Hi Guys

I am about to purchase a new fiberglass Trust Style front bar from J Racing Australia (in Fishwick ACT) and wondered if any of you had had dealings with this company?

I was hoping someone could tell me if sending them $500 electronically was a wise move (given that there is never a 100% garantee with anything)

Thanks

Guy

There are a few topics in ACT section on NS.com. J-racing gets a mixed response, some say there ok, others say their dodgy and overpriced..

$500 for a trust style or a genuine trust bar? there's a big difference and make sure you clarify that before buying it. for $500 i'd hope to hell it's a genuine, not a 'trust style' front bar.

J racing are known for their widebody work as somebody else stated, but they're also known for their pricing and have a rep of being the place that ignorant boy-racer noobs go.

A genuine trust bar for $500 LOL

The genuine bottom lip is $800 alone

The bar itself is $450 for a glass copy (i need to add on freight costs as well), and if the quality is OK, this seems to be a good price (many fiberglass bars from other manufacturers are more expensive and the quality can be questionable)

They are also one of the few shops that make this particular bar in Australia (and they have it in stock)

$800 for a lower lip? regardless of what brand it is, that's ludicrous. i know genuine GTR parts are excessively pricey, but damn

glad i don't drive a skyline and have a penchant for gucci name brand bodykits lol

I think your money is safe and you may have better luck than I did. Will he let you hold some cash back for final inspection? If so, I would do that just to make sure it doesn't turn up damaged like mine, oops too late... I'd paid for it. Then had to pay someone to repair. He also promised overnight, 10 days later nothing and he wouldn't even return my calls. I wasn't happy.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
