I threw in an s13 sr20det into my 95 240sx and did everything in the swap except for the turbo and oil lines and my s15 front end conversion.
I asked around local shops (in the Indianapolis Area) and had been referred to this "unmentioned" shop by multiple people. I gave them the car and ALL PARTS needed to finish the job. They have done full body fixes on lotuses, lambos, etc and have done an amazing job! I dropped my car off early January 2011, with the expectation of them getting it running and the conversion looking great by February 19th (the day I had to turn in my lease and would be without a car).
It is now almost MAY!!!! and still no car.
I call/text the shop and the owner's cell phone every day and I am lucky to get one or two texts back a week. I am needless to say... FRUSTRATED with the whole situation. Communication is horrible, and at first they kept saying they couldn't get it running, and now they keep saying that it is a timing issue that they are trying to figure out.
He said he thinks it is either the ecu or the angle cam sensor, so I called empalthy (the guy who rom tuned my ecu), and he said to have the shop call him to work through some common small issues that could effect the timing. So then I gave the owner his contact information multiple times and still no word if he has even called the guy.
I am trying to stay understanding in this whole situations, but my Christian values are fading fast with how frustrating this whole situation has been for me. Anyone have any ideas what I should do. I am scared if I just go get the car that I will have to pay an arm and a leg just for me to have to take it to another shop to get it going.
