want to add 3 gauge pack. Temp, oil pressure, and volt gauges. Where do I tap for oil pressure and temp gauges on a 1991 hardbody PU 2.4 litre maunual transmission. I think I can get temp gauge and know volt gauge but where can i tap in for oil pressure? Any help is much appreciated Thanks. Also what type of fittings needed for oil pressure, doubt the ones that come with gauge pack will fit nissan.

You can get a T-style fitting that will thread in where the oil pressure sensor threads in. The oil pressure sensor is the bell shaped unit thats on the aluminm block where the oil filter threads onto. So, basically you will need a non brass fitting that will have a male set of threads, and two female set of threads for this two work. Typically its BSPT style (british style) so you might have to tap the aluminum block for a standard 1/8npt. peace.
