The performance EV landscape is changing rapidly, and public opinion on electric vehicles also seems to be on the move. How much faster can they go? What are their limitations? Are they even still relevant? A lot has changed since we first had this week's guest, Sasha Anis of Mountain Pass Performance, on the podcast back in 2022. This conversation gets us right up to date on where the industry sits now and what it's going to look like in the very near future.Use ‘ONPOINT50' to get $50 off HPA's EV Fundamentals Course: https://hpcdmy.co/evbSasha has a foot in both the EV and ICE worlds, driving an extremely quick hybrid 350Z race car as well as owning and operating both Mountain Pass Performance and On Point Dyno, so he's the perfect person to get down into the weeds on the latest automotive tech without much of a bias one way or the other.In this conversation, we jump straight into just how much things have changed since Sasha was on the podcast only a couple of years ago, discussing the good and the bad consequences of this rapid evolution. We also talk about where it's all heading next. Is hybrid the way forward? And what about hydrogen? And how much better can EVs actually get?The chat then turns towards the technical side as Sasha talks us through the basics of an EV system, covering all the major components and their purposes. We also discuss why it's so hard to extract extra power out of an EV system and how an amateur enthusiast should go about carrying out an EV swap if they want to actually get a good result.

Our latest episode transports you back to that era, while cruising through the ever-changing landscape of car culture in Chicago. From the tight-knit camaraderie of events like Chicago vs. Everybody, to navigating the tricky dance with law enforcement, we cover the full spectrum of what it means to be part of this pulsating community.

We shine a light on the importance of safety, respect, and the need to protect the integrity of these gatherings from those who would disrespect them. The episode also takes a turn towards the more serious issues of violence and conflict resolution among the youth, emphasizing the power of community and strength of character over the persuasion of carrying a weapon.Join us along with the crew from BNoise TV as we recall the skillful showmanship of legendary drivers like the 350Z master and share laughs over tire-changing escapades gone awry.

00:00 - OPEN - A Tree Falls and Smashes Our Cars, Which Leads To This 2nd Generation Nissan Xterra ReviewFirst, an apology... sorry for the very late delivery on this episode! It's been a heck of a week here at Casa de Crenshaw as my podcast prep time was suddenly taken up with debris removal and car insurance hassles. That's because at the beginning of the week, an 80' tree snapped off in high winds and smashed three of our cars. One is totaled, one will need paint work and the third... well, that one is just going to live on with battle scars. Originally I was planning a different episode this week, but out of the unexpected "Driveway Apocalypse" came an opportunity to review the 2nd Generation Nissan Xterra. What follows is a story about truly helpful neighbors and a great SUV, so enjoy! 00:42 - INTRO - Helpful Neighbors Help Cut Our Cars Free After a Tree Falls On Them In A WindstormI am so grateful to our neighbors who came to our rescue with chain saws, trucks, trailers and several hours of sweaty work to help free our cars after they were crushed by a fallen tree. What follows in the next 10 minutes is a recap of what happened. That event lead to this week's podcast, because in addition to all the help cutting away the tree debris, we also had the opportunity to drive a neighbor's 2011 Xterra while we sorted out our car situation. That generosity promoted this week's episode. I was planning to review the second generation Xterra at some point, but the opportunity to drive one this week reminded me why I like Xterras so much, so I dropped my other podcast episode idea, turned lemons into lemonade (or maybe Limoncello) and created this last-minute review of the 2nd Generation Nissan Xterra. Again, sorry it took so long to get this recorded and posted, but I had to take care of our family disaster cleanup first. 11:25 - Background On The Nissan Xterra First Gen Xterra (2000-2004) Overview1st Gen Xterra was a big hit with outdoor enthusiasts Named Motortrend's SUV of the year in 2000Featured rugged, no-frills styling that still looks great today Body-on-frame design offered solid off-road capabilityDrivers had a choice of either a 4-cylinder or a 6-cylinder engine2.4-liter 4-cylinder made 143-hp3.3-liter 6-cylinder made 170-hp (bumped to 180 hp in 2003)Available in 2WD and 4WD with automatic or manual transmission Second Gen Xterra (2005-2015) Overview Styling in original Xterra was a hit, so Nissan just enhanced it in the 2nd Gen XterraRugged good looks of the original are still attractive today. 2nd Gen Xterra is larger in every dimension & considerably more powerful than previous generation (more room inside for people and gear) Still an affordable SUV targeted towards outdoor enthusiastsBuilt on Nissan's sturdy F-Alpha platform used in the Frontier and Titan pickups4-cylinder option dropped. 6-cylinder is the only optionNew engine is a 4.0-liter VQ-series 6-cylinder that makes 261-hp and 281-lb.ft of torque (engine was rated at 265-hp & 284-lb.ft. initially, but SAE revamped their power certification rating, so the hp & torque numbers were changed to 261-hp & 281-lb.ft for 2007 model year)This new VQ-series engine is similar to the 3.5-liter motor in the 350Z, but it has a longer stroke to make it 4.0-liters displacement, delivering more low-end power & torque better suited to an SUV. 15:15 - Some Reasons Why You Might Want A 2nd Gen Nissan XterraRugged good looks are as appealing today as when newUnique design touches, including fender flares, locking top storage box, footholds in the rear bumper to reach the rack and...

