Your "insult" is null and void considering your lemon of an attempt at Stagea ownership. With everything you fkd up on your old Stagea, having a go at me over the colour of my old Stagea is a pretty average effort, even by your standards :)

Going back through this thread makes me laugh.

Anyway to getting to the point of why i'm posting.

I received a M35 today at my house...I'm going to name drop(rosella) so that if you wish to PM him and ask him who he used you can.

To say that I have never been more disappointed at the workmanship on a car before is going to be a big call.....this shop went full Re t a r d!

Firstly I'd like to say that rosella has done nothing wrong but to trust the workshop and "qualified" mechanic's he gave his car to.

So To start off(and this only get worse)
1/ Missing bolt on the back of intake bracket
2/ Loose top suction pipe hose clamp
3/ Suction pipe top bolt finger tight
4/ Suction pipe bottom pipe over tensioned....new stud needed as it was all but snapped
5/ Heat shields overlapping heat shield bolts....I might also add that they were rounded as well.
6/ Cross threaded Actuator bolts into the turbo...re tap needed.
7/ O2 Sensor way over tightened(well at least something was tight)
8/ After loosening the 2 bottom dump pipe bolts the whole dump pipe was flapping in the wind. Further to this there was a nut and bolt at the top that should not have been used at temp....the reason that a bolt was used was because they had drilled the thread through on the turbo rather than retapping it.
9/ Water pipe from the top not bolted on
10/ Oil line bolt not bolted on
11/ Turbo to exhaust manifold studs bolted up with ceased bolts from the turbo to dump side.....all were loose/finger tight with the exception of 1 bolt.
12/ Old line Banjo bolt missing one washer.....so it was pissing out oil everywhere. They tried to fix this by dumping a shit load of gasket goo over it.....this was there full re t a r d moment.....and everyone knows you never go full re t a r d!!!

anyway rant finished.......now to get the turbo back in tomorrow if I can!

Wow.

Not a good job. At least we know its in good hands now. Disappointed From a place I thought better of too. However many have been stung by the first time M35 turbo job.

Edit.

I miss Sidius. This thread delivered.

I was very disappointed when I heard how this played out; I expect much better from professionals. Even after spending time speaking with the mechanic in question while the work was happening; it has ended badly.

There is nothing worse than paying good money, and trusting specialists with your pride & joy; only to have them abuse that trust & conduct themselves in such a deplorable manner.

There is no question that the individual who worked on this car did a disgraceful job, and should be absolutely ashamed of himself.

To then do even more substandard work, in an attempt to cover up the first lot; is simply unconscionable.

I actually found the missing banjo washer whilst I was helping Russel with another thing that they had left loose a couple of weeks ago.
Foolishly, I had hoped they'd used a new one; but no.

I hope once Rosella gets his car back from Craig, that he takes the photos of this mess to the owner of the business, and asks for an explanation.
He certainly deserves one.

As Alex has said; at least he can rest assured it is being done properly this time, and that the whole sordid business doesn't leave a sour taste in his mouth.

I and others have managed to do this exact job on our own cars, with no more of an advantage than these guys have; so the "but it's a hard car to work on" rubbish, doesn't wash with me even a little bit.

Also; Sidius was great.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
