What would you do? A shop "borrows" your car...

[BabyZiLLa]

While the situation sucks. Think of it this way.. Its winter. So she was going to be in storage anyways.. And now you've got someone bank rollling your winter rebuild project.



Id be fuckin livered if it was me but trying to make light of the good in the situation.

[Mr. Anderson]

Well this story is relevent to your thread so i just dont want to make a new one and waste even more space, My uncle has a ford torino Cobra that he just recently rebuilt, and he was under the suspision that the shop that was doing the engine and interior was driving it around, because when my uncle would get the car back there would be small stones melted into his tires, and dirt on his brand new 3,000CAD paint job. So we did this, when we turned the car in we took a picture of the odometer next to his drivers license and informed them if even 1 more km goes on were calling the buisness beurea(sp?), we also took measurements of how dead the tread was ebcause every time my uncle got it back the tread kept seeming to get worn away, and awe thought that was it. BUT when i stayed the night at his house we decided we were boared to go to a thing they have in winnipeg called sunday night cruising( I was on vacation at the time im from t.o) and were waiting at the red light for some sweet cars. GUESS WHAT PULLS UP NEXT TO US. My uncles torino cobra, the head mechanic is driving it !!. We dont stop him immediately we follow him for a bit. He peeled out a total of four times and attempted to race a charger R/T we followd him back to his house with the police on the phone and confronted him. he had nothing to say and was charged alot thanks to me and my cell phone cam, so he got theft, and wreckless driving.
and for those of you who care here is the car


A couple months later the news spread and his shop went out of buisness. You have to press on these inds of shop just because what might have happened

[NISMONEWF]

man that sucks .. this is why i trust no one with my car !! period .. i do all my own work and no problems ... man if they dont pay for the new engine and rebuild take them to court with the contract they signed and demand the replacment plus compensation for the trouble you went through ... god **** like this really boils my blood ...

Well, I think we should all have an option from Nissan where we can install one of those chip-activated ignition locks. My dad's '02 Dakota has one. If its the master key, the car will start, if its the copy, it'll start, but the security light will blink, and after 10 seconds, the engine cuts off.

Or, maybe, they should invent a clutch and shift lock, where you can't depress the clutch pedal and shift the car out of neutral or 1st gear.

That sounds like an amazing idea I believe you should get that a copy right or patent for it cause think about it some one steals your car and cant put it in gea there not going anywhere, but it should have different setting like with the computer so you can say only allowed to shift into 1st when u leave it

[Miki01]

Heh, I have no idea where to get a patent or copyright. And even worse, I wouldn't have a clue where to start designing a real-life version of that idea!

Its calle a PowerFC. Drop the Rev limiter to 2500 and unhook the controller. If they take your car out there not going too fast.

Werd, I set mine to like 1500 rpm so they know they arent going anywhere before they even try to go anywhere....2500 rpm could cause problems if they try to pull out infront of traffic...1500 rpm your not going anywhere at all.

[Mr. Anderson]

and the name of the shop is?

C'mon man we know your not THAT stupid...

Your right, im not. I realize you have answered a few times but I still want to know the name of the shop, and I will keep asking. I am pissed off as should eveyone else on here. You came on here saying there is this bad shop out there that ****** you over, yet you won't tell us the name of the shop, Its like one of my friends telling me, hey man I just got HERPE-GONA-SYPHA-AIDS from this chick you probably know, but im not telling you who.


what donk should do is just claim it on insurance, have the shop charged and if they are lucky they will keep their business, this is serious ****.. You guys think its all good to set a rev limiter and that your all good and safe.. shops can get around that no problem, and even if they didnt and still drove your car around with a 2500 rpm limit or something its still theft and something horrible can still happen, and if caught they should still get the full bendover, because they thought they could bend you over, karma kills.

Either way, I believe EVERYONE should know the name of the shop especially since it doesn't seem they even fixed the damage caused to donks GTR yet..

[donk_316]

Your right and I wish it was that simple.

The damage has been assessed to include the engine, clutch and both turbos... Subracing is just waiting for pricing before they go ahead with whatever they have planned. Im not even in Canada yet and havent been for the last 30 days. When I know something I will post.

If anyone in the Edmonton area is thinking of having stereo or alarm / starter etc etc work done. Please PM me first and tell me where you are going. Ill let you know if you should cancel your appointment.

[Mr. Anderson]

alright man.. don't take it the wrong way I am still very sympathetic for you and hope it all works out for your benifit. poor skyline

[starboy869]

any updates?

I would try for a new engine straight from a Nissan JPN dealer.
