Thats a very good point...! What if he wiped it out on a speed hump, dropped all his oil and then totally lunched the whole engine...?

Maybe they dropped the sump plug into the bucket. Decided to find something to plug the hole whilst taking the oil pan to find sum plug and the spark plug was the perfect fit.

Taken oil pan to drain to find the sump plug only to see it fall into massive drum of oil. Phone rings a few times, boss is screaming that he needs the host and how long does it take to change oil.

Employee decides to tighten spark plug (correct torque settings of course) and fill oil in attempt to discredit boss.

My theory anyway...

This is shit we have all forgoten things but to fit a spark plug as a sump plug. Even if you droped the plug in the drain tin just pick it up or place another tin under the drips and drain the oil from the tin with the plug in it. This (mechanic) needs to recheck the car and then tell his boss why its back and tell him whagt he did i dont think he will be there long if his nogt gone already. Happy hunting, let them have it i know i would.

Thanks heaps guys for the support :D god knows i need it, coz my little saga gets worse.....

here goes.......

along with fixing my idle problem i had a leaky sump bolt, so they thort they would fix it for me. They thort they would helicoil a new thread in using a particular thread pitch and size 14 by 1.25, this size ONLY, im mean only comes in spark plugs, no compamy makes a bolt in this size it has to be custom made.

so i have to retap it AGAIN to a lagrer size :ermm:

THE EXSUCE - the mechanic who works on my car asked one of coworkers to plug it with something thats fits, and then forgot about it. He says they took his words too literaly to plug it. He was there when the car went out but didnt check it.

all i have to say it PET/GTECH in cambellfeild suck dont go there, im sure there are lots of happy customers but im not one of them.

i dont want to have anything to do with them, no agro no yelling, id rather spend my time with people who give a sh#t about what they do and how they do it, there not worth my time and effort.

they have done some top work for me but this was just down right careless.

Troy your a pissa :D

if one of my guys even thought of doing that they better pack up their tools and walk before i get to them.

There is no excuse for that, absolutely none.

its people like this that drive the mechanical trade down the shitter and force the good guys to work for f**k all

my partner and i check every single car that leave and make sure everything is 110% no ifs, no buts.

f**k this kind of stuff shits me to no end

occupation health and safety! this is dangerous plug could have hit something come out... oil drained out... engine ceased caught on fire and u could get burnt or even killed!! the work shop should do as rudd did and say sorry! :P :P :):P:banana::banana:

    • 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.
