Hi Peter, Maybe start another thread and make it a poll :yes:

Something like "How long did your engine rebuild take"

Options:

3 Months or less

6 Months

9 months

12 Months

Greater than 12 months !

I for one would be interested in the results.

Maybe in the comments SAUérs could add

Which shop and were they totally happy with service

Did it come in on Time and Quoted price ...... LMFAO

(allowing for owners that add/change bits as they usually do making cost go up)

:action-smiley-069:

Many workshops are like builders - they don't like turning down work so they agree to do your job even though they are busy. And of course the best shops are always busy. The hard bit is priority - regular customers and mates probably get priority. Also I think regular calls for updates are in order...and often necessary!

Here we are 5 weeks since I put my car in for the work and it sits there getting a nice coat of dust,haha :yes:

The Fn block is still not ready !

I believe this is a normal situation in the world of Mods, don't like it very much :angry:

14months (edit: and counting.) in one shop for the same thing, 3months before it was touched.

I waited 5 weeks as nitto was out of stock. Then another 8 weeks waiting on machiner. Bottom end finally assembled. Now most likely another 5 weeks for head to be finished. Then most likely another 5 weeks to put motor back in and tune ?

So will be close to 6 months fkn

I have one thin going for me, I had all of the parts delivered 3 months ago, so there is NO waiting on parts, or saying they are waiting on parts. I have also had other work done by them and they were on time both times, so?

Thanks anyway for getting me ready for a lot of bullshit from them as I live too far away to just pop in to see what is happening, so I can only live in hope :(

Haha, that would be too hard to read while I have my cay in there, I am not good at waiting for anything, I would buy the second best if I could not get my first choice ASAP, so even the 5 weeks has seemed, like forever :(

I have read a lot of builds on these sites, had to stop after I put my car in and starting to understand I was getting the mushroom treatment and it was giving me the shits, I have way too much time on my hands to play the waiting game.

It will be interesting to see what happens over the next 3 weeks, that was the latest finish time given to me, 6-8 weeks ????

Haha Paul it will all be worth it ?

Response and torque monster

Can you imagine , the car has the response/torque and Paul the monster, what a combo, ZZZZOOOOOOOMMMMM! :)

Haha Paul it will all be worth it ?

Response and torque monster

Haha!!! Ah a while ago, Pete said it shouldn't take any longer than 6 weeks. Yeah right :D.

Farken mushroom factory industry it is.

Get it right, 6 to 8 weeks was the quote, just because nothing has been done in 5 weeks and off you go getting all negative , have faith Piggaz have faith :)

    • 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  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
