Performance knowledge developed through competition
Not an ordinary garage
Nick's Garage brings engine building, transmission work, calibration, chassis setup and motorsport support into one development process.
Engine building and specialist gearbox repair are carried out in-house at our Cyprus workshop, including Nissan GTR GR6, Audi R8 and Lamborghini transmissions. We also provide confidential engine and transmission services to professional workshops undertaking competition and high-performance projects.
The workshop grew from Japanese performance platforms into drag racing, Time Attack, drift and circuit programmes. That experience now supports serious road cars as well as complete competition builds.
Based in Livadia, Larnaca, Nick's Garage supports customers across Cyprus with ECU remapping, performance engine building, gearbox and driveline work, standalone ECU installation and wiring, custom ECU tuning and 2WD and 4WD dyno development. Explore race-car builds and season preparation.
