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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
