Jared C has been a customer since Z Car Garage opened in 2004. Years ago before UPREV tuning existed, Rob tuned his car with a piggy back ecu.  Jared kept coming back to us for little things like cams when he was NA and last year made the jump to forced induction via the Vortech Tuner supercharger kit.

We added EV14 injectors, a GT MAF and 25-row Z1 oil cooler:

   

While it was in the shop Jared expressed interest in larger brakes and lucky for him we had some Stoptech ST-45 rear calipers in stock. We ordered matching silver ST60 calipers for the front:

Now the Z has big brakes to match its big power!

 

Jared’s Z has always been a really strong performer making above average power NA…it did the same with FI!

NA: 243hp/239tq

Vortech: 443hp/359tq

 

We turned it down a notch for final numbers of 429hp/353tq to the wheels:

 

Thank you Jared for your continued support and Enjoy The Ride under boost!

Our good friend Anthony S. is a hardcore Datsun enthusiast and owner of this sinister 510 wagon. We first met Anthony years ago at the All-Datsun Meet at Mt. Shasta. He started visiting the shop frequently, driving this wagon all the way from Oregon to San Jose, CA and we attended many events together. Anthony built this 510 from the ground up himself, and it has been constantly evolving. He started with a rather unorthodox inline-6 cylinder engine, the Toyota 7M-GTE:

 

This single-turbo setup spun the ZCG dyno to almost 400rwhp! Anthony is a track nut and the 510 has seen many days running hard at Portland Int. Raceway. Suspension and brake modifications include Brembo calipers up front, a linked Ford rear end and massive 255/35 tires in front with 285/35 rears.

 

The car has gone through some serious development including a full 2JZ-GTE engine, rear-mounted radiator setup and larger fender flares–all fabricated by Anthony himself!

 

In his quest for more power Anthony recently visited us again for BC cams and Haltech tuning.   We started with a baseline of 399hp/332tq to the wheels. After the cams it made 447hp/347tq:

 

 

With Haltech tuning final numbers were 461hp/362tq at the wheels:

 

More pics of Anthony’s fabrication work:

 

This Dime looks so sinister on the road with its gargantuan tires just barely contained by the fender flares, we love it!

 

Thank you Anthony for letting us be a part of your 510 build!
