awesome review thanks for postin that up cubes

here is the listings stagea girl it looks pretty comprehensive to me!!!! VEHICLE CHART SIZE CHART ADAPTORS It is highly likely we have a valve to suit your vehicle or application. If your vehicle is not listed, you can send us a sample sump plug to match a valve with. See the contact page for where to send it. The other option is to measure your sump plug. How to measure: Using Vernier calipers, measure the diameter of the threaded section of the sump plug. This may be all we need to match your sump plug with a valve. If possible, also measure the distance between 2 thread peaks for the pitch. A more accurate way to do this is to measure the distance between 6 peaks and divide by 5. Send the measurements to us, stating the vehicle make, model, year and engine capacity and we will try to match it with a valve. Please contact us for more information. Prices are in Australian dollars. Delivery is $7 in Aust. SIZE CHART REGULAR TYPE N-SERIES (W/NIPPLE) Part no. Size AU$ Part no.

list of interested parties has been updated in the first post if people are interested it looks as though we already have 18 and a couple of maybes. and its only the 6th of the month. i am gonna go to the bank tomorrow and organise an account for this to be paid into and will post up the details as soon as i can

the buy will be getting done at the end of this month so as to give the most oppurtunity for people to jump in on it, we already have almost 20 people that have chucked their hand up for one so as soon as i get my end of it sorted i will be listing payment details etc. as listed in the first couple of posts if we get over 20 buyers the valves will be $41 including delivery.but i reckon the more the better eh?

hello all. well i installed the valve today and it works a treat, as i always buy some cheap synthetic oil to flush through and make sure i get most of the gunk out before puttin the new motul in. once i got the original oil out i installed the new valve made sure it was closed off and refilled the engine with the crappy oil,started the engine and let it idle for bout five mins to check for leakage etc. before taking it for a quick spin to load it up a bit so as to circulate through the whole system. i then put the car back on my hoist and let it out again, it was surprisingly easy to use and if you look from the front of the car underneath you cannot even see the valve so i reckon there is bugger all chance it can be sheared off as some people feared. all in all i give the valve a big thumbs up and my old man saw it and reckons its a good thing as if you really wanted to you could drain the oil without having to even jack the car up as there would be no requirement for tools just a pan and some ground clearance. i will try and get some clear pics of the install and how much of it you can see under the car from on your knees etc. and post them up for the doubters. in the pics added you can see that the cross member is the lowest part, so if thevalve was to be gettin torn off there is a fair chance that you are already on the way to a massive repair bill when you go back and pick up your engine off the ground hahaha

hi all i was doin some stuff in the rear of the wagon thew other day and bashed my head on one of the standard child restraints they install for compliance, and after all the swearing stopped i had a look at them and noticed they were a pretty ordinary setup. so i went to the local ford dealer and had a look at some of their ones and found some neater ones that fit straight in for only $5 each heres a couple pics of the before and after. and if anyone is interested they are available in several colours. and the part number is EE N613D26 A1

i have started a group buy of these valves and so far there seems to be a fair amount of interest, if you wanna see any further please refer to the group buy section

well guys my valve arrived in the mail today so will be changing my oil on wednesday and will update everyone on whether its a good thing or not eg: ease of fitment, how secure it is when in the closed position etc. it certainly looks the goods though!

here are a couple of full size pics cruiseliner.and also a pic of my other toy, my rsv factory.

the lever is like any other ball valve once it is turned it stays in place. so you don't hafta hold it just unlock and turn then continue about the other stuff req'd for services etc.

hey stageagirl have a look at the groupbuy section for the quick change oil valve and you won't need to find/buy a crush washer ever again!!! i think i worked out how to put in a link ? have a look here and see what ya reckon? oh and by the way i agree with you on the ban stupid people, not dogs bit! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...127757&st=0

i will update the first post with details of who has expressed interest when i get a chance. at the moment i am running late for a date with some beer after a 16hour day so will do it when i can guys

just an update guys. i recieved a call from the guys at fumoto today and they said that i should be recieveng my drain valve either monday or tuesday and am due for an oil change very soon anyway so will be able to tell you all how well it works and the quality of the thing too.

awesome guys as per blitz's request i have now edited the first post to include some dates that if he had of looked at the 3rd post he would have seen. and as soon as we have enough i will pm all that have shown interest and let them know when it is going ahead and where to send the fundage etc. it seems that there is a fair amount of interest already though so it shouldn't take long.

i have posted up a thread in the group buy section of the site so if all would like to have a look there and see what you think? as it is my first go at doing anything like this please bear with me and feel free to advise me guys? also can some one please pm me and give me a lesson on how to add in a link to the group buy page in my post?

if we can all have our names and details pm'd to me before 31st of august i will do the buy then and as it is outlined in the email that they sent me the valves will be shipped out from the distributor so there will be no middle man i will post up some details of where to pay and stuff once i find out how much interest there is.

i have organised a group buy with the local distributor for these drain taps and will post up the info and a photo if i can get it to work properly wondering if any one on here has seen/used one of these fumoto valves on their sump drain before as i am gonna get one to try. and if any one has how well did it work was it easy to use etc? the page is as follows. www.fumoto.com.au here is a pic. here is an update of the people who have shown interest in the buy so far. 2guys i work with satanic. tangles.------paid EGA41T.-----paid shane.-------paid mr moo.-----paid Ol-mate.-----paid 9Krpm. x 2 pav 34.

here is the email he sent me so all i need from you guys is some names and addressses etc. and will get it rolling Hi Oxford, I’ve just taken a look at the forum and there seems to be a bit of interest. Well done. If you get 5 buyers, I will do the valves for $49 including delivery to anywhere in Australia. If you get 10, I will do them for $45 each. If you get 20, they will be $41 each. These prices are for the non-nippled version. I suggest getting the non-nippled. The nippled version is not needed unless you want to relocate where the oil will come out (i.e. with a hose, say, if you had a sump guard that you didn’t want to remove every time you change the oil). Add $4 for the nippled. Most late model Nissans take the F-103 valve (12mm x 1.25mm pitch). The only thing I ask, is that someone manage the group buy (eg. yourself). Collect all the money, pay me, then send me a list of names and addresses and I will ship out. Do the group buy whenever you are ready. Just to answer a few questions and clarify. The valve sticks out more than the standard sump plug only by about 10mm. Usually, sump plugs are on an angle, so the actual clearance isn’t reduced by much at all. It is double action locking mechanism so you’d have to be pretty unlucky to have it accidentally knocked open by something hitting it. It’s not a new invention. It’s been around for over 15 years. It’s just that it hasn’t been marketed to the auto industry in Oz. A lot of trucking and industrial use them. Nissan Japan (as well as other manufacturers in Japan) actually has them as an OEM part (I have a picture of the packaging somewhere). People are saying the price is too high. It’s less than a bottle of synthetic and you only have to buy one. Over the life of the vehicle, it’s not going to equate to much. There are always going to be people who say they are waste of time, blah, blah, and I do agree that they are not a necessity, but so are a lot of things on cars. My main buyers are guys with 4WDs that change their oil, every 5000. Just makes it that little bit easier to do as a regular thing. Turbo cars obviously benefit from more regular changes as well. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Regards, Jack 0402 399 445

i have had a reply from the company that they are willing to do a group buy and i will try and transfer the email they sent me into a post but if it doesnt work i will type it out in here the long way

yeah will do as soon as i work out how to do it will have bit more of a play tomorrow
