Can anyone recommend me or does anyone here know who the best Z32 mechanic is in "Edmonton, Alberta" or close by to Edmonton, Alberta?

I have a couple car's I have in mind and might be going there to take a look this next week so if I really end up liking one and the price is a little negotiable then I'd want to get a PPI done it for sure by a mechanic who know's his Z32 inside out.

Thanks.

Sweet, thanks a-lot.
If I may ask, do you know Ron personally since you recommended him to look at the Z32?
Is he very experienced with the 300ZX?

Just checked their online website which lists the Ericksen Nissan staff (https://www.gonissan.ca/staff/ericksen-nissan). Is it "Ronald Munoz" of whom you're talking about?
Just double checking.

Thanks again.

I don't know him personally, although he used to work on my car before I learned how to do my own wrenching.

Ron Nease is the name. His name is highly recommended by the Edmonton Z car club.

Another is aero car parts, Rick S is the owner. Or Jesse at speedtech

Awesome, thanks for all the information.

That's awesome.
I am actually in Cold Lake (~3.5hrs) away from you.

Do you know any of the Edmonton z car club member's who want to or are selling their z32?
If there is a certain z32 you know that's in great condition that might be up for grabs let me know.
I'm heading to Edmonton on Tuesday.

Looks like you are getting some great help here, awesome!
I figured I'd toss in an assessment of the car listed above- it looks very clean, and I like that the owner listed the few flaws it has honestly. I personally am also a big fan also of the styling pieces used, very tasteful car. The engine work looks very proper and of very high quality components, all very correct and with all necessary things addressed.
My only concern is whether you want a modified car or not, as the price here is a bit high for traditional values and asks you to pay for some mods which most people don't do, unless unable to do it themselves or have it done properly. The car in no way is worth more or less because of the work other than having fresh components, but taking care of a modified TT is different than a "normal" TT as well as more expensive to have repaired, plus you want to use the builder if at all possible since he knows the creation better than anyone else can- all to be factored into that modded vs. not decision. I personally LOVE my modified Z, but it's not for everyone for sure given the above, and also because it takes some experience and added driving skill when the power is on.
Good Luck!
