Car Garage CV Axles and KW suspension on his very own RB26DETT-powered FuguZ!
The show takes place from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm in Marina Green Park, and it is the epitome of all J-Tin shows! Catch a glimpse of what JCCS is all about in our previous Japanese Classic Car Show reports. We will also have and some ZCG swag for you to pick up. Come by, say hello and long live the Z!
Today we received a surprise package from Sung Kang at Z Car Garage. Inside was the limited-edition FUGUZ Steering Wheel along with some very cool gear:
The steering wheel is 1 of 73 pieces, comes with its own briefcase and engraved quick-release adapters. How amaZing is it that Sung gave us steering wheel #49!!! Naturally we had to take a photo with a very happy Rob Fuller next to the #49 Joel Anderson IMSA GTU Datsun 240Z:
Thank you Sung for this incredible gesture. We admire your Z car passion and efforts to help the car community thrive. Long Live The Z!
