Tommy L recently picked up this 2009 GTR and it is the highest mileage R35 we’ve seen at the shop with 72k miles on the odometer! The Solid Red paint is also a welcome change from the ubiquitous silver/grey cars on the road. Tommy came in to have new Stillen AP rotors and Stoptech 309 pads installed:
Stock rotors front and rear:
Ranjan works at Google and owns this beautiful 2004 Daytona Blue Z33 with only 50k on the clock! After giving much thought to buying a newer car he decided to improve his Z instead and came to ZCG for a full Vortech supercharger install. When you believe in the Z great things can happen! The blower is a polished V-3 unit and several supporting mods were installed including Stillen headers, JWT cams, Bassani exhaust, GTM oil cooler, ZCG bypass filter, heat shield and CAI. Here is a before/after of the install:
Just a few shots of the build showing the FMIC and ZCG cold air intake…check the gallery below for more detailed shots of the installation!
The Unichip is mounted on the kick panel and GTM oil cooler location is shown:
JWT cams really wake the motor up and complement boost, check out the difference in cam lobe profiles:
Stillen headers compared to the stock unit and the popular Bassani exhaust are installed:
JWT Clutch and flywheel go in for peace of mind and performance with the supercharged engine:
Boost is good. The dyno reveals significant gains as revs increase with 155hp/88tq over stock for a grand total of 402hp/329tq at the wheels!
With all of this new found power Ranjan soon realized that the Z was not balanced anymore :0 It needed some brakes. Stoptech to the rescue with their 332mm BBK up front and Sport kit in back:
With brakes to match the increase in power we think Ranjan will enjoy owning and driving his Z even more 🙂
You can see more detailed pictures in the gallery below, enjoy.
Atila B. started out as the proud owner of a 2003 Lemans Sunset Z33. Although he loved the Z he eventually stepped up to a 2009 GT-R and enjoyed taking that R35 to open track events for about 2 years. When the press announced that Nissan was coming out with an even more powerful, upgraded GT-R, Atila waited patiently and ordered this stunning silver 2013 beast you see before you!
This GT-R will not be relegated to car shows and cruising, Atila wants to take it to the track so ZCG prepped and upgraded the braking system. New rotors, brake pads, stainless flex lines and Motul brake fluid were installed:
The GT-R can now be happy in its native habitat…tearing up the apexes and straights at a Northern California racetrack near you!
