Thanks to Randy and the crew at Bring a Trailer for the support and sharing their Z car experience with the world. After it was all over, we woke up early Sunday morning in Ensenada and drove 600 miles straight back to San Francisco!” Prior to the event he outfitted the car with his custom in-house developed Z brake kit which provided excellent stopping power and near-perfect pedal feel. “Big thanks to Rob Fuller and his team at Z Car Garage for preparing our 1972 Datsun 240Z which ran flawlessly the entire time at sustained high RPMs and in hot weather. We were stoked to hear how well the Z and the Big-Brake kit performed on the Targa Baja California rallye in October: Randy’s Z now has a fully functioning parking brake:īefore leaving the shop we replaced a failed u-joint in the driveshaft and balanced it.

The Z had a weird hydraulic parking brake and this was removed so we could install the factory brake lever setup. The proportioning valve that was required for the old Wilwood kit was removed: ZCG Brakes do NOT require a proportioning valve!īig-Brakes at the rear as well. Randy brought the Z to the shop and we removed the existing Wilwood setup: All fitting behind a 14″ Watanabe or Panasport wheel! A few details below:Ĭalipers: Stoptech ST42 4-piston front & rear race calipers (Alum 6061 mil-spec Type III anodized)īlog posts documenting all of our customers running the ZCG Big-Brakes can be found HERE. This is a direct result of working with Stoptech to create a totally bolt-in solution requiring no M/C change or additional proportioning valve/adjustments. The plan was to install and run our ZCG Big-Brake kit for the Targa Baja California rallye coming in October.Īs fellow S30 owner/racer Glenn C mentioned in his review, on top of braking performance, pedal feel is extremely important and our Big-Brakes deliver. Randy and the crew discussed using ZCG products on their Z as it had an older Wilwood brake kit. In September we met BaT at the Porsche Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca. With the Z sorted, Randy and his father drove it on yet another rallye in July, the Faultine 500. Hard to beat these beautiful mirrors on the S30, more pics in the gallery! Our man William took care of the 112 paint.
Removal of the black plastic mirrors and installing OEM units required minor bodywork. On this visit we tackled the installation of factory Nissan mirrors: We swapped out the air dam for a factory valance and installed the stock steering wheel, but we didn’t have time to replace the dated black mirrors. A/C wiring and power switch corrected + system re-charged (performed in-house)īack in April, Randy and Rob both agreed on returning the Z back to its original aesthetics before the epic road trip.
We removed it and installed a really nice 280z 5-speed transmission.Ī few more items needing attention that we sorted: At the shop we confirmed the mainshaft nut had backed off (very common on early 5-speeds) creating situation where all the gears become misaligned. Despite losing 5th gear in Nashville, Randy was able to cross the finish line at Road Atlanta using 4th. Along the way, the Z would visit “BaT Alumni” and fans for interviews to share their automotive stories. We were stoked to see the Z made it all the way to Road Atlanta!īaT’s entire Mitty road trip is wonderfully documented in several installments HERE, enjoy this video too:Īfter the 4000+ mile road trip the BaT Z came back to us for sorting and a refresh. The journey to The Mitty was more than a destination where Datsun was the featured marque. If you missed the introduction to this Z please visit our initial blog post HERE.īefore we get into the Big-Brake kit details, let’s catch up with the BaT 240z since it left our shop heading to Road Atlanta in April. The Z’s first duty was to serve as photo/chase car participating in the Copperstate 1000 rallye in Tempe, AZ:
We found and prepped this car for BaT Co-Founder and CEO Randy Nonnenberg just in time for an epic road trip to The Mitty. The Bring a Trailer Datsun 240z recently visited us for a ZCG Big-Brake kit installation after an eventful driving season. We are happy to see more Z car owners enjoying innovative products from Z Car Garage.
