Well as you guys know my car has been in the lovely motorex shop for 8 months now (but finally near completion). Well i went up there one day to check on the work and behold a LHD GTR sitting right next to it. I couldnt believe someone would do it. I wish i had had a camera. Well the interior was flawless, you couldnt tell that there was any type of conversion. Alas the keys were nowehre to be found and i couldnt check out the turbo setup. I do know that it wasnt just sitting there for fun. I was having all types of problems, one being oil leaks everywhere.

So my disbelief was shut down that day. Ill try to get them to take some pictures of it if its still there. Or ill take some next time when i pick up my beast.

Its dam MotorEx! They dont have a clue as to keep good customer repor. Everytime i call i get the "we found something else wrong" shit. I also got the "in two weeks it should be done" at least 4 times. Never ever bring your gtr to be fixed there. Luckily i found a guy in san diego that can do it all. So next time (oh god dont let there be a next time) ill take it to him. I mean cmon ive owed the car for 3 years and its been in the shop more than half of the time (oh ya it was at MotorHell for 8 months the last time it broke). But i think if it breaks again ill just sell it. Any takers?

Well, I'll tell one of those stories that is supposed to make you feel better, but doesn't...

Friend of mine dropped his gear box out of his WRX (Supprise supprise ) He took it into the dealership before thanksgiving. It is still there... They have rebuilt the old tranny and put it back in, it made noise, then broke 3rd agian. Now they've taken it back out and ordered a new one.

MrSky what has gone wrong with the Car?
I know as most do they are getting older but usually they are very reliable when maintained right. Sounds like you may have ha a run of bad luck.

8 Months! Gawd Damn man you could have put it on a boat to New Zealand gotten if fix RIGHT and sent back in a total of 8 weeks !
