Message So, after picking up my '94TT back in march, i soon realized it had a ton more problems then i first anticipated. Despite having it 'inspected' by a local nissan performance shop, i found out AFTER purchasing it that the motor had low compression, oil in the 6th cylinder, and by the time Harry was finished, i had found out about a multitude of other problems.

Despite only having the car for a few days before realizing that it basically needed a total rebuild, i decided to proceed anyway. I was already in love with the car. Initially i was just going to order a rebuilt motor and then take it from there. As far as the motor was concerned, some local z32 friends of mine recommended Ztuner.

I called Harry and he was extremely helpful with helping me figure out what i needed. At no point did i feel pressured to get more than i really needed or wanted as far as modifications. We finalized what kind of build i wanted, after a few conversations i made the decision to actually ship the car down to him in Sarasota and have him perform all the work.


Harry kept me totally informed every step of the way. He kept me in the loop about every issue there was, and his recommendation on what to do to fix it. I knew that by the time he was finished, i wouldn't have lingering issues that he had overlooked. Part of the reason i went with him was because i didn't want to go out and spend a ton of money and time, 'finish' my car, and then still problems all the time.

Doing business with Harry was a great experience. He knows this car inside and out and his level of professionalism, perfectionism, and honesty have made this experience an absolute pleasure. I wanted a fast and reliable street car, and that is exactly what he delivered. I would highly recommend Harry to anyone who needs work done to their Z for anything from a tune, to a rebuilt motor.
