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

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.

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.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      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.
