Plus, you'll see some absolutely wicked Nissan builds while you're there. R34's, R33's, R32's, S13's, S14's, S15's and plenty of Z's from all eras.

Z Fever / Fever Racing, has a shady past according to google.
I'd say its 50/50 whether they do a good job or...not.

Good Luck

Different Derek (not sure why all Nissan mechanics are named Derek lol), but wife and I have been using our friend Derek for all our Nissan maintenance since 2009. He is the BEST Nissan mechanic in the country imo. And no that’s not hyperbole, dude can rebuild a gtr dct trans overnight with one hand tied behind his back. (Ok, the one handed part is hyperbole).

Thanks guys! Not so much a financial issue, but rather my car can't go 10 miles without the clutch pedal going soft and losing clutch fluid. And towing it there is going to cost a pretty penny (prob. more than the job itself lol).

And yes, the reviews and horror stories of Fever Racing is what's scaring me :ugh2:

Any chance ya'll want to make a trip to Tampa and help a fellow Z brother? :rofl2:

We need to get Huck and Matt (Osiris) in on this as well. And of course we can’t forget spoiler since he is also now rocking a BMW sports car. :icon17:

I’m sure there’s plenty others I’m forgetting.

Been doing tons of research on shops in Tampa that specialize in Z's/G's. Fever Racing is most likely out of the question, as I've heard/read horror stories about that.

I came across Full Send Motorsports and Performance of Tampa and seeing if anyone had any experience with them. I tried looking at their website and it looks like there is another similar shop but located in GA. I checked out their FB page and it seems like they know what they are doing and mostly positive reviews, but need relevant opinions from those that have work done by them.

So this week some jerk decided he was more important than everyone else and tried to illegally go around me while exiting the gas station (the truck in front of me was carrying glass replacement windows and I knew he wasn’t going to speed out into traffic but I guess the jerk behind me couldn’t wait the extra 30 seconds). So said jerk slammed into my 370Z causing a whole lot of damage. Any recommendations on a quality body shop around Tampa area?
