Z Car Garage Gets a Shop 370z!!!!

Filed under: 370z,Featured Cars and Projects,ZCG 370z
by Forbes @ 11:51 am on March 29, 2009

We all knew it was bound to happen and I’m happy to announce that as of last Thursday Z Car Garage has an official ZCG 370z.  The car is going to be used as a platform to show everything we offer for the latest Nissan Z.  We will be bringing the car to all upcoming Z events and as many other shows as we can get to, and don’t think for a minute that we aren’t going to put the hammer down on the track!!

We decided on “Solid Red” to make the car stand out in the sea of bland colored vehicles and to let everyone know as soon as they see it that THIS IS THE ZCG 370z.  As you can see from the photos we can’t ever leave a car alone.  Our crew immediately added a set of stock R35 GT-R wheels to our car to set it apart from all the others while we wait on building a custom set of wheels.  We have so many amazing plans for this car and we can’t wait to share it with all of you!  Can you tell that I’m excited!?

ZCG took control of the car with 150 miles on the odometer and it is close to 350mi already, and yes we have already had the car on our dyno.  The car will be dyno’d every few hundred miles so that we can monitor how the engine is loosening up.  You can see the attached dyno sheet for the for the power curves but we are happy with the base numbers of 272 rwhp and and 233 rwtq.  I realize that the car isn’t broken in yet but it was good to get some super early baseline numbers to see what we are working with from the factory.

We have plans to offer the 370z community ZCG exclusive modifications and performance parts in the near future and are really excited to begin work on this new project.  More updates will be here at ZCarBlog as they happen!

There are more photos after the ‘read more.’  Enjoy!

I was given a disc with some unknown ZCG pictures over the weekend so I figured I would give them a look today.  Lo and behold (yes that is the correct spelling of ‘Lo’) there were never before seen Follow the 370z Tour photos that were taken here at Z Car Garage on the CD.  Below are a few photos that I have chosen to share with the masses.  I hope you enjoy them.

Video: 370z Demo Rides Given to S.I. Models

Filed under: 370z
by Forbes @ 12:17 pm on March 2, 2009

While this video is entertaining, I really would have preferred more driving and less model camera time.  The driving is well done and it really shows how controllable stock 370Zs are. Just imagine how great these cars will be once we start upgrading the suspension, brakes, and NA (normally aspirated) power levels, can you say track-day killer?

I’m sure that there will be issues once the new cars start to see lots of track time but that is where we, Z Car Garage, come in.  Any mods that we make to a 370z will be posted here as they happen so please check back soon.

Give me some feedback if you like or dislike the clip.  It sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays….

I’ve put two new cars up on the ‘For Sale’ page to help any of you in-need of a Z.  Now is a great time to look into a new (to you anyway) Z or G car  because driving season, and summer, are just around the corner.  Give them a  look!

Updated ‘For Sale’ Page with ZCG G35 Twin Turbo

I have posted the ZCG G35 twin turbo in the For Sale section of the blog.  We are sad to see it go, but it is time to share the ZCG wealth with all of you.  We hope it goes to a great home.

I should also have a super clean 350z convertible up in the for sale section sometime tomorrow (Thurs.) so check back near the end of the day.
