Summer means motorsports and car shows with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the ride with fellow Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti owners. Here are two special events coming soon from Z Car Garage and ZONC:
If you are a fan of vintage racing come out to Laguna Seca August 17-19 for the Monterey Motorsports Reunion. ZCG is hosting a VIP Car Corral for your Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti. To park in the corral you MUST purchase the corral tickets through ZCG! It is only $10, allows you to park with other Datsun owners, and it’s literally footsteps away from the track and venue, unlike general parking. See you there!

The Annual Brisbane Car Show will be held on
July 28 so mark those calendars!

Before the 350z and G35 became incredibly popular import hot rods Rob built a very special sportscar with owner John N. back in 2005. They Vortech supercharged a G35 coupe to the tune of 500whp with nitrous intercooler-spray along with plenty of bolt-ons. The car was even featured in
SportCompactCar magazine, here is what it looked like then:
From 2006-2007 John wanted to go all out in terms of performance and looks so ZCG proceeded to transform the G starting with a APS Extreme Twin-Turbo kit on a fully-built 4.1L stroker motor:
The interior got an extensive roll-cage that was both safe and allowed back seat access. Bride seats and a custom gauge pod stand out in otherwise factory-luxurious interior:
Footwork was immense, consisting of Stoptech 14″ brakes both front and rear(355mm), Tein-Flex coil-overs, and ludicrously wide custom HRE wheels with 345-width tires in back.
Although the tuning scene was very differnt 6 years ago, practically every aftermaket part available at the time was included in the build. The engine wasn’t fully tuned to experience all of its glory but the G was thoroughly enjoyed after it left the shop.
Fast forward to 2012 when current owner Mark L. called ZCG and described a certain widebody G35 for sale! Rob immediately knew the car, an appointment was made and work began where they left off to
complete that last 10% to make this widebody a street sweeper. Rob UPREV tuned with the factory ECU instead of Hydranemesis standalone originally on the car and made some incredible gains:
Before: 481hp/482tq
After: 556hp/566tq
Thanks for letting us finish an awesome car Mark, enjoy the ride!
