I also am interested in the oil pressure gauge setup =)

I have seen that gauge thing that you bought before. Seems like a good purchase for the readings it gives. Im sure its better than nothing and it deals with things that your idiot light would warn you about anyhow =)

Oil pressure/temp is easy if you've the little sandwich part that sits between your oil filter and the block as I know the greddy one has 2 ports on it that are sealed but can be used to plug in the different sensors or if you happen to be fortunate enough to have the greddy oil pan, there's another port there for the temp. Water temp is going to be a bit more difficult, you've got to use a drill and tap on some part that is metal (like the top of your radiator or enlarge the burping hole on your engine) and stick it in there. Another possibility is to punch a hole in your upper radiator hose and seal it up from there so it would resemble the blitz upper radiator hose for the SR in some way or another then when it's all dry and built up, put a nice hose clamp on it. Amp gauges, well that's just basically an ammeter that's got an analog gauge on it. So if that's the case, stick it in series on the power line you want to monitor.

Greddy also makes a sleeve that you put in the rad. hose. After you cut the hose in half the sleeve splices it together and it has a bung for the sensor. Oil pressure can be done by buying some fittings at NAPA or your favorite car parts store to make a T-fitting that the stock oil pressure sensor and new sensor thread in to.
