Our Story
Jamal and Nick started J5 Garage in 2026. Jamal is a qualified mechanic, has been in the industry since 2013 and has owned and wrenched on many MX5s. He’s a calm, humble and hard working individual that is driven by getting the car running better than it was before.
Nick has had a diverse career so far, ranging from DJ/Producer, Exercise Physiologist, Photographer and a few other things along the way. He strives for perfection and has an eye/ear for the small things. Eg: that annoying rattle, the flashing light on the dash, the wiper cap that’s missing. He’s owned over 20 MX5s and has a passion for making them as good as possible.
Jamal helped Nick build his 1996 BRG Mx5 out of his home garage over a summer. It was a vvt + 6sp + turbo conversion running on a Haltech ecu. The car went from a quick engine swap to somewhat of a mini restoration project. Little did they know that this project was the first of many, that naturally led to the purchase of our workshop in Molendinar and thus the start of J5 Garage.
Experience, Passion and High Quality Workmanship is what we strive to bring to MX5 owners. Jamal is the type of Mechanic that has a 6th sense. He knows when the car just isn’t running right and will struggle to sleep at night until he finds the reason and fixes it. As these cars age and the ownership of them swap hands multiple times the maintenance history is usually lost in translation. That’s where our J5 Health Check comes in. We will spend the time trying to piece together what the cars true condition is, what it needs and give the owners peace of mind that what they have will continue to run as trouble free as possible.
J5 Garage is working on bringing our 2.5lt NC (auto to manual swap) to the market and keeping it at the shop for all NC owners who read about the swap but haven’t experienced one. We want people to be able to feel what we can do to cars and how we can make them “better” than before. Same goes for the ND as well. As more owners want to start modifying these “newer” mx5s it’s important that we have done so to.
We want to provide knowledge, insight and feedback to all mx5 owners through experience and feel rather than just what the internet says. The MX5 is a “drivers car”, but everyone drives differently. Understanding you and what you want from your car is really important to us, so that we can deliver a service and finished product that increases your smile every time you jump in the mx5.
