shops in ontario/GTA
 

what shops you guys go to in the GTA...looking for parts...coilover, camber arms, exhaust and so on.

no one does any work on the 370 in the gta?

or gets any work done?

So... you don't have your own preference?

If you don't have a preference, and wants a shop that specializes on Z cars, I'd recommend Sasha @ SG-Motorsports.
www.sg-motorsport.com

As for parts, you can buy them from vendors on this forum and get it shipped, probably works out cheaper than getting it locally.

the shop i have worked with do audi/vw, this is my first Nissan!! so i dont want to take it to a shop that knows about audi/vw and nothing about the 370z.
some pics of the audi...

I've got all my parts from
Nissan 370Z Forum - View Profile: Pat@SMM

Pat@SMM, he is out of Ottawa but he comes to our area a lot!

Really? Gotta find a time to meet with him :tup:

Pat is great, he'll help ya with what you need!

Sasha from SG is great help and very knowledgable with Nissans....he will be tuning my car next month actually.
If you are just looking for parts then I can certainly help you out.......but a little too far to wrench on your car since I'm located in Ottawa. Send me a pm and let me know what you're looking for.

we are living under the same hood:tup:

We should meet up sometime and discuss Z stuff...:tup:

yea..we should..Lets wait till spring and see..I already found another person owns a Z here

Sasha tuned my 370z. Very knowledgable with Z's.. Has a really cool 350.

I have used Vuk @AMS for my z32 as many others have but I haven't done anything interesting yet to the z34 but I know he has already done a couple mods for people on them...

he seems like a good guy! and willing to work with you on the price, ill have to make the drive down to see him soon!

Q: as im new to the Z world and see people say z34, z32 as you did. is that the year of the car or just the 34th model of the cra? ie. say 2010 would be z34...2011 would be z35...2012 z36?

well, is the model thats different..
Z32 = 300ZX
Z33 = 350Z
Z34 = 370Z

:tup:

If you want to deal with ppl who have been around the z.. I would highly recommend you speak with..
-Ed@ APH
HOME - Advance Power House & Dyno

-Albert or Frank @ Speedstar
Speedstar JDM Racing & Performance - Home

Both of these shops have been working on the z for a long period of time..
Ed @ APH is also an UpRev dealer and Bryan@APH has tuned many, many z's and g's with great success.

Speedstar is my goto shop for all things JDM.. I purchased all of my Top Secret parts from them and couldn't be happier.

You can also try Nextmod...Nextmod
They have been building up for the past few years and have definitely made a name for themselves.

GL OP:tup:

Great info, thanks for sharing :tup:

thanks for the help on the Z34=370z ;)

also take a look at the shops you said.

great weather today, gonna take her for a spin..:tup:

WOW advance power house wants a lot for parts!!

Never been any of the one listed..:icon14:

They're not exactly cheap. More like, most shops in Toronto arent cheap at all. As I said, you might be better off buying them from sponsors on the forum, and get them shipped to Toronto. It might work out cheaper EVEN with duty and taxes and shipping fee.

True..I rather install all the parts myself unless is some kind of serious work that needs professional job done :tup:

I am telling you!!! Get them shipped from Pat@SMM!

I didn't know that APH had an online store..
-What did you get quoted from them?
... If you say a tt kit + install and tune.. I will lol and suggest that you go talk to them in person.:tup:

I really don't see parts being that much cheaper after you take into account-- shipping and brokerage fee's... Unless of course you are sending them to a mailbox across the border and taking the chance at bringing them over without declaring them...

When I purchased my TS parts from Speedstar. It would have only turned out to be $100 cheaper if I had ordered from BP Automotive instead.. (literally $3900 vs $4000)
-Local shops are held accountable.. while internet shops who mainly drop ship items cannot really be trusted to be accountable for anything.
-Shipping delays, damages, returns can be costly and a huge PITA.. Also returns have a huge gray area.. and thats if you follow the protocols set by the shipping companies and/if, the seller agrees to take the item back.

IMO -building a relationship with local shops can/will pay huge dividends... I know this from personal experiences.

But, I agree some parts that can be purchased direct from the main distributor or even manufacturer will be cheaper than having a local shop try and source it.

GL OP

Or that too!

quote for the ARK cb exhaust at power house 1900.00 plus 50% down up front on other site and shops 999.00- 1295.00 thats some big mark ups.

What about HKS - anybody found a good retailer with decent prices?

I wanna know more about the Injen Exhaust.. anyone got any idea?

Get the Fast intentions exhaust! I lovvvvve it

The fast intention exhaust is on the short list, a real small list. I like the HKS exhaust sound, it is exotic sounding without drone.

But at the twice the cost, It might not be worth it.

Y not get invidia with HFC?

Can anyone in Burlington/Hamilton area recommend a place that can swap out my start/stop with the Red GTR button I purchased?

I have neither the desire nor knowledge to do it myself so just want a local shop that will charge me an hour labour and get it done..

If you can wait until spring you can hear mine. I have an exotic sound with 0 drone

ya, i like the HKS for looks! also sounds great..$1800. so, less then the ARK @ $1900

What shop is quoting your $1800? I was on THMotorsports site and they were selling the HKS Hi-power Exhaust for $2076 ( shipping incl. US unforunately:mad:) But I have some supplier in the US and can receive the package for me.

I've spoke with Tony at F.I and I do like the exhaust. The HKS is on the list to appease my wife. It is simply quieter than F.I

Haven't looked into invidia that much. I will review some sound clips and let you know what I think.

So you will still get HKS I assume :icon18:
