Eoi For Group Buy Of Fumoto Quick Oil Drain Valve

[JamesK]

If this is going to be a GB - please use the GB section and follow the GB requirements - we have em for a reason

Until some asshat lets the oil outta your car in a carpark/driveway and then you are in the shit

Lol i know the rules ash thats why this is only an EOI if it becomes a GB i will post in the GB section. Thanks for your concern though

[R31Nismoid]

I know i know.

Just a reminder mate

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

[JamesK]

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

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'd like one, when is this happening? i was almost ready to order one today, but i had already changed my oil, so i didn't bother, but if this becomes a GB, consider me in.

[Sunkist]

me wants.

[noone]

)Had something very similar possibly slightly smaller bore when open (if ya knowwhatImean) on my car originally

was so slow waiting for the oil to drain replaced with magnetic sump plug much happier

just sayin

[omega36]

I'm interested... any movement on a group buy? Doesn't matter too much though, the price is already OK

[JamesK]

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

[Birds]

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...

[JamesK]

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

Keep your hands clean!

Time for an oil change!

Group buy? 5% discount? Dude the valve is like $30, just buy one already!

[Sunkist]

ive got a new one at home if anyone wants.. doesnt fit on the sr because of the ARC sump.

[philmak]

^^price?

[Sunkist]

what i got it for which is like $51.

dont think it will fit on your SR either as Im pretty sure nissan changed sump plug sizes in imports after '97

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.
