Sounds awesome. What is their hourly labor rate?

They seem like a very high-end shop (which I love)...so I'm assuming it's up there in cost...but then again the New Yorker in me is just being pessimistic. I find myself extremely surprised by how cheap everything is down there. Hahaha

if i remember right it was 80-90hr

AlphaSnacks · 08-23-2012, 10:25 PM

Hahaha, yet another surprise for me. NY shops, no matter which shop you go to, charge $110-140.

Osiris · 08-23-2012, 10:31 PM

Well that will be cheap for you then! Let me know when you visit them, i live right around the corner from their shop.

Kidding.
FL is flat land no mountainous areas....Maybe some sharp curves but with city traffic I doubt if you can make a 60mile pass.

That is why I'm looking of moving to North Carolina up in the mountains if I can find a job. I like to leave in a cabin house.

Ok so I had a little problems with my z as some of you might know, had a nail in my tire, my fuel was contaminated, cleaned it out with fuel injector cleaner works fine now but my check engine light is still on, stopped sputtering and maintains good rpm at idle. But the VDC light comes on and loses power I'm thinking it might have been the tire but roamed around the threads with it and found it might be the throttle body, what do you guys think? I still am going to take it to Deland Nissan.

Describe "loses" power? Does the light stay on? Any other lights along with it? When this happens, can you rev the engine past 2500rpm? If you shut car off and back on do the symptoms go away?

It happens when i am on the highway or after I have been driving a while. Losing power meaning not much acceleration but still can go. It stays on but turns off when I turn on and off the car.

well, on the bright side, it doesn't sound like full limp mode...believe me, you'll know when that happens! Been there! But still, something ain't right, you taking it in tomorrow?

nismochiq · 08-27-2012, 06:32 PM

Probably and yes I'm glad it isn't full limp mode lol, I've got class so I am going to figure something out in between
