The thread on the GTR forums speaks for itself.

Pictures don't lie.

FP's response is interesting. But still, that's a lot of coin! If I had a GTR, I would only mod it like 6 years later from the cars year to make sure I know which set up works best.

And if I was multi-millionaire

 

Wow that's a **** load of money

 

This is why I always promote DIY. If you don't know how, read. This man spent 250k along with 2 years of wait time and has nothing to show for it. There are people who can do ALL of that work in less than a month by themselves!

True true

 

and this is why you bring your gtr to iveytune or ams..

 

WOW!!!
And this is why I work on my own car... DIY FTW!!! Attention to detail is a must!! Its different standards when you work on your car and when someone else does, sad true story... shows that money doesnt always buy quality!! With the quality and time I put into my car... no shop but a capable owner would do...

Plus all the saved labour costs stayed in my build fund to purchase top of the line/supperior parts!

Its sad how shops will cut corners and charge the same.... shaddy business

 

I could believe my eyes when I saw the washers used for spacers and those intercooler piping welds, they weren't even acceptable for a $3000 Honda!

 

That totally sucks but at the same time how dumb do you have to be to keep forking money 250k' to a shop who clearly had no idea what there doing. Must be nice to have money to throw away.

 

^ yea I agree. The guy could of stopped spending his money there at 50k, 100k...

 

Nothing more annoying than when someone spits out the, "Must be nice..." line. The ignorance is strong with this one.

 

lol, what? Having 250k to blow on having fun? yeah, it must be nice. Most people would have been forced to bow out at 25k, let alone 250k, so again, yeah, it must be nice, how is that hard to understand?

 

Haha you crack me up. You want ignorance? I have money. Lots of it. But I'm not a ****ing moron to keep forking out 250k to a shop who totally has no business working on a car like this. I would of cut the cord after 50k and took a trip to see wtf is going on. Yes it must be nice to be rich as **** to **** 250k out like its nothing.

Drop your car off at my place. I'll be glad to empty your pockets too.

 

If the guy dropped 250k on the car and got an amazing GTR out of it and I said "it must be nice" then yes I would be ignorant. But come on dude. The guy bought a 100k car. Dropped it off and 22months later 250k and the car is destroyed. He is a dumb *** and it must be nice to **** that type of change away.

 

The thread is 13 pgs long (as of last night), but if you read thru it you'll see that the $250k amount quoted may not be accurate, that it might be the amount the OP spent over the course of several projects & product purchases with FP (FP's claim), not just on this build gone wrong. OP never challenged that claim, nor did FP clarify what this debacle was invoiced at.
