Recommendations of places to go to get parts/work done in So.Cal

If you can swing by Fresh Tint and you don't mind a few more miles towards the valley that would be good.

Kazidesu is on a distinguished road
Default Anyone know of a good place that works on exhausts?

There was this 7" wire that lodged itself under my 370z, and it punctured the covering underneath the car right behind the drivers side seat. When I propped it up on Jacks, I saw the whole and it looked okay. Now that I am driving the car, it feels a little weak. almost as if the car is gasping for air. It doesn't have the same kick that it used to. I wonder if my exhaust was has a leak somewhere.

Thanks.

prefer someone familiar w/ Z wiring, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds Like you tore the o2 sensor wire out somehow You would know if you had an exhaust leak due to sound, but if you have a wire that's stray under your Z and your car feels like its gasping for air it could be an o2 sensor malfunction to the ECU due to this wire being broken. I would take it to a shop and have them check for you and also would look at replacing the o2 sensor wiring if not entire o2 sensor as well

Yes, I'm quite familiar w/ them...they've done a bunch of work on my Z.

However, Seb told me they've never installed one of the JDMToy fog lights and he guesstimated 2-3 hors @ $125 an hour.

Deliriousclam says it took him about 35 mins.

Hmm... I would maybe suggest my shop but with shops you never know how long it will take until it is done usually.

Maybe a DIY or having a local member help you with the install on a certain day for some food and a case of beer

Sure. I don't object to paying someone to do it but, not 3X what the part costs.

Thanks, I'll ask around some more.

I'll ask my shop and see what they may charge too for you. I know they don't charge $125/hr to start off lol

A little more info will help.

How do you want tge light to function? Just constant when the headlights are turned on? Only brake lights? or both?

You need to get the 7443 dual circuit socket and bulbs if you want to have the dual function. Mine would turn on when the headlights are on, and brighter when I brake. just wire tapping into one of the tail light would give you that.

It's the same one sold buy IJDMToy..it has taillight, brake light & reverse light.

I know they have install instructions on their site but, I'm not skilled enough to do the job.

Called these guy about having a rear fog light & aluminum under tray installed on the Z https://www.yelp.com/biz/fast-autoworks-arcadia

Talked to Mike & was able to set an appointment for the next day.

They did an excellent job, in a timely manner and, best of all, for an incredibly decent labor rate! And, they'e open on Saturdays.

Seriously, this shop's labor rates are about 1/2 of what many other charge for the same work.

I'll definitely be returning in the future. I already plan on having them install new brake rotors & pads.

Give these guys a call. I highly recommend Fast Autoworks.

Thanks Tuan & Mike

Anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can hook me up with an UpRev tune? Looking to spend around $600

I only used Specialty Z in Chatsworth CA. I highly recommend them as they did an amazing job on my Z tuning work.
