Today must be "pick on Zertek day" :blink:

Alas, no one died, it's just time and money :yes:

I know! Before i purchased it, I asked a few people that are using these plenums what they think about them and noone has had any complaints... when mine arrived i realised its nothing but a peice of junk.... i think i might make it into a candle holder or something

A garden ornament with flowers planted in it.

That's what I would do with it.

Then I would break open my money box and order the real deal.

it doesnt look like a big problem to me. take it to a machinist and get them to deck that face by .5mm.

it would be the first thing i would have done anyway as ive seen a few copies come back without a flat surface. it looks uneven in a few spots anyway.

get it done, it should only cost you around $40-$50 and you will regain a bit of meat between the water galley and the runner.

Any item sold should be 'fit for the intended purpose'

It doesn't mater what it cost, if its a copy or the real mccoy or where it was purchased from...

The plenum is faulty and the man deserves a repair or refund.

Put yourselves in his position and I guarantee you would be the first to complain!!!

That's right mate. 'consumer rights' is the phrase i believe.

If you have a receipt of the plenum then you're set. When you buy this product you expect it to be in at least reasonable working order. and free from workmanship defects.

the plenum was sold as a plenum to fit an RB25 and do it's job(regardless of the material used to make it, or the finish) . air and water galleries basically connecting were not part of the deal and means you've got a lemon.

if you don't receive a reply from the seller within 30 days then you can contact consumer affairs i think and have them address the problem.

Either way it's not as others have pointed out "buy a cheap plenum and accept this problem bla bla" BS. unless it was sold on ebay as "RB25 intake plenum that is not fit for use"

buying a cheap plenum may mean it does not work AS well but it should still work.

good luck.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
