Send a message to Nitrouz -- he had most of the work on his Z done in Vancouver area and a shop on Vancouver Island -- check out his ride at www.g35.ca in the 350Z image gallery.

or just click here: https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/195474-photoshoot-nitrouz-and-gtnpu_z.html

depends on what you want done. We don't have shops that specialize in everything about Z's...so you have to take your car to different places for different things. Depends on what you want. I've done pretty much everything there is to do, so I got tons of connections in Vancouver. Let me know what you're looking for and I can point you towards the right direction.

edit: I never posted in the gallery.

lambo doors were bought off of bigh, done at streetdemonmotorsports in nanaimo. I wouldn't recommend them to do the doors though, as they didn't fit too well. I would recommend a shop in Surrey to do the install. Can't remember the name off of the top of my head though.

I did all my body installations as all my parts are JDM authentic parts and all in CF, so no prepping or painting was required. Rims and wheels are too easy to put on, as long as you order them together and have the pre-mounted and balanced. Don't waste money on that.

CF? as in CarbonFiberFX? or California? lol...im bad..

but thnx for the info~you seriously know the place well
btw, i noticed that you stil have a stock block, pulley etc, would you happen to know if there are any more or less "experienced" shop that has dealt with the VQ35 engine (engine internals for a built block)? I searched quite a bit and most of the shops have only done work on other engines...so any info would be nice^^

honestly, for a built block, I would search in the states. SGP, Zcargarage, Branstorm Performance, these are all the top dawgs here. Have them build you a block, ship it to you, and ask a shop to swap it in.

good luck.

P.S. CF = Carbon Fiber. CA = California.

thats what i was after, thnx~ but the "shop" that will do the swap would be fairly important...I dont want a poorly done job for an engine swap...^^

give me a few days. I'll make some phone calls. Your Z only deserves the best, and I love all Z's...even if they're not mine. I'll find you a shop.

btw...you can even take my stock block.

when do you want it done? Do you have a turbo kit yet? What's your price range and how much power are you looking for? Street car or race car or drag car? Or do you just wanna be able to blow away everything you see on the road?

AJ does good work, especially on N/A Honda's as that's their specialty. I used to hang out with Ben everyday back in high school. But be prepared to have your wallet disappear in a very short amount of time. You can find another place that will do the work for you just as well, for a lot less money.

What I'm doing with my car is still confidential at the moment. Should debut at SEMA. Let's put it this way...you'll blow away everything you see on the road...except me.

street demon motorsports in nanaimo. Authorized APS dealer. Installed and tuned my APS TT kit so they do have some experience with VQ's. The owner, Claude, used to own a 350Z as well.
