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!

what the fu#k.

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 :(

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
