If you've spent the last 15 years specializing in 300ZX performance would be fair to assume that the ability to go too fast and that is certainly the case with the only Autosports 300ZX. This car is in a constant state of development for several years with UAS that use it not only as a time attack race, but also as a development and testing environment for Nissan racing products they manufacture and sell in all over the world from its base in Seven Hills, Sydney Australia.
This car first appeared in the early Superlap Oran Park in 2008 in the hands of "Mr Time Attack" Boston and John was again revised in 2009, again with Mr. Boston driving before they took the decision to "next level "and taking the car was stripped shell to use the weapon you have for you.
First of all I had was not removed and if necessary, will be re-created carbon fiber in a concentrated effort to gain weight under 1200kg mark. The big heavy VG30 was also removed and replaced by a much more modern and lighter aluminum block VQ30 engine was dry sumped and was then much lower in the chassis.
The engine room is truly a work of art with a great pair Garrett turbos mounted behind GCG 6 collectors pulse with a few Turbo Comp-Mart Gates.

The engine was not the only place to get much attention, either with aerodynamics also under the microscope and Unique Autosports team were lucky to engineering students UTS Sydney have - Nik Danielson get some work experience with them and he was able to CFD analysis work in the car to perform for them using a program called SolidWorks. See examples of this program in action. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3.
The car uses a box of PPG straight cut dog and many parts have been renovated from top level racing cars, including older style calipers V8 Supercar race AP that can be purchased for a reasonable price and a revised very viable alternative.
Much of the suspension is handmade home by the UAS team to the application and a set of higher level adjust Bilstein coil through a well-ordered collection of powerful finish. The 300ZX still has a loyal following in the world and the only question Autosport team will be under the flag high for fans 300ZX in August in what is perhaps the fastest in Australia and probably the world, 300ZX attack time!.
