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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
