Leo P came to Z Car Garage to have AAM (R-line) intakes installed on his 2013 370z.  The Z made good power with intakes and tuning but Leo reported the Z was running roughly a few days later. Here are the baseline+initial tune dyno runs:

 

Rob suggested running Stillen Gen3 intakes and predicted greater power gains with a tune over the AAM setup. Leo’s 370z now makes 318hp/260tq to the wheels, a significant improvement over the AAM setup indeed!

 

 

It really makes our day when a customer is satisfied with the work we perform on their car. Danny K came to Z Car Garage a few months back to sort out his Vortech supercharged G35 Coupe. It was not running well so we diagnosed a few problems and UPREV tuned it. Here is Danny’s impression…

“Rob Fuller and his team are the BEST in the game. His team is so passionate in what they do. I am going to be honest, I should have came to this shop to begin with. I had my car modified with a Vortech Supercharger, fuel injectors and fuel pump. After the install I also had another shop tune my car with Uprev. It did not run well at all. Mind you,  I have been driving it for 9 months before bringing it to Rob’s team. I asked him to tune my car and naturally he agreed to it.  It took Rob’s team to figure out what was wrong in minutes.  He rearranged his schedule to accommodate the correction. I have to admit, Rob and his team are the best mechanics in NorCal. You guys are probably reading, why I didn’t go to them first, well they are 3 hours from where I live and there isn’t a moment I regretted going to the closer shop and not making the extra drive to going to the best. If UPREV sends you to a shop other than Z Car Garage I tell you to think again and make the extra effort to make this shop your first choice…”

The G now runs as it should and the dyno reveals a healthy drivetrain. With 398hp/331tq to the wheels we are confident that Danny is happier now:) If you are interested in UPREV tuning your NA or FI Nissan/Infiniti please consider visiting ZCG for the right tune!

Kevin C wanted to spice up his daily driver Z33 so we added a Motordyne  5/16″ plenum spacer to complement his JWT Pop Charger:

UPREV tuning followed with peak gains of 13hp/10tq for a total of 256hp/245tq to the wheels:

At Z Car Garage we specialize in performance modifications for your Nissan/Infiniti. We also perform full maintenance services to keep your car running in optimal condition. Reuben M visited ZCG in 2008 to have the 30k-mile services completed on his stock LeMans Sunset 350z. Keep in mind that it is hard to avoid the temptation of forced-induction when one catches a glance of the many boosted-builds in our facility. Fast forward to 2013 and 13k-miles later…guess who has the craving for more power?

 

Reuben chose the Vortech V3-polished supercharger kit for its CARB-friendliness and daily driver operation. The dual-personality nature of the Vortech provides the potential for big power yet smooth, linear delivery.

 

A GTM 25-row oil cooler keeps oil temperature in check while the JWT HD clutch/flywheel help put the power to the wheels:

 

With the Vortech supercharger installed Reuben’s Z made 375hp/327tq to the wheels. This was a +123hp/86tq improvement over stock:

We love how sleeper this Z is! Our ZCG bypass-valve silencer keeps things quiet and the FMIC barely peeks from behind the OEM grille:

Enjoy The Boost, Reuben!

 

Kunal J is the owner of this very sexy G35 coupe with Volk TE37s wheels and tasteful ride height. He came to ZCG for brake services, ART pipes and an UPREV dyno tune. We happily installed brake parts that Kunal brought in himself and replenished  the clutch hydraulics:

ART pipes, and fresh tires for the timeless TE37 wheels:

 

Rob UPREV tuned the G and gained 16hp/4tq for a total of 278hp/261tq to the wheels. The dyno shows improvements throughout the entire rev range:

Thanks for letting us work on your G35 Kunal!
