Hey all, I recently imported an R33 GTS-t M-Spec, and soon after sent it to a local garage which "specialized" in these vehicles. For potential legal reasons, the garage will not be named. I was to have recieved a rebuilt engine with full internals and installation of HKS T51R KAI turbo with custom manifold, injectors, and several other things. I supplied custom rods, oversized pistons, pins and gasket, including head studs, HKS Racing Wastegate and ARC clutch. I was also told that hicas lock bar would be installed along with Motec M800 computer, turboXS dual boost controller and C's short shifter. I was quoted three weeks for the work, but at the end of week eleven, i found that the garage had not yet assembled the engine, so I had the car towed to another garage. On inspecting the block, the other garage told me after going through with a bore gauge that the block had been bored too much and "off center" and would not fit my pistons. I choose the maximum overbore diameter for my pistons, and if this is true the block can no longer be used and i cant afford to make the oversize pistons custom for the bore.
Help me, what should I do????????!!! I have spoken to the owner of the garage and he denies that the bore is damaged, and if this keeps on going I'm f*ck3d because I dont have insurance for it yet!!!!!