Jon Summers is The Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing, technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. Hailing from California, he collects cars and bikes built with plenty of cheap and fast, and not much reliable. On his show, he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, and motoring travel. J drove some new cars on the Western Automotive Journalists annual test day, #waj, #wajmedia days, #wajmediadays22. Thanks to everyone at the manufacturers, #waj and Page One Automotive for sorting that out. Discussed are: BMW M4 Competition Convertible The new BMW grill with giant kidneys (altho J calls it a Mercedes grill…) BMW I50 M4; range anxiety, and the city car According To J Electra Meccanica Solo Lucid; the drive; meeting the design team Toyota Tundra Capstone; looks like a Lexus drives like a Hellcat; Americans and their trucks Ford Maverick; 21st Century Model T? Not driven, but also discussed is the new Nissan Z car - M has driven his 350Z 170k and crashed a 370Z; comparison with Mustangs. Fleet news: M is considering buying a BMW M2 to replace his Renault Megane RS265; the importance of independent specialist mechanics if you're running second-hand premium cars. J compares V twin sportsbikes, a BMW 1150R, and his most recent acquisition, a Ducati 900 SS/CR and the value of an “Italian Tune Up”. The Isle of Man TT, the deaths, the ethics, and the guy we sponsored, Mike Booth, being seriously injured. Nurburgring and Spa track days remembered. Copyright Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian.

This is the story of a 1989 Nissan 300Zx (Z31) that I owned from April 2013 until October 2015. This car was a slice of nostalgia for me and a dream come true. I only got rid of it because I'd bought a 2003 350Z in September of 2015 and I just didn't have room for a 4th car.

It's not long ago that trying to get 200HP more from an engine at its limit without forced induction or nitrous would have left you scratching your head with 0 results.Sasha Anis of MoTeC Canada and Mountain Pass Performance runs us through their Lotus Evora (Blue Lightning) EV conversion project and 700HP Nissan 350Z Hybrid setup which all use a mixture of OEM Tesla, Chevrolet and BMW motor and battery componentsSasha discusses how the goal for the Blue Lightning project was to have a complete OE feel including stability and traction control built-in using a MoTeC M150EV control unit rather than all the manual switches you often find in a race car. The limitations including software, range, heat and voltage management are touched on along with cost being one of the biggest barriers to entry for motorsport level setups at the moment. Luckily there are some options that MoTeC offer and some other simpler controllers out there already getting the ball rolling with plug and play solutions in the pipeline for the industry also.On the Hybrid 350Z front we learn about the 500HP All Motor VQ35 and its KERS system that sees up to 200HP extra on tap once more than 80% throttle has been requested. This setup gives the flexibility of going all out for a Time Attack application or having smaller amounts of power on tap for an entire race depending on driver and track demands. A MoTeC GPRP is used for engine and sequential gearbox control with a lot of the custom Blue Lightning firmware handling the electric motor side of the car.Lastly, we dive into the charging limitations for a KERS system. As the BMW i8 battery has some unknown parameters and is expensive, Sasha explains that it's a constant balance of managing voltage and heat to ensure batteries are not overcharged when they're close to full but have as much charge as they can safely when depleted to maximise performance, meaning the scale of charge is always shifting.Want to learn more about motorsport wiring?

