Ok, Well here is an update and I'm keeping it as brief as possible due to being so angry and further proceedings in place..

Went to repairer on Friday to see the progress of the the car, I noticed it still parked in front of mechanic who installed the engine, So i go up there and say hi to mechanic, He explains, Car has been running for about 2 weeks but repairer has said he will get it "when he's ready"...

So I go a few doors down to see repairer and get an on slough as he has been told several things, Along with some "guy"(edited) they both... Again. Cant say yet to due legal reasons. But i think you get the idea.

As far as they are concerned in the few words i am prepared to write, I've lost 14k to this guy and my car is gone too.

So mechanic has locked it away due to my quick request as owner of the car. Will be on truck on Monday at 9am to new workshop. All other parts have been arranged tomorrow.. LONG STORY!!!

In Summary.. Low200 made the BEST and safest choice early and i know of one other car there who is also going there tomorrow due to today's effort...

The MTRA are hopefully going to act accordingly due to importance of the situation.

Will advise ASAP as per situation as it happens.

Sorry for the Novel.. Just venting.... WOW!!!

Thanks dude, Time will be the hardest part of this process, But all will be kept up to date...

well from wat quite alot of people have been saying about j racing not sure where u get the facts from but that shop is far from wat u all talk it up as. im in the trade and know that shop inside out... there are alot of places i would recommend before there especially if ya car is crashed the dont even have car o liner there. if ya want a bodykit fitted they are the best by far but when it comes to damage.......

    • Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?
    • Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
