Millenium is a great place they have done all the work on my WRX and have done a great job on it. Ask for Grey he knows a lot about Nissans.

Re: does anyone know a good shop
I've never had work done at any shop in Hampton Roads (performance or maintenance), but any technician with basic experience should be able to tell you why your idle is messed up.
The only reason I say that is because I dunno how Millenium works/charges or if you can get the hookup, but an hour of diagnostic time is an hour of diagnostic time no matter where you go. Unless they do diag. for free, I'd just take it to Merchants (and not because I'm employed there). They'll check to see if you're getting enough spark. They'll check to see if you're getting enough fuel. They (meaning Merchants technicians) get cars like yours in EVERYDAY with only symptoms to go by. They probably couldn't even begin to tell you how to install your nitrous kit, but some guys can pick out a seized distributor just by listening to it.

Yo, i used to work at American Pride Automotive up on route 17 by wall mart if you know where im talking about.... dont go there, go to the place next door. its called custom car care, they specialize in Nissan and Honda cars. I will warn you now, they do very good work, but your going to pay for it.
