V8 Time: LSx owners running ZCG CV axles!

We love to hear from customers using our products. In addition to ZCG customer project cars running our CVs, many do-it-yourself owners are installing these parts on their own cars worldwide. Here are four, GM LSx powered Z-cars all running ZCG CV axles. Johnston S out of North Carolina installed ZCG CV axles on his 1974 260z running a turbocharged LS1:

 

See more of his build on Instagram.

Tyler F. hails from Washington and he sent us these pictures of his LS-powered S30 project getting ZCG CV Axles:

 

We were happy to hear that Tyler successfully installed his CVs:

“Rob, I was able to install the new axles you shipped, and I wanted to say thank you. The fitment was perfect, and really easy to install, and I appreciate the extras you threw in. Im so excited to have my beast out on the roads again! Cheers, Tyler”

 

Mike T. from Georgia installed our CVs on his ’78 LS1-powered 280z:

 

Our customer Gary R also received ZCG CV axles on his LS3-powered 280Z. Full report on this beauty soon!

The video below demonstrates the “looseness” associated with aftermarket CV axles that use adapters compared to the ZCG axles without adapters. Several customer race/street cars running our CV axles are also shown. Enjoy!

Mo M comes out of Capitola, CA and he is a car enthusiast with a show-winning Toyota MR2 that he built last year. His next project is this NA 300zx with a planned V8 engine swap (LS3). Before the Z receives the new drivetrain, Mo wanted to make sure it could handle the power.

We went through the entire car with Mo and installed his suspension parts including full Powertrix coil-over suspension, f/r camber arms, new T/C rods and sway bars:

One of the things plaguing Mo was that he had several general repair shops work on the car. They replaced the clutch and flywheel assembly but he was getting a persistent grinding upon startup. We replaced the starter, installed a JWT aluminum flywheel and clutch.  We also fixed brake master cylinder.

Now Mo is super pumped about the car’s handling and brakes. The next set of mods include a nice set of SSR Professor MS3 wheels and big brakes to handle the power of that mighty LS3 engine that’s coming soon!
