Some of you may remember this amazing Nissan commercial that started the “Enjoy the Ride” campaign. Here is a high-resolution version on Vimeo. It still gives me goosebumps to watch… http://vimeo.com/41519940

Interested in a fun cruise through beautiful backroads in March? ZONC fun runs are great and we have enjoyed running them many times. You can find more details on the official Cruise Flyer and also on the ZONC homepage.
You might remember Nissan enthusiasts Dana and Thaad N and their ZCG-modified G35 and FX45. Dana has been spreading the word about us and her co-worker Brandon M wanted similar suspension upgrades to his own G35:
.
We installed Tokico D-spec shocks with Eibach springs and SPC camber kits
The new suspension provides a very subtle drop:
Now Brandon too can Enjoy the Ride. Stay tuned as he will be back to ZCG for more upgrades. Thanks for spreading the word Dana!

Congratulations to Scott Smith for winning the SPEC Z racing series with the GreenZ!
After earning his SCCA license Scott started competing in the SPEC Z series with his silver race car and eventually prepared the GreenZ to finish the season. Scott had a small team consisting of himself and his sidekicks Al and J. You could catch these three practicing at open track days like Thunderhill or Laguna Seca trying to dial the car in and find weak spots(see wheel bearing failure below!).
Here’s a video clip from a SPECZ race at Thunderhill:
Scott would like to thank Z Car Garage, William’s, CityTech, Evil Genius, NISMO and BFG. Great driving Scott, we are proud of you!
