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 :(

      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.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
