If you have an oil pressure gauge, just keep an eye on that. It won't kill your engine as soon as it dumps your oil, it takes a couple km to do some proper damage and your engine will start to feel very noisy/rough before that. Plus you'll probably feel it when you bump the plug on something. The actual damage to the sump / sump thread is what I'd be more concerned about.

I worried about that too...but I guess if people really wanna get you that way, they can do it with a 14 mm spanner anyway lol. And how many twits actually get under cars in carparks? Haha.

It's the paranoia valve!

Haha I'm small and still can't reach my sump bolt if I tried. Can't get under the car. Big bidykits do that haha

Cause you know I always look under people cars to see if they have a quick release on their oil sump...haha plus you couldn't get under kris's car without a Jack if you get it that high might as well steal his rims and leave it on cinderblocks

Bump...

Just in case anyone was interested in these, but concerned about the safety of the valve, I've had one installed on my Skyline for the past 2 months. No issues at all, fits just like a sump plug and has it's own paper gasket for a snug fit. The valve tap is quite stiff and the lever has a fairly strong spring in it to prevent it from accidentally opening...no flying debris or anything could knock it open IMO. Once installed, it doesn't sit any lower than the sump itself (R33 GTS-T), so you'll be right even if your vehicle is lowered. It really doesn't stick out much more than the standard sump plug and looks kind of cool. Get one!

Now if only there was a valve to make changing spark plugs easier...

ooh would fit the 180? trying to remember what size socket it takes. Still, a breaker bar makes things pretty easy for me anyway.. don't actually have to get under the car.. and Kris if I can get to my sump then surely u can get to yours :P

Also I put one of those drift oil filters on a cpl of weeks ago.. sounds a bit ricer but they have a nut shape on the end of them.. makes taking them on/off so much easier, can just use a ratchet.

Agreed Birds.. already did one of my wrists on a coil pack screw earlier this year.. too tight.. gave way.. ARHHHH pain.

Wish everything was a bit more push in/pull off, though I suppose that would be less interesting. Or at least more consistent in size, so you only need like 2 tools instead of 6+ different sizes and varieties depending on which bit you're pulling off.. Anyway besides the point but still :)

I emailed the guys, they weren't to interested in a GB deal, I think they are looking for probably around >50 units before they even consider a GB...plus they weren't all that helpful at all I had to basically force a reply out of them

Just buy one individually, for all the messing around of a GB you would save a couple dollars per item...it's not a $700 intercooler...

Hey guys, obviously this group buy didn't go through since they never responded to my second email but they did put me on their mailing list so I did get this

What do you people have against a spanner?

This seems to be an "amazing" solution to a job that only takes 30 seconds to do in the first place?

What is this lazy world coming too...

it also saves the mess.. the fact you can put a hose on it helps..

and the fact that every time the bolt falls into the oil bucket you have to fish for it... 30 seconds can turn into half an hour if a mess happens.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
