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

The group buy rules are clear, please update your first post with all the required information as outlined in the Group Buy Rule thread, including start and end date and confirmed pricing etc or the thread will be closed.

Interested, but id like to know how hard the spring that holds the arm is

So there is not a chance of it swinging open by itself

see the 2nd post for the pricing info etc.

once enough ppl are in Im sure we can all come to agree on a close-off date.

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.

perhaps you could put all of the names of people that have stated that they are keen into the first post so we can keep an eye on how many people are interested/committed to the group buy.

Will these fit an RB26, I remember reading somewhere that the magnetic ones you get don't fit the 26's sump, are these the same or are there different parts for each?

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

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
