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 saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
