i am going to have a 3.9 fd and possibly a utec that will need installed/tuned. who do you guys use in vegas? my parts guy in phoenix do some business with shops in vegas but they are mostly supra shops. do any of you guys use local vegas shops or go to socal and phoenix?

Most shops out here are modest at best. If you want something done right, go to Phoenix or SoCal. I think there are maybe one or two out here. Do a search for good shops in Vegas.

SinCity350Z

Get it done anywhere but Vegas. I have had nothing but bad experiences with both my 350Z and Chevelle with Vegas shops. Ty did a diff swap. Ask him where he did it.

im not quite familiar with peoples names yet, you will have to give me his username.

i figured that i was gonna have to go elsewhere. i wish i could get all the parts in time to do it here... we have 2 Z shops within 30 minutes of me... but it doesnt look like its gonn happen.

who do you guys use outside of vegas? does anyone have utec on their car yet?

Tobizach

Yup nothing but mediocre to bad experiences here as well and we've been here since 92, from an olds, chrysler, mazda and a yamaha no matter the make, bike or car. the smallest things are so hard to get down right here, not to mention getting parts

Since 1996 we just go on over to Socal to get things done. For the Z, Performance Nissan, bought our Z there as well.

PS Ty is "roneski"

I got mine done at Performance Nissan in Duarte, CA. They are about the most mod friendly dealer on the planet and they do good work.

UTEC, huh? Are you FI? I'm thinking about getting UTEC in the future...

From what I've heard, Performance Nissan should be the best place to go. I'll b heading down there 29-31 Jan and will drop by to pick up a few things (spacers & possibly springs!)

I'll be there for Chinese New Year too, so the parts are mostly, if not all, paid for.

no im NA for now, but i have seen the results that Z1 had on their NA car and i think i will go that route. i was going to have a unichip tuned here at scott performance but utec is a far superior product so i am going to go with it (perfect for when i eventually go FI too)

pope

how far is performance nissan from vegas??

roneski

It's in LA, about 4-4.5 hours away depending on traffic.

pope

damn, i didnt realiz it took that long to get to LA. we usually made it from vegas to phoenix in 4 hours and i thought it was closer to LA

but on the drive to phoenix you can go pretty fast most of the way.

roneski

You can to LA too, I was being conservative. I've never seen a CHP between state line and Barstow.

pope

gotcha thanks
