Hey all

I wanted to introduce ourselves to the 370Z Community. We opened our doors to our new facility April 1st of this year. We are an aftermarket sales and tuning specialty shop. We sell some of the finest products from all over the world, and pair them to the very best installation and maintenance experience. We work on many makes and brands from Nissan GTR's and Porsche 911TT's to BMW M3/M5's and Audi S4/S5's. Unlike many shops, our expertise does not reside in cars from just one country.


Many of our cars can be seen on the track...



And most days you can find some great cars getting worked on in the shop or just hanging out for a bbq...





For those interested we are offering special introductury prices to 370Z members on regular maintenance, parts and services. Give us a call and lets see what we can do for you on your next build or install.

Hey Scott, welcome to the370z forum.

I stopped by Kaizen Tuninig a couple of weeks ago and it is an impressive shop. When it comes to my car, I am very particular, like I am sure most Z owners are. After meeting Scott and his crew, I was very impressed. In fact, they will be installing an oil cooler in my Nismo in a few weeks.

Welcome aboard,
Jim

UpRev seems to be the weapon of choice on these 370's now that Cobb has kind of left the stage.

Thanks all for the comments. Our facility, although home like looking, was the pre-center for Acton Toyota (wash clean and install options before delivery) so when I toured it, and saw parking for 50+ cars, I knew it was perfect.

Hope to talk to you all soon about your 370Z mod needs.

It's nice to know that there is a local option for me. Do you have an alignment rack?

So I imagine you have a brake lathe? Can you resurface 2-piece slotted rotors? They're not grooved but I have uneven build up I can't remove.

Well, I'm certainly too far to utilize it, but I'm assuming your alignment rack is in ground right? My car, for example, is too low to go onto any other type of alignment rack without being a little creative haha.

Anyways, welcome to the site!

Our rack is not in the ground, but we use long ramps (10 feet) to get the low cars on it. My GTR is low, and rolls onto our rack without a problem.

On the lathe, we do not have a brake lathe as of yet, but have access to many. We have not seen the need as of yet for one.
