Three 370Z's prepare for Top Secret Japan's arrival in Houston!

TurboFC3C · 03-09-2010, 12:53 PM

Hi fellas,

Last thursday MaydayGarage was at Secret Services auto early in the morning to document some baseline test numbers for 3 different 370Z's. These Z's will undergo a very dramatic change in less than 30 days in preparation for a private session tune with none other than "Smoky" Nagata of Top Secret Japan starting March 28th. These Z34's are completely stock and still have their paper plates, but that will change. Planet Zero and Baker-Jackson Nissan have overnighted prototype parts from various companies such as Top Secret, PowerHouse Amuse, Recaro, etc.

Here is a super quick vid:

Stay tuned while we document the 30 day process of these 370Z's on MaydayGarage.

Hope they can meet the deadline, 30 days seems long but they have a fully stock car and plenty of work to do.

dalparadise · 03-09-2010, 08:06 PM

They'll make it. All the parts are in from Top Secret and awaiting installation. The guys building it say the interior may not be finished, but the performance parts will be ready for Smoky.

I believe it'll stay NA for Smoky's tune. From what I hear, he really wants to get a feel for our gasoline in an NA setup. Once he's done, who knows?

There's a rumor that Baker-Jackson Nissan will be getting a GT-R tuned by Smoky, too. So, Godzilla and Mothra together, destroying Houston? Sounds fun.

As for Smoky's Supra, I've heard it's a Nissan engine in there, right?

Chriz · 03-09-2010, 08:46 PM

I believe its a 4 cylinder toyota engine from a MR2. Also in for results.

True, there is actually 3 (maybe more). The 4 cylinder I was talking about is one that did the wangan run in New Zealand.(I think its sold) The v12 is the one that hit 222 at nardo ring. However there is one powered by an rb26 that is famous for his wangan run in UK which got him banned.

I hope smokey brings his supra and has fun with the cops there.
lol!

Just went to SSA on the 7th to tune my friend's turbo s2000, and going back this Saturday again for a visit. I'm interested to see their plans for these Z's.
