Alsalam alaykm,

I just moved to Sharjah, UAE and wanted to say hi to everyone here. I brought my GTR with me, and so far I'm enjoying it to the max on the smooth roads you guys got here!

I wanted to ask you guys about where should I take the car for the 5000 KM maintenance service or any service for that matter? How much would it cost me exactly? And what/where are my alternatives?(I heard there are reputable shops in the UAE that can do this using a huge range of different oils/fluids)

Also, what are the best tunning and modification shops in Dubai? There are too many! I'm currently looking for anyone to discuss some modification plans with, and I have ALOT of questions, so please if you know anyone, make sure he's REALLY patient lol.

I'm a newbie and I have no clue what to do or where to go from here, so please mention whatever comes into mind!

Salam,
Badr

Welcome to the UAE

I take my car to subzero for regular maintenance, cheaper than the dealer and they can drop your trans and clean the solenoids if you wish

Regarding modification plans, discuss them on the forum as we are the least biased group

Business is business and everyone will try to sell his own product or services

What is your HP goal or Budget?

Ahlan Badr,

Welcome to the UAE! Wait until you drive Abu Dhabi roads, they are even better than the northern emirate roads!

I agree 100% with Max_R35 and you will get good service and pricing from Subzero for the routine maintenance. The Nissan dealers pricing is in line with that around the world, but all know that is very high.

Like above your modifications plan needs to be sorted, there are a number of companies all with GTR experience in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and fortunately some of them are active here on the forum so you can make contact easily. There is a growing common list of companies now to see regarding the GTR, they are:
1. Subzero
2. Panda Performance
3. Tensai Tuning
4. TAM

Plus the forum member GTR_70700; owner of the fastest GTR in UAE, has just started a new workshop in Sharjah.

Good luck and hope to meet you soon.

Daniel.

AUS is mostly Arab speaking students and well the education there is decent.

AUD is about parties all day errday. AUD isnt known for studies.
