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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
