Quick Release Sump Drain Group Buy Ended

[silver gts-t]

does the lever have to be held open?? or does it lock into place??

[oxford1327]

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, I'm in for one of these. God knows I hate taking off the sump plug after driving the car around for the the oil to get hot and runny.

pending oxfrod1327's feedback im in

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

[Cubes]

[d00dz]

IN PM payment details etc...

[EGA41T]

nice one, get those payment details happening and im sure you will get PLENTY of buyers.

[Anquetil]

*Waves money around*

So when's this all going to happen?

[oxford1327]

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?

one question. since its a ball valve and its underneath. exposed to dirst, water ETC. Will the ball valve works in the long run? if this matter is clarified i want one as well. Will it fit the RB26 engine ? Let me know.
