ive got a R32 GTR and ive had some minor work done on it, the work shop shall remain namelss, and this is what i found as a sump plug!

lets just say im not happy. :D

that's pretty $hit, but i guess it could've been worse, much much worse.

oh, and for the record they are farking retarded. I mean this happens all the time. sump thread is often damaged by overtight or cross threaded sump plugs. you simply drill it a little larger and heli-coil or timesert. often it's easy to switch and imperial size like a 3/4 sump plug (very common). why on earth they would put a spark plug in there I have no idea. monkeys.

Yelling and screaming generally gets you nowhere. But if you go in and be firm on the matter and insist they replace the sump properly, they should replace it being completely their fault.

There is an ombudsman for almost every field of trade, this is the kind of issue you take up with them if they dont agree to properly repair it. And generally there are big fines involved if a complaint is lodged through them. However always try sort it out properly with the company first before running to the ombudsman as they will promptly turn you around.

I think in this situation they should go about replacing it properly.

Another thing to check is if the company is ISO certified (quality control procedures and standards) and get them stripped of their ISO qualification for not following guidlines of quality control properly.

i hear you, but id rather just move on from this nightmare.

im no pussy but this work was just mindless, i dont ever want to go back there for what ever reason.

I agree sometimes when you have had bad work done somewhere the last thing you want to do is take your car back. even if they will fix it for free. smart choice. just put it behind you. lesson learnt, no 'real' damage done and just move on :(

    • 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.
