Z Car Garage Big-Brakes for Mike’s 1972 Datsun 240Z

We love to see clients installing our Z Car Garage Big-Brakes on their Z Cars! This is Mike’s 1972 240Z with original matching L24. It was bone-stock and sitting for 16 years outside until he rescued it year and a half ago. Mike is a professional automotive paint technician and this Z will be restored with correct 115 metallic blue paint.

 

Client’s often ask if their wheel will clear the ZCG Big-Brakes and we offer a a caliper template to help with fitment. Sometimes it’s best to physically test fit the actual wheel desired. Mike sent us a pretty rad Star Shark wheel from Washington and we confirmed clearance of the Big-brakes:

 “I chose the Colin Project Star shark wheel 14×8-13 for some JDM nostalgia, the look, and a bit more aggressive stance. They are wrapped in BF Goodrich 225/60r14 tires. I very much wanted to upgrade the brakes with the Z Car Garage Big-Brake Kit after seeing Larry Chen’s Ole Orange Bang done by Rob and ZCG team. Sent Rob a wheel for an accurate verification of fitment, and Huzzah!! They Fit! Very, very excited about this. You can’t just put any brake kit on this car. This is a kit that you can have confidence in because the research and development has been done.”

 
We are really stoked to see Mike’s restoration progress. Thanks for your support Mike and Long Live The Z!  You can see more information on our Z Car Garage Big-Brakes and see a list of clients (over 100!) using them on our blog.
