Define "tuning"..
Do you need a tune?
Looking to get parts installed?
Looking to purchase parts?
Require basic maintenance?
....

I, along with many others, choose:
http://www.advancepowerhouse.com/
http://www.speedstar.com/

I brought my G to SG motorsports. Very nice guy and knows his stuff. Good thing too is that he races his 350z all over the place so he knows what he is talking about unlike most shop owners.

oh ya. A lot of shop owners race as well. Just saying some don't I have had bad experiences with some shops in the past claiming they are gurus when it comes to certain cars and then only to find out they did nothing for you and took your money

Also I should mention that I have only herd good things about powerhouse and simone's

I believe InTgr8r has dealt with Doner, he might be able to help you out there.

Swivelhips also had a good suggestion, Simone Performance are very knowledgable with Infinitis and many guys go there. They are on Mulock just a few blocks from Doner. http://www.simoneperformance.com/

I have had good dealings with Doner during warranty (very minor)

I have used Simone several times before and would highly recommend them!
Vic is a Nissan tech, so he knows his stuff.

He knows us here very well.
Just tell him the guys at G35Driver sent you.

shops in ontario (GTA)

Abi Motors
1365 Mid-way Blvd
Unit 37
Mississauga ON
L5T 2J5
647-261-4046 (Abi)

I think I might have found a new mechanic, has anyone heard of Abi Motors?

He works for Infiniti (Dixie/401) he told me also knows Vic and they used to work together.

I went to fix my compression rod, he quoted me $280 installed...The kijjii guy was selling the part for $250 alone.

All the cars at his shop were Infiniti gave me some reassurance as I couldn't find any info/feedback about him on g35driver.

Ended up not being my compression rod or anything else said it could be my coilovers (shock gone) making the "klunking" noise and was willing to get me a letter from Infiniti stating the coilovers are defective (As they are still under 1 year warranty)

Check him out his rates are good and he's in the GTA!!! (for the WEST SIDEEEE people)

Tell him Jindy with the LOW gcoupe referred you.

I will also let you guys know his rate for door lock actuator (OEM) installed...problems after problems
