This gorgeous LeMans Sunset 350z has been with ZCarGarage for a few years now. Owner Steve B. came to ZCG in 2010 for a full Vortech Supercharger kit install with 43k miles on the odometer. Since then he enjoyed the boost in power and participated in numerous track days. This Z gets driven hard! Forced induction is addictive and like many others Steve desired more power, ZCG to the rescue…
…The Vortech V3 kit was treated to a new 3.12 pulley and the engine got a host of go-fast goodies including a set of JWT S1 cams, UpRev MAF GT Sensor, RC Engineering 550cc Injectors, 3.5″ custom cold-air intake, Motordyne MREV2 Lower Plenum + Spacer, Unorthodox Racing Pulleys, DC Sports Ceramic Headers and a Bassani cat-back exhaust.
With all of the parts installed it was time to dyno tune. Rob’s UpRev tuning yielded impressive gains of 72hp and 40tq at the wheels for a final output of 436hp/359tq! Power delivery is also improved with hp/tq climbing steadily throughout the rev range:
Steve’s drivetrain and suspension also got some love to keep up with all those track days:
Drivetrain:
Quaife LSD
NISMO Differential Cover
Injected Performance Differential Brace
Energy Suspension differential bushings
IPP Chromoly Clutch Pivot Ball
Suspension:
Tokico D-Spec Shocks/Struts
Tokico 375lbs Springs
Stoptech Stage 2 Rotors, Pads, and Lines
Hotchkis Front and Rear Swaybars
Kinetix front camber arms
SPL rear camber arms
SPL Eccentric Lockout kit
Energy Suspension bushings
That killer stance is accentuated by some beefy Enkei 18×9.5 and 18×10.5 (+15) wheels with 275/295 tires. Subtle bodywork mods include a Top Secret Carbon Fiber Splitter and rear spoiler; I love how uncluttered and simple this Z looks! Steve gets all the credit for doing his own interior mods like the MOMO Millenium Evo steering wheel and full stereo/speaker upgrades.
Look for Steve out on the track, but you might have trouble catching this 436whp LeMans Sunset Zed!
