post-26133-1153805648.jpgwondering 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

So it's like a quick release for your sump drain hole?

Looks alright, how much is it?

Also might just have to check clearances on lowered cars, but it reckons it only sticks out 10mm further than the stock sump plug....

they are $49 as in the pic or there is a model with a hose nipple on the outer end for $56 plus delivery which within aus is around $7 it said on the site, so it saves buying a new sump plug gasket at $7.50 a pop every time you drop your oil.

i dunno if they would do group buys or not as it is only a very recent release. i will try and work out how to put a direct link on the page and you can all see for yourself that there ghas been a fair bit of work in designing the thing and that they are now standard equipment on some car makers now.

but even so they are a good buy i reckon cos you can release the oil at its best time (when its really hot) so you get most of it out before it thickens.

i will contact them and see if they are interested. i have ordered mine already and am just waiting to hear back from them so will ask them when i do and will let you all know on here as soon as i find out

honestly how hard is the sump plug to remove? the same plug on mine has been used about 20 times and never leaked a drop. they will either start leaking after a while or accidently get unlocked and dump all your oil, or get ripped off from a rock or something on the road.

sounds like a risk to me, and u dont get burnt by the oil if u pull it off, its easy to unscrew it and move ya hand away as its coming out without getting a single drop on yaself.

id rather put that $50 in my fuel tank :(

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
