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!

We are just a few days from the fun run to Canepa Design on October 26, 2013!  ZCarGarage and Z Owners of Northern California (ZONC) have arranged for a full tour of the amazing Canepa Design Museum and Showroom facility along with a beautiful drive through the Santa Cruz Mountains. The tour is impressive with a full look at how restorations are done on Porsche 959s to vintage race cars that you see at the major Historic Racing events. It is truly a candy store for automotive fans!

****Meet at the shop 9am SHARP Saturday morning!****

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:

 

Ismael P came to Z Car Garage for a Motordyne exhaust system install and dyno.  Here is the Motordyne Shockwave True Dual exhaust system with burnt Titanium tips:

Stock vs Motordyne:

 

While enjoying his Z at the drag strip the clutch slave cylinder failed so we had it towed to our dealership to enusre sure they covered it under warranty.  We picked it up and UPREV tuned it with nice gains bumping peak power to 324hp/267tq 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!
