Greg S came to Z Car Garage for some bolt-ons on his HR-powered 350z.  We installed JWT dual pop chargers and a Bassani cat-back exhaust:

Let’s take a look at what the bolt-ons do on the dyno. Starting with a baseline of 253hp/223tq the JWT intakes alone slightly increase peak hp/tq, with significant mid and upper rev range gains:

Adding the Bassani exhaust yielded greater gains throughout the rev range, netting +8hp/6tq over baseline:

An UPREV tune further optimizes these bolt-ons. Look at the huge low to mid-range gains of over 20hp/20tq! Peak numbers are 264hp/246tw to the wheels, a +11hp/23tq improvement over baseline with more power everywhere!

Enjoy the newfound power and sound Greg!

Datsuns Are Driven! On Saturday I joined two roadster friends and we made a quick run up Hwy 9.  We began our fun run 3-cars wide on Hwy 85 enjoying some early spring-like weather:

Once we got through downtown Saratoga we twisted our way up 9 just past Skyline to a vista point:

Here is a short video of me chasing Raul in his 1967.5 1600:

 

 

People love the roadsters. Folks were quick to snap pictures and ask questions.

A couple came up to us with a Polaroid they had just taken. These cars really stir the soul!

Raul pointed out how the cars show three levels of restoration. Mike’s gorgeous silver 1967.5 SPL is an unmodified factory stock example with whitewalls and OEM interior. Raul’s white 1967.5 SPL is a total sleeper with a 2L power plant/5-speed and upgraded suspension. Finally, my black 1967.5 SPL is considerably modified with a full SR drivetrain, suspension and custom interior.
