The folks at HJCG are hosting a pre-1986 vintage Japanese car gathering on 7/1/12 in San Leandro, CA. The organizers are also trying to bring all Skyline owners to the show so this should be the first, if not the largest group of Hakosukas in one place!

Last year we helped Randy M finish restoring his ultra nice 240z and we are pleased to report that the Z was featured in the July 2012 issue of Classic Motorsports Magazine.
That’s Randy in the driver’s seat. Congratulations!

Lora and her husband Chris are motorsports fans. Chris has a dedicated rock/crawler and Lora loves her Z33. Since she enjoys trackdays and twisty roads her husband gave her the gift of boost: a Turbonetics single turbo kit! ZCG installed the kit and added a GTM oil cooler plus a few other goodies.
Before boost and after boost!
JWT clutch/flywheel, old exhaust system, and modified exhaust with new NISMO muffler.
Below you can see more details of the kit including turbo placement, exhaust crossover pipe, FMIC, and intake routing:
At just over 7lbs boost Lora’s Z made 376hp/390tq to the wheels!
We can’t think of a better gift to give your loved one, especially if they are like Lora and love to Enjoy to the Ride!

Nick K is a really enthusiastic guy and had no problem with driving all the way from Sacramento to have is G35 tuned at ZCG. He installed almost every bolt-on you can throw at a G all by himself, but he felt that it still needed more power. The high-mileage car produced 245hp/220tq at the wheels with all of the mods Nick installed:
With Rob’s UPREV tuning the G picked up 17hp/20tq with much smoother power delivery!

Since its introduction we have been impressed with how well the 370z’s VQ37 responds to simple bolt-on modifications. Steven L’s Solid Red Z34 made some great power gains with intakes, exhaust, pulleys and an UPREV tune from Rob.
Shown above are the Stillen Gen 3 dual intakes, Stillen exhaust system and pulleys.
Before/after with the Stillen exhaust system.
Stillen intakes before/after. We dyno’d the car before the mods, after and also with the tuning…
With just the bolt-ons Steven’s Z picked up 23hp/9tq to the wheels with gains throughout the entire rev range. Icing on the cake: Rob’s UPREV tuning squeezed even more hp/tq for a grand total of 315hp/251tq!
