Nissan Dealer (or any shop) in the Bay that can do oil cooler install over weekends?

Ventruck · 07-16-2016, 12:08 AM

As much as I'd love to run with a specialty shop like Zcar (who probably knows the car better than most dealers), I really can't drop work days and my Z is a DD.

I've heard of some dealers being able to do the Nismo oil cooler install, but I was wondering about the Bay Area in particular. If a non-dealer can do it, I would consider going with the Z1 25-row instead. Key part is weekends, and reputable work. I know I can't expect the cheapest price around since I assume my choices are limited.

Where in California are you? I have guys that do this work on weekends.

Bumping (although it's not far from the top) this thread looking for any more suggestions.

onzedge has been great help, and led me to two resources. One of which I'm strongly considering, although it's gonna be a trip.

Not to 180 this thread but priorities also shifted over to clutch-related work (CSC/CMC/Flywheel/Clutch) as I had a bit of a sticky pedal the other week. I'd be arriving with parts and fluids on-hand. Got the South Bend Stage 2 package at ZSpeed and on that note, Joe's been great at clarifying and communicating with me. Clutch just needed to be shipped separately from South Bend, but everything else came to my door.

Found a local place that says they can do the work. Positive responses on Yelp and such, but I'm not 100% sure they can do this as reliably as the other place in the running (a community go-to dealer). Gonna try to get the shift knob off for starters so that's one less potential thing to go wrong.
