Race car driver, restorer and Datsun Historian Glenn Chiou has just listed his IMSA GTU 260z race car on Bring a Trailer. The Z features our ZCG CV Axles and dyno tuning. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully-restored, competitive vintage race car, so spread the word and bid with confidence!

 

    

We have been fortunate to race alongside Glenn and the Different Drummer Racing 260Z at several high-profile events. See it in action in our race reports from  the Velocity Invitational at Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca.
