Yup... that's how I did it... Had a slight issue with the port on the block since it's BPT instead of NPT, just had to tap it out to 1/8 NPT for the fitting. The sender unit for some reason just fit right into the T



Note: motor is on a stand upside down.

That'll work. I would put the sender unit facing perpendicular to oil flow and have the oil feed running parallel to the outlet on the block. But this way will work...

Mine is as nissanfanatic described and I have no issues with it.

BTW, you'll read all over the internet that you need to run a 1/16" restrictor in the feed line...DON'T DO THAT!!!

I did it and it cost me a turbo. Now, I run a -10an drain and -4an supply, no problems at all.

Kaleo55,

Do you have the JDMsport oil cooler/filter relocator they sell on ebay? If so how do you like it, does it fit well?

If you look to the right of the stock oil pressure unit, there is a hole with a plug in it. I plan on using a 1/8 npt to tap it and using a 90 elbow there.

I thought restrictions are suppose to be 1/8"?
