I wanted to feature Scott S’s ’94 Z32TT on the blog for a long time now,  but it’s just one of those cars that is hard to do justice with only a few words and pictures.  I have known Scott for many years and his Z always struck me as one of the cleanest, sexiest, most powerful 300s I have seen or had the pleasure to ride in.
Scott met Rob back in 2002 when he brought his 140k-mile ’90 Z32TT for some work. They decided that another platform would be better for modifying which led to the purchase of the ’94, bone stock with only 49k miles. More on the mods later, here’s what catches the eye  at first sight of JRZY ZTT(Scott is a Jersey native):

Slick black paint that seems to catch every reflection, and tasteful bodywork upgrades like the J-spec front facia, rear tail lights, early spoiler, and William’s trademark vented hood all subtly accentuate Nissan’s timeless design.  Scott has been known to collect/hoard wheels and tires and this Z has been through it’s share of shoes including: a set of R34 GT-Rs,  MINT staggered Volk SF Challenges, SSR Comps, and currently sports some very tasty Z33 NISMO Z wheels:


The interior has got to be the cleanest I have ever sat in…keep in mind this is a 18 year-old car!
A custom rear roll bar with integrated harness bar(now modified with door bars and NHRA-legal), Z33 seats and DEFI-link gauge system complement an otherwise stock cabin.
Scott has taken the Z to many car shows and placed well, though it was really built to enjoy the ride on the track whether it be drag strip, auto-x, or road course duty.  We would frequently see Scott attending shows and track days in the same weekend with his custom hitch/tow rack for race wheels/tires. Two-door sports cars can be practical! Below, Scott is at the largest Z-car gathering “ZCON”  in Texas and also arriving at Thunderhill Raceway for the All-Datsun Meet at Mt. Shasta:
At the heart of the Z is Nissan’s mighty VG30DETT, and it has been modified to different levels over the years.  It started with Sport 500 turbos and made 489rwhp/525rwtq, but failed on the track at Thunderhill. In its current form it is running a SpecialtyZ 3.1L engine with Sport 700s… …and a host of supporting mods:

• ZCarGarage Custom 3″ Divorced Wastegate Pipes
• JWT 500 Cams
• JWT Dual POP
• Stillen Intercoolers
• SZ 3″ Exhaust Turbo-Back
• Nismo 740cc Injectors
• MSP Manifolds
• Race Clutch and Alum. flywheel
• 4.10 gears

Seb tuned the Z to an insane 658hp/586tq at the wheels, you can see the dyno graphs here: SpecialtyZ
Scott dyno’d the Z at a ZCG Dyno Day and made 543rwhp on 91 octane:

What it looks like from inside:

A Stoptech BBK up front(332mm) provides braking power and suspension for track duty consists of Stillen sway bars, Tokico 5-ways, Powertrix: T/C rods and upper/lower links, and CCW Race wheels.

Scott is a phenomenal driver and though he is much faster around the track in his Z33s, he has accomplished the following with the Z32:
1:47 at Laguna at 15psi
2:10 at Thunderhil
2:10 at Buttonwillow
1:46 at Willow Springs
11.2 1/4mile at 132mph at 18psi: Z now has door bars so 10’s here we come!
Speaking of the drag strip, I can’t count how many times we have seen Scott at Sears Point or Sac Raceway on M/T slicks making jaws drop…that Nissan just ran 11’s?!

Here is a winning pass at Sears point:

The Z has been retired from track days as Scott is much faster and focused on competing with his Race Z33, but he still enjoys the ride in his JRZY ZTT. More pics in the gallery after the videos, enjoy!
