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 :merli:

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!

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

Edit Reason: Grammatical and spelling errors of an Asian

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...

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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
