Walnut Blasting (CenCal)
Anybody have recommendations for walnut blasting service in Central Cali? I know SoCal has many with great prices, but driving 3+ hours for it seems a little too much; not to mention the challenges of arranging it to be done within a day. Along with the fact that nobody may want to touch a car that's just been driven multiple hours.
Would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Sai |

Where exactly in Central Cal? I live in Santa Maria (Northern Santa Barbara County) and drove to Rob @ Speed Logic in Fullerton (3hrs, 180 miles). I was there @ 10AM. He performed the Walnut Blast, changed the coils and a couple of other maintenance items and still had me back on the road by 1PM. Call/message him and he'll def take care of you.

so what's the verdict? U gna trust me or someone else to do it? OR u gna just nut up n buy the tools needed and perform this easy ass job urself?? Lol I think u should just do it urself.. I performed my own walnut blast only 5 months into my n54 ownership.. it's too easy.. just make sure u have the valves closed ALL THE WAY on the cylinder ur working on and have the rest taped closed.. The only hard part for me was getting that damn black junction box underneath the intake manifold off.. it took me about 30mins til I finally found a knife thin enough to slide into the slots to pull the box off.. everything else was a cake walk |

I'm too damn lazy to do it. Simple as that. I'm also wondering why all these shops in Central Cali are quoting me nothing south of $800 for this service if it was as quick and easy as you say it is. You have any pics of the work you've done? How many times have you done it? |

Could try Performance Dynamics in Santa Clara, think they charge around the $350 range. Might be less of a drive than going to Fullerton. The only downside is it's a popular shop and it may take some time to get in. Here's the website, just fill out a work request and they'll get you set up. https://www.performancedynamicsj.com/contact
