It was T/E due to the nature of the car; the final price included parts. Throughout the whole process we made Sajed aware of the rising costs, we had to stop when Sajed said he has no money left for the job. He said he will store the car for a bit and then continue. The car was in extremely poor condition and not an ideal canidate for a swap. His car was full of junk parts/tools/bolts inside and out. We did the job because we wanted to try to help Sajed out. > > WE MADE IT VERY CLEAR WHAT THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES WERE! Sajed agreed to pay for the work done so far because he knew what time/effort it took to do the work so far. Why? Because he was there in the shop most of the time watching. Sajed clearly understood the cost and time to do the job. We had to fix/repair the car for many items before swapping it. We stopped because he wanted to save some more money to continue the work. > > We have imported very nice cars and have done quality work on the motors. We have many SR’s and RB’s to attest to that; including my personal EVO X build up. > > I’m sorry it this happened; but we believe we were fair and upfront with Sajed. Almost everyday we met/spoke with Sajed discussing the swap and issues. We agreed to take responsibility for any errors on our part, but not for the motor as we refused to put it in. To be clear, the message was we will do the swap; but we cannot be responsible for the outcome because we are advising the car is not in a good condition to do the swap nor is the motor. Sajed insisted he wanted the swap done. > > My post on GTRC was a rant on how Skyline GTR’s once deemed prestige cars were slowly becoming ricer cars. I’ve owned S14’s since 1997 and have respect for them, however there are a lot of bad 240’s out there that shouldn’t be on the road. This is nothing new. > > Anyhow this is fodder for SON, the internet, and e-thugs will come out of anywhere and try to flip words, introduce hearsay facts etc.,Those who know us first hand should know better… I am disappointed Sajed took this route after all the conversations I have had with him. This is the worst explanation I have ever heard in my life. “We didnt want to do the swap but I charged him a lot of money and gave him nothing but crap”. This is not the first time I have heard of you guys having problems with people. Remember your mechanic threatened to beat up some guy at driftmania for no reason? Or how about that time you tried to sell a written off FD with the description of minor damage? You Respect 240 guys? Look at your comment on GTRC. BTW if you respect them so much why the hell did you butcher that S14 and sell it for a ridiculous some? Just apologize to they guy, Give him half his money back, and admit you WERE ALSO AT FAULT. For God sakes you just said your EVO/Higher paying customers are more important that us regular guys. To the OP. If you need any help, come by my place FREE OF CHARGE. Lets see if I can help you fix the car. Or I think some son guys should go take a look at the car to see if we can help. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/onijdm-swap-issue/126570)._
