EVENTS: The Golden Week Kyusha Festival

Filed under: Events,Featured Cars and Projects

The Golden Week Kyusha Festival was held yesterday in Richmond, CA. We were proud to be a sponsor of the inaugural show with an impressive attendance and fantastic venue at the Craneway Pavillion. This was the site of the Ford Motor Company assembly plant in the 1930s, now a historic landmark.

 

While Rob and the ZCG crew were vintage racing at Laguna Seca I attended the show in my Datsun Roadster. The weather was beautiful and I had a great time checking out rows of Japanese Classics.

ZCG Customers


I was happy to see several ZCG customers attending the show. James Stephens’ Turbocharged L-series S30 has a few more upgrades since being featured in Speedhunters, expect a full report soon!

 

Our friends from Bring a Trailer brought their 1973 240z. This Z has seen some serious rally duty and wears our ZCG Big-Brake kit . We love that it is driven!

 
 

Nickhil’s S30 recently came in for our ZCG Big-Brake kit too! We are excited to share his story on zcarblog as well.

 
 

Neal D proudly displayed his freshly-restored concours 240z.

  

Datsuns!

 

Datsuns made up almost half the show with Z’s, 510 wagons, sedans and coupes. There was even a wild 1200 with a 13B!

Daniel Wu’s “Tanto” 510 (built by our friend and talented racer Troy Ermish) is always nice to see:

Really cool wagons, my favorite wearing Devil Shadows:

Here is a short video of the show, enjoy!

 

Friends

I had fun seeing familiar faces and friends. Some go back to the days of the Mt. Shasta Meet! Our friends from Techno Toy Tuning showing off their latest parts for Z cars:

 

Francis Jr.’s S30 looked great with Watanabe wheels and Euro tail lights. Congrats on your award Jr.!

The Jervis family showed their bone-stock Datsun 510. The trunk was filled with nostalgic photos of Shasta/auto-x events.

The roadster was well-received, people had fun with it!

 

Toyota’s

 
 
 

Rad Wheels!

So many cool JDM wheels from Watanabe’s to Techno Phantoms!

Thank You!

The Kyusha Festival was a success. I loved the venue and look forward to next year’s event! Big thanks to Kia Shariloo and event staff for hosting. Enjoy the photo gallery below!

ZCG CV Axles

Z Car Garage is proud to offer a CV axle conversion kit for your Datsun S30 and 510. We have sold over 50 sets of axles, with customers installing and enjoying them on everything from street cars to full-blown IMSA racers. These CV axles will help transmit power to the ground and ensure smoother operation compared to your standard half shafts. Full details can be found HERE

 

We love to hear from customers that are using our products. John B comes from Florida and he sent us these pictures of his S30 project getting ZCG CV Axles:

 

John reports that the axles were easy to install and well-engineered. Thanks John, and nice work!

 
 

We are on our 3rd batch of CV Axles, please contact the shop to order your set!

ZCG Big-Brakes

 

Our ZCG Big Brakes have been winning Z-car enthusiasts locally and across the US. We are super stoked to hear from our friends at JDM Legends installing the brake kit on their customer’s 280z project:

 
 

The next run of Big-Brake Kits will be available in 3-4 weeks. We are also working on an installation manual so we can ship this kit worldwide. Blog posts documenting all of our customers running the ZCG Big-Brakes can be found HERE.

Long Live The Z!
