Google "Fumoto" oil drain valve if you haven't heard of it...

Installed one of these on my R33 a while ago and not only does it make oil changes as easy as flicking a switch (no more sump plugs and washers and oil pouring out over your hands/spanner), it looks kind of cool too :)

Very cheap for what it is!

The k&n with the nut, what a brilliant idea! Why don't they all do that...

well considering filter is only meant to be hand tight I would think its pretty pointless just like changing your sump plug washer..dont overtighten things in the first place and you wont have any problems :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice Rolls, I think I'll go the cheaper option Motul, does seem to make sense when you put it in the new motor perspective.

Now... Where do I get my hands on it? Supercheap doesn't stock Motul right? I'm in Sydney.

Where do I get a Nissan oil filter?

if your after motul 4100 turbolight check out just jap in the traders section... bought 5L for 80 odd bucks including postage which only took a day

I use one of these,just like you said makes oil changes a breeze. :yes:

It definitely looks good. How secure is it though birds, I'm guessing you've never had any trouble? Does it feel like the safety latch will protect against a wayward stone flying up under the car?

I've only ever done filters up hand tight and only ever managed to undo one or two by hand (of a couple of dozen changes at least). Having that leverage/grip makes it so much easier. Though you can always just stick a screw driver through it (never done it myself but have been tempted).

Isn't 4100 turbolight usually a fair bit cheaper than that? Seeing as 8100 is usually $75-80?

yeah it was like 60 bucks for 5L postage was $20 ish.... lol the screwdriver trick... i thoroughly dont recommend it - some say its ok - for me an oil change usually takes an hour.. it took days to finally wrench my old filter off after breaking just about every tool i had

Doesn't sound right, 8100 xcess is only $60 when you shop around, 4100 is cheaper again. Worst case 8100 is $80, 4100 should never be that price.

well I would think that means your doing them up to tight wouldnt u?

Also are you putting them on dry or wet, smear a little oil around the seal and half fill it with oil before you put it on..

Anyway, I guess some people just dont get it, which is why they make filters with little nuts..

i dont see why anyone would use a semi synth 4100 when you can get a full synth 8100 for about the same price .. is it because its called turbolight people think its better for turbos :unsure:

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • 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.

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.
    • 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.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
