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.

post-26133-1154492446.jpgpost-26133-1154492498.jpghello 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

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?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
