They're a pretty decent shop, but they take forever. $2800 installed is pretty decent, but you can probably get it done faster for a little bit more through Garage Boso or Shutoko Engineering

g dimension does take kinda a long time to do a swap.

but they do great work, great Quality, and 2800 is a pretty fair price.

G Dimension does a great job. They will make your swap look nice. I definately would do it with them.

G Dimension is a great shop. They have been in business long enough to know everything that go on with SR. They also stand behind their products. Even I am up in Seattle now, I still call James to get parts that i need. Yea but sometimes, they are pretty slow with swap though. But would you rather have a shop that rush up your car or spend time to actually work on your car?

There's a difference between taking your time to do it right and working on 100 cars and taking 3 weeks to do an SR swap. Shutoko's swaps generally come out better than G-dimensions, IMO, and they have them done in a few days. Not to mention they're right down the street from G-dimensions. Not downing G-dimensions, just they tend to bite off way more than they can chew.

I think G-dimension is excellent shop for a street car project, james has been around doing swaps since 1993 and is probably the best person in socal to trouble shoot 240sx with.

Pricing wise that is quite fair and while g-dimension takes a while they tend to do a very good job electrically/ wiring harness. Thats why i'd use them, mechanically u can always change things around to make it cleaner or messier but the wiring james and his ppl do is very good and hard to compare.

I should know my s14 was wired by him in 2002, and he figured out Air Conditioning on it. And i ran it for 30k miles and for 6 years.

G-Dimension is good. James has other people do the work (Steven, etc.) but will occasionally jump in when he has time. I had g-dimension work on my s14 and I also had them price out a quote for my s13 sr swap. They added a few parts that I didn't request which drove the price up considerably so I went with Marco at sr20store because of the price. He also does all the work himself and he does excellent work.
