Just give it a couple of months - you will head back there asking for it to be redone..

 

Just moved to Dallas and I think I have a bad starter or alternator.
What's a good shop either near south McKinney to university park/ south Richardson I can get it tested and replaced.

 

I have a starter with your name on it..text coming your way sir..

 

Not sure if they're replicas or not but they're just regular Nismo side skirts, specifically USDM spec. There's no such thing as Nismo V2 side skirts.

 

Fk ya they are reps man... Its Strafe renamed..Sh*tty fitment and sh*tty products..

 

Yea woops, didn't mean to type "V2 side skirts". I was thinking of the V2 body kit, but anyhoo yes, I meant to say Nismo side skirts lol.

@AcidJake75
I guess you had some bad experience with Stephen then. I, personally, still like his work and yes I'll be coming back for more work to be done to my car lol.

 

Have at it son.. Ive never had any work done by him - just seen his work.. Others have too and they agree...Its to each is own..

 

Oh alrighty then. But yea to each his own, I like his work lol. I will be going back to him to re-spray front bumper and custom headlight work. Don't be mad at me lol!

 

Im not mad at all holmes - I just feel that you shouldnt have to go back.. I dont like orange peel..

 

Re-spray the front bumper? Did it not come out right before?

 

Traded my V2 for a V3 and bumper and it isn't really in good shape. Previous owner also plasti-dip the lip which was a nono for me as well and I want it to be gloss black lol

 

So, you just got your V2 painted only to trade it for a V3 in poor shape right away? Seems like a waste of money.


BTW, there will always be people who are satisfied and people who are dissatisfied with workmanship of every shop. I have not seen a single shop where it was all one sided and have not heard of a shop not making any mistakes. It's all in how they address any negative issues as they arise, and of course the lower the frequency of such experiences the better.

I've had a few shops and various people work on my Z throughout my ownership and every single one of them (including me) has done something wrong at one point. Of course, those issues were addressed and rectified as they occurred.

 

Jake, texted ya.

 

There is one shop that stands to me, as far as it seems like no one has an issue with them. They are in CA though haha. http://www.yelp.com/biz/sounds-of-speed-santa-clara

Went there for exhaust work, as recommended by Z Car Garage, and then for oil changes at school. It's two guys who run it, and they are just plain nice guys and car guys. They don't mind if you go back with them to look at stuff, and they always show me the other projects they have in there, like a fully restored 280Z. When I had my MD exhaust tips extended the guy was like I'll just bring them straight back, but don't tell anyone you got it done here, since it wasn't perfect in his eyes. They also would do oil changes for me on the ground if their lifts were taken.

Sorry for the total random post, but reading some of the earlier ones got me reminiscing. Doubt I could ever find a shop like that again, at least that isn't some super nice and expensive place. Luckily we have Jake, and he pretty much fits the bill.

 

I have been having my V2 for a little over a year now I just wanted something different lol. The V3 isn't really that bad but I would say 6.5/10. Also, I totally agree with you about satisfaction of a shop. Not everyone can be one decided with a shop.

 

So I read through all these posts and does anyone else know of machine shops and or mechanic/auto shops that could bore out my motor and build my shortblock in Dallas? Or even anywhere in texas??

 

I've got a buddy that went to the School of Automotive Machinists in Houston. He doesn't do any of that now, but he probably knows someone. He's all muscle cars, but I don't know if that will matter. I'll ask him tomorrow.

 

Any one know of a good shop around McKinney, frisco, allen, Plano area that can replace my upper oil pan...
I cracked mine while replacing the oil pressure sensor

 

Hey Brolan04Z I've got a phone number for the machinist that my buddy knows. Send me a PM.

 

Check out 5th Gear over in Lewisville, its a bit of a drive but they're sports car people.
