Thats the story I hear from everyone that did an FI stock block setup with every shop with a bad name. Even the customers of MrS who have stock block FI say they no issues....Its the customers that get their motors build that usually have problems with blown motors ..then finding out that the parts they paid for were not installed. You were one of the lucky ones
I guess Nissan gets credit for building a good motor....not those con men !!!

Id be sooo pissed to drop a few more grand in the car and not have fun with it like i did stock block style. My old lady even asked me whats the hold-up on my build 
..lol

As bad as the vid from 2 years ago looks... I'm not gonna condemn JT for that one just yet. Like JZurita said, there was just too much doubt about The Shop and their possible role in the condition of that motor.
I'm more interested in seeing the vid from Saturday's teardown at VTR. This was JT's chance at a redo. Aside from attempting to cast blame on Jon for blowing up his own motor, there is no other shop that JT can use as a scapegoat.
Hurry up and post that vid!!!

the shop is a shady shop, but they wouldn't stoop to the level of swapping motors .. besides.. they hardly have any G/350z customers to even screw up their reputation anymore by pulling something stupid like that..

i do.. as Jon said.. per the phone convo they had with JT.. he couldn't place blame on 'the shop' .. he blamed it on his tech.. and then decided to take the motor back.. so this was prior to JT getting the motor and the car back..

Based off of Jon's story, it sounds like The Shop was acting very shady with him as well and was not pleased that he outsourced the motor in the first place (*motive). However... I do suspect, like you, that Jon didn't get what he paid for from PF, but I'm trying to rule out variables and look at this as I would professionally in any other investigation I do.And I do think it's pretty damned suspicious that JT insisted he built it himself and then changed his story to blame one of his techs.
IMO this latest teardown will be the more definitive and damning case against JT, if the results indicate poor workmanship/assembly and fraudulent parts content.

Doing this is very much appreciated. Now that almost all of the shop builds have been deleted except for 1 pages worth all new users have nothing at all to go by when deciding what kit or shop to use or what is proven. In the past i remember being able to spend hours reading past build posts and everyones comments now that is no more..

Jorge.....Let me say it a different way.....Not all the customers with Stock blocks have issues with their cars when dealing with the well known conmen on here
Its when they have to open up your motor the rappage begins

Any shop can do bolt-ons. A stock block FI install isn't a true test of a shop's capabilities. I LOL and
when I see stock block customers being the most vocal nuthuggers and sh*t talkers for their shop as if their ~400whp stock block "build" is a testament to that shop's greatness.

Im worried more about the setup/parts. Im gonna be going with Shop-Roger@Japtrix for the build. Always took care of me and never had an issue and i 1st hand have seen some of the cars he works on. Plus there local to me so that save's a few potential headaches. He goes to the track events and its nice to have support/advice right there if/when u need it. There are other shops here that i would goto. Forged always helped me out and gets me parts quick/fast when i need them, and Shariff has given me good advice when i call up for a question on a part i need to order.

I agree with Eric's post....I also laughed when the stock block came on here defending our star conman.....Lawchick is the first that comes to mind.
Dont get me wrong....I am not saying that shops i did not list are not good....I was just giving a list of shops that "I" would trust with MY car. Best of luck with your plans.... Post up when you have it completed.

I was there when PF finished this Beautiful car & I also noticed cris max car on the lift, along with a few other members cars. My wife & I had a long chat with the PF guys & they seemed to be stand up people. My local "machinest" dropped the ball & after visiting this shop we were convinced to have them (PF) build my motor. By the time I got the short block from my sad azz machinest to ship to PF, PF had closed it's doors for good
Ohwell maybe I lucked upI sure as hell hope the current shop will build you a "real" engine.
Best of luck to you.
I am sh!tting my pants right now after reading this stuff. I have no complaints as of right now because my car is running fine and feels fast as ****, but if i paid for parts and they were not installed in my motor i will flip out. I have already come to the decision that if this motor blows i am putting in a LS2
