Default Z1Motorsports Launches NISMO 350Z SpecZ Racecar


The Z1 Motorsports Nismo 350 Spec Z racecar is official!
Z1 has contemplated the idea of a race team for some time and low and behold an opportunity presented itself. A Nismo 350z found its way into our hands. Between the performance builds, designing and developing new products, and shipping mass amounts of parts around the world, Z1 dove head first into this project. The Z1 Team took charge and implemented their knowledge into the nismo building a powerful, reliable Zcar meeting race specs. The car was complete a week before the first race with very little time to test and tune. The hard work put in by the team members including: Dustin McGehee, Kyle Klessig, Al Cruickshank, Rod Summers, Clayton Farmer, and tuning by Jon Parham payed off. Z1's efforts along with driving by Joe Ippolito gave us a WIN our first time out at Road Atlanta!









Z1 parts are tested under race conditions to meet expectations on the street! Our Z1 370z shown in the picture below describes our dedication to developing and testing our products for consumer performance needs.





Stay tuned for more info on our upcoming SpecZ races and follow us on Facebook!

Very nice! I only have Z1 spacers but dealing with Z1 is a great experience. Great prices, great parts, and top notch customer service.

Congrats on the win!

Most Spec Zs running the RPF1 use 18x9 ET35 in front, 18x10 ET 38 in the rear with 20MM spacers all around.

The rears fit fine, the fronts are tight on the fenders with stock upper A-Arms, but it works fine now that we can run some camber.
