post-26133-1153805648.jpgwondering if any one on here has seen/used one of these fumoto valves on their sump drain before as i am gonna get one to try.

and if any one has how well did it work was it easy to use etc?

the page is as follows.

www.fumoto.com.au

here is a pic

So it's like a quick release for your sump drain hole?

Looks alright, how much is it?

Also might just have to check clearances on lowered cars, but it reckons it only sticks out 10mm further than the stock sump plug....

they are $49 as in the pic or there is a model with a hose nipple on the outer end for $56 plus delivery which within aus is around $7 it said on the site, so it saves buying a new sump plug gasket at $7.50 a pop every time you drop your oil.

i dunno if they would do group buys or not as it is only a very recent release. i will try and work out how to put a direct link on the page and you can all see for yourself that there ghas been a fair bit of work in designing the thing and that they are now standard equipment on some car makers now.

but even so they are a good buy i reckon cos you can release the oil at its best time (when its really hot) so you get most of it out before it thickens.

i will contact them and see if they are interested. i have ordered mine already and am just waiting to hear back from them so will ask them when i do and will let you all know on here as soon as i find out

honestly how hard is the sump plug to remove? the same plug on mine has been used about 20 times and never leaked a drop. they will either start leaking after a while or accidently get unlocked and dump all your oil, or get ripped off from a rock or something on the road.

sounds like a risk to me, and u dont get burnt by the oil if u pull it off, its easy to unscrew it and move ya hand away as its coming out without getting a single drop on yaself.

id rather put that $50 in my fuel tank :(

    • That may not be so tricky with a changeover relay (again, with LED indicator only to reduce load on existing headlight + source)  30 to indicator + globe side 86 and 87 to headlight parker + 87a to original indicator + chassis side 85 to chassis/earth repeat on each corner, sorted, no diode required
    • There might have been some "hard core" decalcification going on in the cells to create that noise As for chargers, I stick all our cars on a trickle charger every few months to "clean out their pipes/cells", the Mrs battery in her Mistsu ASX is still running its OEM from new battery 10 years on, and that thing does alot of short drives, and it can sit around for ages without a good long run
    • I'm not sure the diode only will give the desired result. I'd probably approach it with a couple of relays (And you still might need a diode too!). You need to be able to break the constant feed from the headlight to the orange corner globe when the indicator is flashing. Not knowing which Skyline we're talking about specifically here too (And it may not matter, but I don't know the R34 column switches) you'd likely need to rewire the stalk, so that the indicator power itself no longer runs through the stalk too, as now you need it able to trigger a relay that will break the constant supply from the headlights to the indicator, then you'll need a separate relay to trigger the indicators to come on (Replacing the internal action of the indicator stalk).
    • Weird story from me My Toyota 86 was with Commbank comprehensive but for market value (who they use to underwrite is unknown) When I munted it beyond financially viable repair in 2020, rear end smashed in to the point it bent the rear quarter and roof, they knew I paid $31k cash for it because I told them, they still paid me out $38k, as all the 2017 limited edition variants with typical Km and condition were going for between $36-41k, so they did weird math and came up with $38k I never officially mentioned any of the mods that I had done, but as they were not the cause of the crash they were not fussed at all, the insurance inspector actually asked if I wanted to replace all the mods with the OEM stuff if I still had it laying around before they took the car I still came out of it behind though, because I had probably dropped $20k in it with the suspension (bent after the prang), wheels (bent as well) and "other" mods, that the inspector asked about But still, as the market value was higher than what I initially paid, and they paid out market value To say I was surprised with the outcome would be an understatement  Weird, but true, but probably just lucky with the inspector on the day I guess  Sadly, I don't think if I munted the old NC1 MX5 I would get the same result Meh, pay to play
    • Well, the car is back, all straight and shiny, for how long for is anyone's guess  After picking it up we went for a bit of a drive, Jebus I really enjoy driving this little thing, hopefully the weather let's us go for a nice long cruise this weekend as it will be out of my hands for at least a few days next week when it heads back into Mania on Monday It's weird, whilst I do always enjoy going for a drive, the NC makes me feel like a kid who has just got his first car, and they just want to drive wherever and whenever they can I really need to look into the MX5 Club of NSW
