Custom Engine Shop in SoCal for G35/350Z



I'm in search of an engine shop in SoCal that could rebuild and customize my VQ35 Engine in my '05 G35 Coupe

Very long story, but the gist is that my engine is wrecked due to lack of lubrication (not my fault though, previous owners didn't break in engine properly and skipped many an oil change) so I found out the hard way that the engine burns through 3-4 quarts of oil in 3-4 months time. I am getting screwed on the replacement with the Infiniti service network AND the original dealer I purchased from (Huntington Beach Ford), so f*ck them both.

This is my last option since I am not planning to pay $8-10k for a direct Infiniti replacement, when I could likely pay half that and have something that would be worth it. I am quite new with this, but am fairly mechanically apt so any advice/explanation you could give would be very helpful. FYI, the Infiniti dealer refuses to take apart the engine (without me paying for it) to tell me specific problems with it, so please don't bother asking.

Someone who specializes or has done this before on Nissan/Infiniti motors (especially this engine model) in the LA area would be perfect.

I'll await the recommendations, thanks all for your time

Edo Performance in HB is selling that

Unless you want to put your stock motor back in, but if you want a new motor and want your bang for the bucks and real power, ^^^ there you go, look into it if you want, just trying to help.

I actually love my car so much that if the engine goes I'll replace it with something like the above. I invested a lot of money, time, and love into the car to lose it.

Do some searching. The RB is a horrible swap. The guy should take a built shortblock and twin turbo it, or twin turbo a VK45 V8 like tecni

GT Motorsports is a great option to look into. Go to my350z.com and you will see tons of threads about work that GTM has done. But any of the shops mentioned above can do the work and are good options too. Just do some research on here and my350z.com so that you can make the best choice for yourself and your G. Good luck bro.
