Message i talked to a local shop a while back about problems i was
having with my car when i first got it, and we decided to
order some fuel injectors for it. it's a '90, so he ordered
early style injectors. this IS a shop specifically for z's,
just not specifically z32's. he told me that the original
injectors were susceptible to ethanol and that the "new old
style" injectors had been modified to resist. without doing
any more research because i was under the impression that i
was talking to a pro, i just went with it, in other words,
bent over, and bought this $1000 set of outdated square top
injectors.

since then, i've learned through research that this dude was
lying hard core, he over charged, and i really shouldn't
ever have trusted this guy. all this happened so soon after
i got the car that i really hadn't done the research i
should have. anyway, after ~25k on them now, i've got a bad
injector. i'm ordering the conversion kit from a more
trusted vendor to remedy this, but i'm wondering what you
all think i could do about reparations for being ripped off
like this.

i know a lot of you have had experiences with shops ripping
you off, but this is a first for me. so what are my options?
is it just too late and i have to accept that "he got me"?
or are there certain phrases i could throw at him to get him
a little nervous and give me a full/partial refund?

i'm expecting the worst here, but this forum never fails to
impress with beneficial info, so i figured it could be worth
a try. thanks in advance
