Well thanks.. but they are nearly identical! The differences is the drain plug thread (and hence the plug itself) and the flange being lightened up with a small step cut. Was your first one raw aluminum? The anodizing really makes them feel cleaner because raw aluminum is so soft that it scratches up if you look at it wrong.

Both of my pans were anodized black. The plugs are much better to me (Smoother). The pain itself is just about spot on.

There is a Company in Aus, that I have purchased Fumoto valves from over the years that now do there own Valves.
They look really nice & seem to be an improvement over the Fumoto in some areas.
They also do a 9/16-18 threaded Valve (-6), 3/4-16 (-8), 7/8-14 (-10) also NPT sizes & others.

Cheers.

Nice find. It would actually be pretty cool to take one of the -10 pieces and put it on the side port of the oil pan!

Two things

Thing one. Phunk, you have been great to work with and your customer support is amazing and very very much appreciated. No wonder you are the go to guy for mods for so many here in the forums

Thing two. I doubt I will have any problems with my drain plug but if I ever do I'll happily drop a little more cash on my man phunk for a new one. Pulling and replacing the plug is the least difficult job of the oil swap process IMHO. an ez drain system seems almost (and please no offense intended to anyone when I say this)... Silly??

To each his own of course. And keep up the good work. I love the innovation that happens around these parts. (Pardon the pun)

It seems that way, but it's soooo nice. You just hook a hose from the nipple on it and put the other end in an empty oil jug. You don't spill a drop of oil. At least until you unscrew the filter.

Just got the latest version. Something this sexy deserves a bump

Spooler · 08-02-2023, 08:27 PM

Yup, the best you can get. I bought two. One for my first Nismo that was totalled and then on my second one I took off when going twin turbo.

phunk · 08-02-2023, 08:47 PM

Working on 15 more for the next run now!! Going to take a little time to get through them all since I am also working on some small construction projects around the shop and R&D stuff. But they will be coming along for the next couple weeks.

I need a black one so I can display the blue one that's currently on the car
