post-26133-1153954796.jpg 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.

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

It is double action locking mechanism so you’d have to be pretty unlucky to have it accidentally knocked open by something hitting it.

Ok cheers

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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
