Zero Lift

We are post time skip! It's time for the recap of what the Dynamic Duo have been up to in the roller coaster we call life. Is John the new prince of Saudi like French Montana? Has Lenny finally gotten fast? Find out in this episode!

ZeroLift is back after a two-year break, and what better way to return than with the legendary 'Wangan King,' GTR Dan! Step back in time with us to the early 2000s, when 800whp machines were a common sight on Tokyo's iconic expressways, and Dan lived the ultimate Japan street racing dream. Get ready to immerse yourself in a memorable chapter of his life.

We take a moment to catch up Jared on what our fellow Zero Lifter has up to. We discuss Formula 1 cancelling the Imola GP due to heavy flooding and maybe the start of silly season. Jared's back with us to share his upcoming aspirations to build a time-attack car and we help him narrow down a good starting chassis. We also revive a ZL classic: "What I Wish I was Driving!" Thanks for listening and we will be getting back to more regular updates soon.

Forgive our absence! We're back and joined by a guest hailing from the temple of speed that is Monza, Italy. Davide of K&Y Fob is with us this week to talk about his journey making custom one-off mementos for car lovers, and his own lover affair with his Porsche 356. From F1, to custom bags and leather key fobs, to cooking brakes on a mountain pass, enjoy Davide's colorful trip down memory lane.

We have a very special episode this time; we talk shop with the ever-stylish, internet blog and automotive photography pioneer, Dino Dalle Carbonare of Speedhunters. We talk about how he got into cars, his experiences working on one of the most recognizable car blogs of all time, and the state of the scene in Japan today. Dino has a new channel, Dino DC, on youtube so be sure to check it out! link below: Dino DC - YouTube

We generally try to keep our episodes around 1 hour in length, but we had too much fun talking cars with Danny of RMC Miami, one of the coolest and most interesting modified car dealerships in the business. Get settled in as we talk about importing cars, what it takes to run such a unique business, and some of the more special cars Danny has come across through his work.

Today we chat with Nate Vosburg, owner of two Japan-shop built 911's who had the crazy experience of being an apprentice under Nakai-san at RWB, not once, but twice! Enjoy this trip down memory lane talking about the German performance sub-culture in the land of the rising sun.

We have a very special edition of Zero Lift this week, Mid Night Racing Team (otherwise known as the infamous "Midnight Club") enthusiast Andy Carey joins us to talk about his personal experiences with the team and dispels some outrageous myths and rumors surrounding the team and era of high-speed racing in Japan. Join us as we discuss his unprecedented access to the legendary and secretive racing team.

Have your BOSS coffee and canned corn soup warmed up! This week we have Josh (@natsustory on tiktok) who worked media & marketer with 7tune as a guest to talk about our shared experiences in Japan and visiting the legendary Tatsumi PA. We chat about the awesome cars and machinery, the various characters that could be found on any given night, and the very special scene we had the luck to be part of. Closing out we revive "Scrap, race, daily" with noteworthy cars from our Tatsumi days.

We kick off our interview season with a Skyline GTR owners chat surrounding a fairly simple concept: How do you modify a legend? keep it true to its name but still add some new technology.  We're joined by RevMatch Podcasts' very own BCNR33 Owner Mike for a discussion into what John and Lenny have done to their BNR32 GTRs, and what direction he wants to take in bringing the car to his ideal level of performance.  Listen and play along in our GTR challenge game as Lenny has too much mezcal while John's in the driest place on the planet.
