Their food is delicious-tasting and designed to last for 25 years. They even have kits with real meat. And if the power’s out, no worries. Just boil water over a fire, simmer, and serve. You’ll enjoy a hot meal and stay safe in a crisis.

News brought to you by Colby Valve

• Motor 1 – This “Stock” Nissan Frontier Is About to Run A 500-Mile Desert Race
  • Nissan has teamed up with Forsberg Racing to campaign a mildly modified version of the pickup in the NORRA 500.
  • The 2023 Frontier Pro-4X features an assortment of official Nismo Off Road parts. The most significant upgrade is the lift kit and high-performance suspension, adding 1.5- and 1.0-inches front and rear.
  • Seventeen-inch Axis beadlock wheels sit at all four corners wrapped in Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tires.
  • The truck has Nismo Off Road lighting upgrades, a roof rack, and rock sliders. A Forsberg Racing-designed graphics package completes the list of upgrades.
  • The NORRA 500, a 500-mile desert race, kicks off in Ensenada, Mexico, with competitors racing to San Felipe and back.
• Autoblog – Nissan Safari Rally Z Tribute revealed at SEMA with lifted suspension, more power
  • This particular Nissan Z is being shown alongside a replica Datsun 240Z rally car that’s dressed up to look like the number 11 Datsun 240Z that won the 3,800-mile 1971 East African Safari Rally.
  • The key modifications are largely suspension-based, as the new Z features custom KW Safari suspension combined with custom Nismo parts – adjustable upper control arms, outer tie rod ends, front & rear end-links, rear mid-links and rear traction arms – to raise its ride height by two inches. This helped Nissan fit 17-inch prototype Nismo Safari wheels and 225/65-17 Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 tires in the wheel wells.
  • Nissan says the engine is tuned by AMS for “400+” horsepower. It also features a Nismo clutch and flywheels, Nismo cold air intake, Nismo heat exchanger and Nismo carbon fiber engine cover. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 breathes by way of a Nismo Track exhaust system with 2.25-inch stainless steel piping.
  • It’s worth noting that this particular build is fitted with a manual transmission, something the production Z Nismo does not offer.
  • Braking is done by  a Tommy Pikes Customs brake package for better off-road performance.
  • Interior modifications include Recaro Pole Position seats with custom inserts, a harness bar and four-point safety harnesses. If you really want to get into the Z Safari mood, Nissan says it’s going to sell a Seiko Safari Z watch that pays homage to the original 240Z rally car – only 240 will be made.
  • However, we’re much more curious about whether Nissan will ever make a production version of this Safari Rally Z like Porsche did with the 911 Dakar and Lamborghini has done with the Huracan Sterrato.
