VQ35HR Datsun Roadster On Track!

Filed under: Featured Cars and Projects,Performance
by Alvin G @ 11:44 pm on September 6, 2013


Remember Todd Green and his VQ-powered Datsun Roadster race car? Here are a few pictures from him running Solo2 at Grattan Raceway in Michigan earlier this week. Shown above, Todd is crossed-up going sideways at the top of 4th gear (8,000rpm) preparing for a 90 degree right hander!

 
We love this beast of a roadster and how Todd runs it hard. “I was at the top of 6th gear going across the finish line. I could hardly see as my head was getting beat around violently by the turbulence”
Keep at it Todzilla! Datsuns Are Driven!

Mark G. came to ZCG to have his T/C bushings replaced, NISMO wheels re-finished and an UPREV tune. Since his Z is a base model the entire steering wheel/gauge cluster was replaced along with the clutch switch. Now Mark can use the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel to switch between his 5 fuel maps!


UPREV tuning yielded significant gains for a total of 270hp/253tq to the wheels:
