DescriptionNISSAN 300ZX Race Car. Design Products full tube chassis. This chassis was entirely jig built of .095 wall DOM tubing. For a superior stiffness-to-weight, it uses proper princples of triangulation in its design and construction. It has computer designed coil over suspension on all four corners, with unequal length A-arm front suspension and three link with bottom mount watts link rear suspension. All critical suspension pick-up points and important chassis members are located within the chassis to minimize damage in the event of a crash. The car has been completely disassembled and inspected. Every part was either rebuilt or replaced. All parts were powder coated or ceramic coated. The body was repainted with Endura epoxy paint. The Rebello engine has only one race lap from the 2001 Runoffs. The Jerico 5-speed is two races old and the differential has just been rebuilt including a new DPI limited slip center section.

HistoryThis tube chassis was built in 1997 by Design Products in California. The body was built by Willox Motorsports in Canada. The car raced mainly in western Canada in 1998,1999,2000. For the 2001 season it competed at Phoenix, Thunderhill, Laguna Seca, Vancouver Indy, Calgary and at the 2001 Runoffs at Mid Ohio. Since that time it has gone through a complete restoration and has not been raced since.

I had to dig out my GCR, looks like the VG would have required an extra 100lbs minimum weight or the same weight with a wider track to run in GT-1
