Not quite, but Autoweek reports that Nissan is supplying motivation for the “DeltaWing” race car. The engine is a direct-injected 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder reportedly making 300hp! Could this motor be the next SR20 and make its way to the engine bay of your vintage Datsun? 🙂 You can read more HERE

Brad G. brought his silver Nismo 370z to ZCarGarage for high-flow cats and UPREV tuning. Below are the Berk Hi-Flow cats replacing the factory units.
The stock Nismo Z34 is rated at 350hp/276tq(flywheel) and on the ZCG dyno it produced 297hp/246tq at the wheels. The plot on the left compares this baseline run with the Berk HFCs installed and shows solid gains of 9hp/9tq. Rob UPREV tuned the Z and extracted even more power for a final output of 312hp/260tq at the wheels:
Everyone had a great time at the Wednesday Night Fun Drags! Several ZCG customer cars and friends participated in the fun at Infineon Raceway and here are a few highlights:
Racers and spectators all wanted to see Walt’s GTR in action and the 600hp beast still struggled for traction even with it’s tenacious awd system and launch control…watch how the car squirms in 1st and 2nd gears!
Walt ran a best time of 11.09 at 128mph…Godzilla put on a great show.
Gary S. ran his super clean S14 240sx with recent turbo/exhaust upgrades. He piloted the Silvia-powered beauty to a 13.2s at 111mph pass. This car looks so understated, even when staging at the dragstrip!
This was Jeff V’s first time at the dragstrip with his 2012 Mustang GT. The ‘Stang recently got a full Vortech kit installed at ZCG and we’ll give you a full report this week. Jeff ran a 13.9 at 108mph, not bad for a beginner!
Who can forget Joe E’s RED ALERT Titan truck…he rocked a 14.3s 1/4 mile!
Scott S ran his gorgeous JRZYZTT on low boost for an impressive 12.7s at 120mph pass. He is ready for 10s now with his new cage 🙂
Here is what the launch looks like from inside the cabin…those poor street tires can’t match the power!
Wade W drove his Datsun 240z with the full RB26DETT Skyline drivetrain swap. This car is too nice to take on a dragstrip right? Wade knows that Datsuns are Driven! He ran a solid 13.2s at 105mph. Yes, this one does go to Eleven.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and making it a memorable day! If you are interested in joining us find out more information HERE, and keep an eye on the blog.
