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.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
