angry_dave24 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 I was just wandering if any of you have heard of ZFever in Tampa FL. If so, what do you guys think of them? I need honest answers here. I am about to drop my car off there, a 1972 240Z and have the VQ35 swap done, with tranny, stainless exhaust, and maybe an R-200 LSD. I would do it myself, but alas, my experience is novice at best, and I am about to go to Korea for a year. The army sucks by the way. Hey maybe while I am over there and in close proximity to Japan, I could score some good parts for you guys, just charge you the cost of the part, plus shipping. It would be an excuse to go to Japan.

turboHLS30 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 They're really good from what I have heard. They've built some pretty serious cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_dave24 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the reply. I am just looking for a good bout of confidence as I am planning on spending approximately $9,500 or more to do the VQ35 swap with them. I know I can get a good engine and tranny with ecu for probably around 2500, but then I have to get the programming to remove the NATS and all that jazz. From what Doug at ZFever tells me, 9500 will get it running and driving DEPENDABLY with a stainless exhaust. So would you guys say that is a good deal or no. Strangely enough, the wife is convinced, but I am skeptical. Edited October 25, 2010 by angry_dave24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboHLS30 Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 They know what they're doing. They've been at it for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 seems expensive to me, but I'm a cheapskate and I'm doing it all myself. I would ask what kind of warranty are they offering, and does that price include painting the car? Suspension upgrades? or is this ONLY engine/exhaust? A lot of people DIY for about half that. I'm about 2800 into my swap including engine and the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry_dave24 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Share Posted October 31, 2010 As much as it hurts my pride, and wallet, by no means do I have the talent, nor time, to do it all myself. I am having him mount the engine and all that. The rest of the car I will do myself. I am not doing a crazy build, I just want a nice daily driven 240z that is clean. I dropped the car off yesterday and toured the shop. He has a lot of really nice toys there, talked to his mechanics to try and get a picture of they're knowledge. His dyno guy seemed like that really smart guy that lives in his moms basement. Nice dude though. Really knows his ****. So in a year I will be back from Korea, and I told him, he is not getting paid unless that car drives dependably. We will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman0690 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I cannot speak from personal experience, only what others have said, but I wish you the best of luck with using them under your circumstances and that's all I'm going to say.
