J Racing

[RB ONEVIA]

there is a thread on NS about J Racing. its down atm so i cant post up the link. but for mechanicals go autotech

[r33skylinegtst]

im not going to attemt all this by myself as i am not experianced in working on the vehicle myself. trying to elarn but yer... lol. and it doesent help when i have a hybrid pipeing systam wich pretty much wont let me access my coilpacks lol.

thanks =)

I've got almost no mechanical knowledge and i still managed to put in Splitfires and new plugs in my car. I've got a hybrid kit as well but it didn't pose any extra trouble. Hardest part is getting clear access to them, once you've got to them rest is easy. Think there are a few guides floating around on here too if you do a search.

Jerry's workshop doesn't do any mechanical work on the engines anymore.

He specialises on bodykits, painting and panel beating.

I recommend Glen at ESP for engine mechanical work.

[INVRTD]

jerry did an excellant job on fixing my front bar, he did more work then asked (i had suggested getting it done, but not at the time) and gave me a great price, at off to jerry for his work.

[GTRKat]

I was happy at the time with Jerry and the boys when I needed some stuff fixed and didn't have much cash. You do however get what you pay for.

I've seen some awesome paint work of theirs though!

j racing has been around for a while! i remember the integra they did with the s15 front or sumthin like that, looked wikked, same as jerrys 200sx i think?

[Helious]

Provided its small, direct jobs which require little instruction (attach front bar, paint car etc) Jerry does a good job, and if he stuffs up he will fix it for free. But do note that he doesnt do mechanical or electrical anymore. He will send your car to Fast and Furious automotive for anything mechanical and will get a 3rd party electrical to do anything electrical.

But when it comes to bodykits, paint work, customising bodykits (he even makes some of his own) and anything external he is great.

So in Canberra there is:

ESP

Trojan

Autotech

Ultimate Tunes

J Racing

Anywhere else? It would be good to compare the hourly rates of each place also.

I need a pair of turbos (probably -5s), them to be fitted and the car tuned.

[GTRKat]

Pretty sure J Racing don't do mechanical work anymore so strike them off the list.

[Tristan21]

I have used Fast & Furious for all my mechanical repairs and upgrades. I would highly recommend them, he knows his stuff and charges very little for labour.

So for those of you who have seen my car *most of you i think* Do you think J Racing could colour match my pink and pearl?? I need to put my new front bar on my baby and I am super paranoid about getting good colour matching!! lol

Jerry's shop did my front bar Repair+Paint. The shade was off somewhat so he got his guys to do it all again without any whinge by me. Second time spot on at no additional cost to me. That was my experience

[Trozzle]

If my bar just has a simple crack in the front, where it got pushed back into the cooler by a gutter (what a meanie gutter it was! ) and a few more minor cracks on the underside from driveways etc, would you recommend taking it to Jerry? I wasn't aware JR would be in the business of repairs, figured they only did fitting and fabrication.

what was your damage and how much did it cost you sinista? I've got my own can of paint (which doesn't quite match as the front end of my car is slightly darker than the fuel cap cover I got it matched to lol), do you think they'd use it so I could save a little? obviously I can't expect them to guarantee the paint if I supplied it, but it doesn't bother me much.

[Sinista32]

My lower front bar lip was cracked all the way through 6-8inches long and a few minor abrassions from the dreaded gutters. You can't tell it was ever cracked and they also secured it all the way round properly (not zip ties). Cost to me repaired, preped, re-sprayed and fitted was $400.

JR will do what you ask for. If you want to spray it your self from pressure pack/s then I'm sure he wont have an issue. they should just do the fibre glass repairs. Thats what they do when not fitting full body kits.

Like verything else you get what you pay for and there is good n bad experiences. Even J Racing doesn't have 100% customer satisfaction. That said my experience with J Racing was good.

PS. As said earlier they dont do mechanical and will refer on

That's an acceptable price, I think I'll definitely head round there lunchtime Monday and maybe tee something up with them.

Your damage is more or less the same as mine, but yours sounds a little worse from the length of the crack lol

[Trozzle]

Got my car back with the bumper repaired from JR today, must say they did a rather acceptable job on it!

Mounted it correctly, and you can hardly tell it was repaired (though naturally if you look closely it's not 100% new looking, few imperfections but who cares)

The only downside of it was the cost, $480 removed, repaired, painted, and refitted. Though considering I walked in Monday to inquire about it and he took it in Tuesday to begin the repairs, can't complain about the turnaround

[MIVEC]

$480 is pretty reasonable in my opinion.

[Trozzle]

And I've already scraped it on 2 driveways! not bad >.>

bloody fail. lol

[GTRKat]

Haha yeah I give up trying to keep mine perfect its never going to happen.

[Trozzle]

it's true Kat. I'm thinking I'll just touch up the paint where it scraped, and then put 2 or 3 layers of black electrical tape on the underside.