Hoy vamos a arrancar anunciando algo que va a ser una buena costumbre: una vez al mes os ofreceremos el vídeo mensual de CEROaCIEN, un vídeo con temas de la revista. Además, por ser garajista tienes un descuento al comprar o suscribirte a la revista “CEROaCIEN”, entra en este link: https://www.ceroacien.es E introduce el código de descuento GH10. Muy importante, esta revista ¡No se vende en kioscos! En los años ’60 parecía que solo los europeos sabían hacer coches deportivos. En los USA el mercado de coches deportivos estaba en alza, pero la oferta se limitaba a algunos modelos americanos y, sobre todo, ingleses, que dominaban el mercado. Y entonces llegó un coche que lo cambió todo, que prácticamente barrió a la competencia: El Datsun Z. ¿Datsun o Nissan? Eso también te lo contaremos. Y vale la pena esta historia, porque como os decía el Z fue un coche que cambió muchas cosas. ¿Por qué? Primero, contribuyo al declive de los deportivos ingleses y con ellos, de la industria inglesa. ¿Os parece una exageración? Pues ya os digo que no. Segundo, demostró que los japoneses sabían hacer coches adaptados a otros mercados, porque uno de los méritos del Z fue que se hizo para satisfacer la demanda de deportivos en Estados Unidos teniendo en cuenta sus gustos e, incluso, su talla. Tercero, demostró que deportividad y fiabilidad no son incompatibles, pues una de las cualidades que siempre ha tenido el Z ha sido esa, la de ser un coche prestacional, pero extremadamente fiable. Cuarto, por primera vez un coche japonés, muy deportivo, competía en diseño y capacidad de seducción con los modelos europeos y americanos. Los japoneses sabían diseñar coches… aunque la paternidad del diseño del Z fue discutida hasta mediados de los años ’80. También lo contaremos. Y quinto, muy importante, ofreció un deportivo bonito, con buenas prestaciones, fiable y muy al gusto americano y… por un precio muy ventajoso. Os voy a dar una referencia: En 1970 un Porsche 911 con su motor de 2,2 litros y 125 CV era un modelo completamente equiparable al 240 Z que ofrecía 151 CV con mediciones SAE, o sea unos 135 CV de verdad; desde luego la marca Porsche era un todo en referente, tanto o más que ahora, mientras que la marca Datsun se asociaba a coches pequeños y utilitarios. Pero es que el Z costaba menos de la mitad. En Nissan tenían clara una cosa: Su objetivo era el mercado americano y querían un coche que gustase a ese público. Habían contratado al diseñador alemán Albrechtn Von Goertz, quien había trabajado en Studebakers nada menos que con Raymond Loewy, probablemente el más famoso diseñador americano. Goertz presentó varios diseños y prototipos, insistió en temas como la habitabilidad talla USA, ya que los japoneses eran y creo que siguen siendo mucho más pequeños y en temas como ofrecer un buen maletero, accesible y con capacidad para un par de juegos de palos de golf… todo muy yanqui. Pero al final, el responsable del diseño del Z fue el japonés Yoshihico Matsuo y su equipo, quienes, sin lugar a dudas, se inspiraron en el diseño de Goertz. Tanto es así que durante años y años Goertz reclamó la paternidad del Z, algo que de algún modo consiguió cuando recibió una carta de Nissan reconociendo que su trabajo “influyo” en el diseño del Z… vamos, como niños. Pero el Z no solo era una cara bonita. Motor y bastidor ofrecían soluciones muy interesantes. El motor era “un seis cilindros” en línea con árbol de levas en culata, que nació como dos litros, entre otras cosas por temas fiscales, pero luego fue subiendo de cilindrada hasta casi los 3 litros. En cuando al bastidor, por supuesto monocasco, contaba con un subchasis trasero y suspensión independiente. Por fin, en diciembre de 1969 se pone a la venta el Datsun 240 Z o el Fairlady Z, según los mercados y tiene un éxito instantáneo. Pero no sólo en los USA, sino que también en Europa y en Japón, el coche se vende muy bien y recibe criticas muy favorables. En 1974 el 240Z se convierte en 260 Z. Este cambio no se limita al motor de 2.6 litros, sino que incluye los paragolpes reforzados imprescindibles en los USA, catalizador y llega la versión 2+2 con distancia entre ejes alargada en 30 cm. No mucho mas tarde aparece la versión 280Z, ya con inyección de combustible. El éxito del Z fue apoteósico. En sus primeros cuatro años de vida Nissan vendió más de 250.000 unidades, una de cada cinco en Estados Unidos. Borró del mapa a los obsoletos deportivos ingleses, compitió sin complejos con el Jaguar E y el Porsche 911 que le duplicaban en precio. La segunda generación, el 280ZX, se lanza en 1978 ya solo como versión 2+2. Gana en practicidad, lujo y confort, pero pierde en deportividad y, en mi opinión, no es tan puro ni tan bonito. Pero la filosofía Z continuó con el impresionante Nissan 300ZX de 1983 y luego con los 350Z y al actual 370Z herederos directos de la filosofía de este mítico modelo.

Datsun/Nissan Z cars Pt.2 In this episode, I cover the latest generations of the Datsun/Nissan Z cars, starting with the 300ZX all the way to the newly shown off Z Proto. With the first 300ZX, things were looking up in terms of performance, but the car still had a long way to go. By 1990 the Z32 300ZX was out and this car became incredible, utilizing a twin-turbo V6 engine, 4 wheel steering, and many other upgrades. The Z32 would become one of the best sports cars of the time. The 350Z and 370Z both continued the trend of good performance and a good price, the next-generation Z Proto was just shown off and things are looking good again for this latest Z car Thanks for Listening!
