Holy **** how can a shop like that even still exist. Thats just terrible i hope the guy gets back some of his 250k and the shop gets whats coming to them.

Found a similar story dealing with the same shop.

Just read that whole thing. IDK what i would do. Think after the first built motor blew I would have been gone.

All he has to do is call the shops insurance company if the shop refuses to take care of him.

Just read through it all. I would be pretty livid if that was me. The owners response is weak and inexcusable. Respondeat superior...

I just read the GT-R and G37 story. Holy balls. Great way to kill an hour at work, but it pissed me off that a shop can butcher such nice cars and think they can get away with it!

that's pretty horrifying that people could hack up a skyline like that, some of it is downright borderline dangerous... you gotta be careful dumping your car at a shop... making good parts and putting together good builds are two wildly different animals... i've been extremely lucky to have dealt with jay@n2mb on my srt4 build and frank/nas@pride-motorsports ... nothing has ever been half assed or done in an unclean/unsafe fashion.

Meanwhile wtf spends a quarter million on a GTR? You could do so much better in car choices. Other then that, that's the worse screw over I've seen ever. That shop should be burned, owner shot.

Who spends 250k in GTR mods?? People who want 1000+ realiabe awhp.

My question is: if they were bull****ting with the car, whyyyyyyyy would you keep giving them more money? To the point of a QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS!?? C'mon son. The shop obviously ****ed up but the owner doesn't sound too bright either. Not to mention that same shop destroyed a: 350z,g37, and lotus and that's what's public. Who know what other horror stories were never made public

rocknrace03 05-12-2013 01:01 PM

my favorite picture is the one with all the washers stacked. i would even do that own car! hope they never touch another car.

Foolinaround 05-12-2013 02:31 PM

Read about it on the vortex the other day in the shop with a bunch of the other techs; couldn't believe it

Shipman 05-12-2013 02:51 PM

And the 250 was allegedly spent on 4 different cars over the years along with wheels and other stuff, not all on just that one GTR

Foolinaround 05-12-2013 04:58 PM

Y'all should really read the thread

HatchSurfer3 05-12-2013 06:44 PM

Yea the 250k wasn't all on the gtr build. Regardless of the money spent the downright poor quality of the work isn't worth anything.

I think the pic the guy randomly posted with no text at all is the owner of the shop, Sharif

Shipman 05-12-2013 07:07 PM

Yeah like rocknrace03 said the washers were my favorite, classic mod

VETTE_50_TH 05-12-2013 08:24 PM

What a joke. All you can do is laugh.

schaffer 05-13-2013 01:13 AM

Unreal. For that kind of money he could have sent the car off to ams for the alpha 12 treatment.
