It feels like It takes longer to strap the car down to the dyno than to get tuned.. My supercharger tune was done I think in 4 runs from a very basic map, sure made me wonder if Jack had missed anything and a little weary considering all the bad rep the stillen kit was getting. Nope, the car ran perfectly from the day I got the first tune until the day I took the kit off. Whatever he did in those 20 minutes worked great for me and so I can't say anything negative about it. Both Gus and Jack have always been friendly towards me and have always treated me well at their shop. I can understand the argument that he's done so many similar cars that its relatively easy to tweak another map in a few runs and be done with it.

As far as JNAUT is concerned, I dealt with Jay for about a year...he worked on my car a lot, did a lot of installs and installed/uninstalled my supercharger. When we first started working he was very quick and responsive. My supercharger took a few weeks, but thats OK, I wanted it done perfect. It was perfect down to the T and when I took it to HPLogic it was perfectly ready to be tuned. By the end of our relationship though he became more and more patchy. The last big job he did for me was uninstall the SC and return me to stock...it took way way longer than expected. Customer service went to ****, no calls, terrible delays, no updates, wouldnt return calls/texts/e-mails, etc..you know the drill. Made me look terrible because there were people waiting for their parts from my partout and I was more than a month late on some...it got really bad at the end...he sold me and installed some completely trashed cats...used some random bolt to replace a transmission bolt, returned the car to me with scratched/curbed wheels, etc. To make a long story short the car came out well and has ran fine in stock form to this day...but I feel like I dodged a bullet because TravisJB, whom I recommended Jnaut to, was the next person to deal with Jason and lets just say I am immensely embarrassed to have recommended him. Same treatment + as some of you know some other really bad stuff that I can't get into becase that's up to Travis. Obviously I don't recommend him anymore. I feel like after a year+ of friendship, I was treated like a cheap customer and kicked out the back door...

My car was there while he was doing your uninstall and Travis's install. I guess I know why my car took 3 months.

The last week of install he decided to go on vacation last minute and leave my car on the lift right when it was almost complete. I lost 4 days because he decided a last minute vacation would be a great idea with so many installs pending.

I don't even want to post how much money I handed him.

And my car was #4 there. If I am not mistaken there was at least one other car there at that time as well.

This has got horror story written all over it. I hope the community takes notice!

RCZ · 04-12-2012, 05:11 PM

Eh, I think Jnaut was going through a rough personal patch and that affected his availability for work quite a bit. At the end of the day he's a good person and was a good friend, but that doesn't excuse any of this...

elperuano · 04-12-2012, 05:21 PM

He hasn't chimed in here or tried to defend himself. I'm sure he's heard about this thread. It's hard to defend yourself if what has been said is true, the very least an apology should come from him.

Doubt it, he hasn't been on here since January and I haven't been able to get a hold of him for months. Like Raul said, he is a nice person and means well but certain things are unacceptable. My buddy's car has been with him since early February and all that is to be done is an OEM engine swap on a 350z.
