The Championship-winning 1988 Nissan GTP ZX-Turbo is at Z Car Garage. This iconic race car was driven by Geoff Brabham and John Morton, known for de-throning the Porsche 962 in IMSA racing with 8 straight wins. Enjoy the photos of chassis #8801 with a full feature coming soon to zcarblog.com!

 

Thanks to Dean Case and Greg Nelson of Nissan Motorsports for the opportunity to have this legend here at Z Car Garage.

 

It’s surreal to see the car that has been a poster on our wall actually inside the shop. Rob had to get out his R/C car and another poster from the front office:

 

Enjoy this video highlighting the epic 1988 IMSA season with Morton and Brabahm in the GTP ZX-T:

Cool Nissan GTP ZX Race Car Commercial

I found this while scanning around on YouTube today.  I absolutely love the IMSA GTP series and especially the Nissan #83 and #84 cars.  If you have an extra $650K burning a hole in your pocket I can point you in the direction of one of the most rare #83 cars that happens to be for sale.  The engine in these cars was based on the Z31 and Z32 300ZX engines so yes this video is relevant here on ZCarBlog.  Hahaha.

Side note:  I’m actually named after Elliot Forbes-Robinson (EFR) who raced for Nissan in these GTP monsters.  Kinda cool.  ENJOY!!!
