  1. You should get them a couple of days after Oxford transfers the money and it clears.
  2. Sorry, no defensiveness intended. I'm here to answer all your questions.
  3. Horses for courses. Just be aware that the nipple adds an extra 18mm to the valve's length. Non-nippled with out postage is $49, nippled $54. Postage is normally $7 So at $41 delivered, that's not a bad deal.
  4. Yes, the nippled version is $4 extra. Unless your sump drain hole is behind a sump guard (and you couldn't be bothered taking the sump guard off every time you change the oil), you don't need the nippled one (to attach a hose to). Just open the valve and let the oil drop straight down into your oil pan.
  5. Yes, they fit SR20. Same F-103 Oh, in case everyone didn't read my reply to Oxford on the first page, the prices are for F-103, non-nippled. I assumed that everyone on Skylines Australia would be getting one for their Skyline. If you are getting one for a car other than a Skyline, please check the part number and price for that vehicle and let Oxford know. If it is originally $49, then you will get the same discount. If it's more, or you need an adaptor (eg. Honda S2000), then the price will be different.
  6. Hi Guys, Just thought I'd check on this group buy and answer a few questions. Thanks to Oxford for setting this up. I'm sure you guys will enjoy the valve. A lot of questions are answered here http://www.fumoto.com.au/info.htm Some of these questions have been answered, but I'll confirm the answers. There are two versions, non-nippled and nippled. The nipple is cast into it so, no, it's not removable. It's double-action, so you have to push it "up" then across through 90 degrees to have the ball valve completely open. It is still quite stiff. No way it would open due to vibration or hard jolt. Unless the sump drain is recessed or there is a cross member/ sway bar in the way, there will be no problem fitting the valve. Take a look at the pics and you will get an idea of how it mounts. These are not magnetic in any way. All late model (1990 on) accepts F-103 (12mm-1.25). Pre 1990 - F102 (PF-3/8). Please check your sump plug if unsure (yes, it will be a pain, but you only have to do it once). Will also fit RB25. Please note, Honda S2000 takes an F-106 and requires an ADP-106 (adaptor to allow the valve to clear the sump). This will add significantly to how much the valve sticks out, please be aware of this. I estimate 40-50mm in total. Locks open so you can leave it to drain. Standard delivery charge to anywhere in Australia for any quantity. Included in your price. If you get crap in it, hose it down, it won't mind. Stainless steel ball. If it leaks, I'll replace it...even in 10 years. Keep your receipt. In total, it should only be sticking out 10mm more than your sump plug. As well, it will be on an angle so the actual distance from the ground is not excessive. http://www.fumoto.com.au/sizes.htm Personally, I don't think you will need it (unless you go offroad in the Skyline), but for your own piece of mind, you can add a hose clamp, or use a small (1-2mm thick) cable tie. I can include some cable ties in your group buy (Oxford - please remind me). Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers, Jack EDIT: Had too many quotes.
