I did go to another workshop and they told me that standard injectors world only handle 210kw and i have proof that mine did 265kw. they also said that my turbo wouldn't handle over 250kw but is has, twice, on two different dynos. so i don't know who to talk too.

they were right... standard injectors pushing 265 rwkw is just stupid... 220-230 is the general consensus. of course you CAN cheap out on an fpr and bump up the rail pressure on your 15 year old squirtes to run them at 99% duty... but why would you? would you bungee jump with 15 a year old bungee that was stretched to 99% of its capacity? didn't think so....

Been there done that with this sort of issue.... a number of times.

Unless you can prove their work is the cause of the problem you probably going to have a hard time getting any money back. If it gets nasty id give them the option to fix and tell them you will trash their business as much as you can if they dont.

Threaten to post an add in a local paper or something like that.

be reasonable 1st - see what the guy is offering. if he wants to charge you 5k+ to rebuild the engine, then see if you can reach some sort of agreement. if he won't budge you can always talk to Consumer Affairs.

as most have said, yo may be better off going elsewhere.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
