That is what the license plate reads on this 240z that belongs to Mark and Michelle G. Although the Z may have ate money it has been loved and fully supported by the family for about 10years. The Z is at ZCarGarage getting a full mechanical restoration before going to Williams Auto Body for body/paint. It is being built for the street with occasional track use, so brakes and suspension had to be upgraded. ZCG installed a full Arizona Z Car suspension from front to rear including robust control arms, sway bars, and bushings. The entire underbody was also prepped and undercoated:
The 200rwhp L31 engine features triple Mikuni 44 carbs, a rare Clifford 6-2 exhaust header, and a ZCG triple-carb heat shield. The stock transmission was replaced with a 240sx gearbox with a JWT flywheel and heavy duty clutch. In back an R200 LSD diff along with a Porsche 930 CV conversion round out the drivetrain modifications:
The rear portion of the exhaust was made to be removeable making adjustments/work easier:
The Z featured Porsche 993 Twin-Turbo calipers at all four-corners and though it is an incredible braking system it needed some work/proportioning so ZCG did some fine tuning.
Soon these gorgeous brakes will be encased by shiny new custom made 17″ Panasport C8 wheels!
Finally, a nice touch that is both functional and good-looking are some new pedals. Let the Heel/Toe boogie begin!
Stay tuned for more updates after the Z comes back from Williams with fresh body and paint!
