Hey Guys (New Member/Parts Vendor)

Hey everyone -

Hope you guys don't mind me joining up over here. My name is Zack, and I'm down in Lafayette, Louisiana.
I don't own a S-12 chassis car unfortunately, but I do own a '86 Z31 Turbo amongst other things, and I currently own a business, called the Acadiana Sports Car Orphanage, that designs and sells performance parts for vehicles and engines with limited aftermarket support. (single cam VG anyone...? LOL)

Being that the S12 is a fun to drive sports coupe with an active community, I thought it might be a good idea to join the forums, let you guys (and gals) know that we are working on more and more performance options for the VG powered variants of these cars, and possibly help the whole community with developing products specifically for this platform.

Here are a few products that we do carry, just to give you an idea:

Our Z31/M30 Gutted Intake Manifolds -


and our new VG30 Intake Manifold Spacer Kits -


Thanks for letting me join!

Welcome!

I have been stalking your posts on the Z and Xterrra forums for a while. I think your company is a good fit for S12 owners as well although most S12 owners and not very wealthy Smiley I'm mostly interested in products for taking a NA VG30e to a VG30et. Keep the new products coming!

Stalking eh? That's the most excitement I've had all week!  laugh

I'm doing my best to deliver relevant, quality parts to market for the lowest price I possibly can. I'm also always open to suggestions and ideas, and hopefully I can become a valuable member to the community!

Awesome.

There are not enough guys that modify Pathfinder intakes to fit under the hood. Headers are another pain for us S12 VG owners. The only headers that fit without mods are the ones from Experimental Engineering for 510 owners. Exhaust manifolds for a front mount turbo setup would rock. EGR delete is always good unless you live in Cali!

that intake makes me happy inside.  they are unfortunately right in saying that s12 owners really dont have much cash for parts, though I'm sure you'll get some business eventually Wink

Well, we do plan on pushing forward with a modified Pathy plenum for Z31s, although I'm not sure if it will clear the S12's hood.
We are used to folks with minimal money for upgrades (we do sell Z31 parts. LOL) So the key is to make the upgrades worthwhile and priced right.

welcome!

Welcome! Glad to see you took an interested in the S12. I used a intake spacer like that on my CA18DET (from New Zeland). Looking forward to seeing what products you come out with. Thought about headers for my SE, but would like to see some dyno #'s before I spend the money and hassle of install. Also, talk it over with the wife (The S12 is the DD among 2 other projects)  yay!

Always nice to hear of someone willing and able to make good custom parts whilst keeping the price down. Thanks in advance and welcome to the Club

Awww booo no ca love lol anyway welcome and this looks promising just don't get discouraged if not a lot of people buy parts at first lol we're all broke here. Anyway goodluck in the venture and hope your buisness does well.

LOL thanks guys.

I'm not opposed to doing stuff for the CA, but I've got about 8-10 products already either in development or testing, mostly for the VG. After that, we 'll kinda go from there based on demand.

I can tell you that we will soon be releasing properly manufactured "repositionable" cam gears for the VG. There was a manufacturer making them who was using paper templates to drill keyholes, and other such nonsense. Ours will be properly CNC machined and will have engraved sightlines. I think I can offer them for a really attractive price too. (I actually am letting the cat out of the bag by saying this. I've not announced it anywhere else)

Also if anyone is interested, we have a Facebook page as well -
