Any shops in SC that are good with sr20's? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Squirrelly180 · 08-31-2010, 05:30 PM

I don't know of any shops around here and need some help. I know there's plenty in Atlanta, but what else would any one recommend?

aps13 · 08-31-2010, 08:22 PM

Showzone in Ladson, SC is one of the best out there. Its about ten minutes from north charleston. I would recommend them to anyone.

Squirrelly180 · 09-01-2010, 03:36 PM

Thanx bro!

anyone else?

Good people down to earth always a good choice for sure. Legit people for sure.

laocivic · 09-07-2010, 02:33 PM

NSPerformance in the upstate is great. The owner dave is a cool guy and always down to help out anyone.

NickIsAZero · 09-09-2010, 08:38 PM

I'm no shop, but I have alot of useful information that I don't mind passing along to you. I've been to Showzone a couple times, never had anything done but like Matt said earlier they're very down to earth.

Okinawandrifter87 · 09-09-2010, 09:33 PM

Also you get what you pay for so there's Enjuku Racing in Fl if your down for the drive. I'm located at Beaufort, SC and looking to get my car tuned soon when I get back from deployment as well.

sd8ted · 09-27-2010, 10:04 PM

Japanese Auto Specialist's in Greenville are great too. They've done most of the major work to my car and the owner Bill is a great honest guy that won't give you the run around. He also just got a dyno put in and has been dynoing cars.

Okinawandrifter87 · 09-28-2010, 01:02 AM

How familiar is he with SR's though. Not like just dyno and call it a day but optimum performance and know's his stuff. Kinda like Steve Shadows.

sd8ted · 09-29-2010, 10:02 PM

well hes got a personal 1/8th mile drag s13 sr20 with a powerglide in it and an awesome yellow 280z with a rb25 in it, its whats his logo's modeled after lol. and everytime i stop by there hes working on a rb or sr swap. and some of these people trailer their cars up here from GA, FL. seen the "general lee supra" up 2 weeks ago gettin dyno tuned, badass car. he's been working on my car for almost 5 years now and i have no complaints.

Okinawandrifter87 · 09-30-2010, 05:21 AM

Do you know what kind of dyno he has? Experience working with a Apexi FC? Dyno rates around?

DrIvEsldEwAyS · 09-30-2010, 08:27 PM

show zone is familiar with the power fc, their tuner colin has a r34 gtr, they are really big into drifting..give them a call

onehundredoctane · 11-10-2010, 11:52 AM

I'll vouch for Showzone all day, those guys know what they are doing tuning cars. I've seen RB25 S13, SR20 S14, SR20 S13, you name it, they've tuned it and done a great job! A friend sent his RB25 S13 there and it had a few problems that were causing it to shutter under boost at higher rpms, when the car came back it was strong as ever.

whitefedorafilms · 12-14-2010, 08:21 PM

I'd reccomend REP Automotive all day long. White Horse Rd in Greenville. the owner Virgil can build anything. he's especially good with RB's and SR's. not too mention he can build any Honda motor blindfolded.

Yeah NSP is a good place to go as well. It used to have a bad rep because of one terrible employee. no names but his shop lost a lot of credit. but Dave will help out. the prices for people he doesnt know may be a tad higher but he won't screw anyone over if they seem legit.

Yeah Bill is a good guy too. i went to school with his son Austin Wilson, and his friend Felix. they both can build a car or figure out what the issue is. Bill's 6.3 second SC61 automatic SR20 S13 hatch holds up constantly.

bkuhl · 12-14-2010, 08:52 PM

What ever happened to GSC Motorsports in Charleston?

SleepR 240sx · 12-19-2010, 11:11 AM

Bill at Jap Auto is probably the best guy in the Greenville/Upstate area.

If your talking about the Virgil I know then yes, he really can do anything honda related blindfolded. He knows what he's doing on about anything.

As far as NSP, I avoid them. Used to use them a lot but I lost faith in their ability to do good quality work. I'll stop by for parts but thats it. He does have lots of parts though, usually has 5 or 6 shells sitting outside the shop.

Urotrsh · 12-20-2010, 01:53 PM

I've always heard Rims and Things is good place to buy parts and such! There is Greenville. Been called JDM heaven by some people lol

scoob · 12-30-2010, 10:03 PM

Anybody from Goose Creek/North Charleston area? my lady friend and I are probably moving up there withing the next 1-3 years, but I don't want to be completely out of touch with my 240's... you know?

rb25s13vert · 12-31-2010, 07:58 PM

im pretty new to the area as well. how far is showzone from beaufort. are they familiar with aem or megasquirt???

aps13 · 01-01-2011, 11:11 AM

^^not sure how far it is, probably a couple hours. I believe they are familiar with aem but i'm not sure about megasquirt.

rb25s13vert · 01-02-2011, 11:37 AM

what about haltech?

They might be able to, he has never said anything about haltech.

Heres their number-843.873.4071
Give them a call and they will help you the best they can.

DrIvEsldEwAyS · 01-13-2011, 05:55 PM

Rims an things is a joke. Nsp is where it's at in the upstate.

S13NismoStyle · 01-14-2011, 02:37 PM

+1 on Bill Wilson

Depending on what you need, I would talk with Bill Wilson at Japanese Auto Specialists in Greenville, SC. I honestly wouldn't let Rims&Things, TDC Auto, or NSPerformance touch anything owned by me. The only thing those places are good for is finding parts locally if your in a bind and are shitting money. Far too many horror stories have come from those places and I've seen it first hand.

What kind of work do you need done?

I definately agree. Chris at TDC fucked over my friend who traded 2 cars for his silver 350z with sts kit. He gave chris cash to pay for and put on a new front bumper because the current one was broke under the front mount. A week went by and he said the car was at the body shop. Another week and the car was still at the shop. He finally popped in one day and there sat his car, hadn't moved since he dropped it off. They didnt even have the courtesy to pull it into the garage.

Another friend had a nistune installed at TDC, which took 3 weeks and they screwed it all up. He took it to Bill and within a week he had his car back.

Can't wait till tax time! Getting my injectors, nistune and tune! Hoping for atleast 350whp.

BTW ANYBODY LOOKING FOR A GT2560R? I GOT ONE FOR SALE. MSG ME IF INTERESTED

laocivic · 01-29-2011, 12:40 PM

I will personally vouche for NSP all day long. I'd bet my life on them. I know all the guys there and know they do good work. TDC is shit. They will screw you over in a heartbeat and i also personally will vouche for that as i've been there at the shop when the owner was talking about ripping off a kid on an SR swap. JAP AUTO is probably best for overall Nissan in the upstate though.

laocivic · 01-29-2011, 12:41 PM

Rims and things is a parts only shop...They do have most jdm parts that you can't find anywhere else, a huge selection of wheels and exhausts, but are extremely shady.
