its obviously been done for a reason. before you all jump on your bandwagons, there is another side to this story obviously as its harder to do what was done than just replace with the existing sump plug. as for fark ups...I'd like to see any one here who hasnt farked something up before.

That's just not good enough, if it was done for a reason why wasn't the owner made a aware of it???

If there was something wrong with the sump plug and they couldn't get it back on they shouldn't have given the car back until it was correctly repaired/replaced.

Yeah your right we all make mistakes but this my friend is not a mistake, it's pure stupidity and not professional.

the point was shit happens and it doesnt necessarily mean the people at that workshop are no good and as such we shouldnt be bagging them considering we have no idea what really happened. Its fruitless debating potentioal scenarios to a situtaion you nor I have not been involved with. That being said I have never seen anything like that before and if that hapened to me i would be quite pissed to say the least.

But at least we know what to do when we loose a sump plug LOL

How are your NGK shares doing currently mate............... :laugh:

You said you went in there for idle issues, have these been fixed? Check your spark plugs, maybe there you will find your sump plug.

Hey if its idling fine now maybe the old 'swap the sump plug with the spark plug on cylinder 2' trick fixed it up.

:laugh:

yea shit happens, but you wouldnt want it to when your spending hard earned money

i reckon, they were putting it back together and doing a test of something, and couldnt find the actual sump plug, jsut for the time beig shoved that in.. then forgot about it

Sorry but theres just no excuse for that.Worse case scenario if he stripped the thread..at least let the customer know about it.or lost the sump plug..order a replacement...thats just seriously botched up...IF you make a mistake the first time then fix it and get it right the 2nd time,....no excuse for this

Bill for mechanical repair.

.5 hours labour to fix PFC Idle problem @ $90 p/h

5 litres Motul oil $100

7 new spark plugs $120

hang on a moment. 7 spark plugs??? where does the 7th one go? ahh I see.

My only fear is if in fact they did just forget to replace the spark plug with a sump plug then I hope they didn't forget to put oil in it too... I would be checking things over pretty thoroughly before doing anything else.

thats not a fark up, thats pure 100% dodgy and lazy. if they threaded the plug pulling it out ot something along those lines that is more definatly not the way to fix a fark up as far as im concerned. thats a horrable attempt at trying to cover up their stuff up.

    • 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.
