Rich R is long time customer and loves to run with the Lockheed-Martin autocross group. He wanted stiffer ride without compromising ride height or going to full coil-overs. We installed Koni dampers with NISMO coil springs.


Enjoy the Ride Rich!

The ZONC All-Nissan show on Saturday was great fun for all. We caravanned up from the shop 8-cars strong with the ZCG 2000, my 67.5 SPL, Gary’s 280z, Linda’s 280z, Matt D’s 510 wagon, Josh’s APS 350z, Tom D’s APS G35, and Bill’s 350z:

Weather in Brisbane was perfect with a view that’s hard to beat. Mike B (silver ‘67.5 SPL) and Kurt (’70 SPL) also showed their roadsters:

Some highlights of the show: not to brag but Gary’s R’s 280z is incredible! We will have a full report for you soon, here are a few pics to enjoy:

Gary’s Z won 1st place in class! People were impressed with the engine bay and interior:

Great turnout of really clean stock and modified Z32s:


Joe K and Kevin N’s 300s are always stunning, check out their engine bays:

Our roadster friend Francis, won 1st Place for his Datsun 510. We love the paint on this Dime!

ZCG caravan members took home more awards…Josh won 2nd Place with his APS TT 350z and the father-son duo of Tom and Matt D took 1st/2nd place, respectively!

Datsun Roadsters Rule!!!  Mike B won 1st Place with his ultra-sharp ‘67.5 SPL and Best of Show went to Rob and the ZCG 2000!

Mark’s 350z

Mark G came to ZCG to have his NISMO Z33 wheels re-finished, T/C bushings replaced and get an UPREV tune. Since his Z was a base model it didn’t have the fancy multi-function steering wheel…UPREV tuning maps can be selected via the steering wheel mounted buttons so we did a complete gauge cluster/steering wheel swap.  The clutch switch was also replaced for the cruise control “cancel” button:

On the dyno, Rob’s UPREV tuning yielded +10hp/10tq  for a total of 270hp/253tq to the wheels. Check out the significant gains from mid-range to redline:
