Hopefully it came with an oil pressure sending unit. that you replace your stock sender with. and from there is just like 2 wires. didnt it come with a diagram?

[Shocker]

there is a thread discussing this like 3 posts down man... o.O come on now.

that is correct. Yet it does not say how to speciffically install.

STEP 1: acquire the oil pressure gauge with an oil pressure sender/sensor. Ensure that it is 1/8 bspt fitment or you will need 1/8 npt to 1/8 bspt adapter. which can be found at http://www.hiprollc.com for $20 made of steel soo it wont brake on ya. http://www.courteseyparts.com has one for less but it's made of brass from nismo and people have had bad reviews with those items breaking and spewing out your engine oil.

Step 2: Your gonna need 2 things Power(12vdc) & Ground. from an ign source like tap into your power from your stereo and find a good chasis ground.

Step 3: Find a place to mount the gauge connect the power and ground and the pressure gauge sender/sensor. BAM!!!!! your done. If you need pics i'd be happy to do a write up gentlemen.

correct again. I had to email a mr. browning which is the sales rep there and he has them but not listed html style. apparently it comes from a place called turner toys. wait one! i'll take pics and post up.

ok this is my setup from ebay. I've been wanting one of these for about 2yrs. I finally found one from one of the options magazines. and did a search and there's quite a few on ebay.

It is a fan controller, water temp, oil temp gauge. All in 1. Comes with two 1/8 bspt senders/sensors. Best thing is it's in engrish!!!

the adapter is on the right bottom of pic. Has 3 1/8bspt-1/8npt. Checked them all already and all the sensors fit. This thing is TITS!!!!

[Joe]

how does the oil temp sender work? im trying to figure out the easiest way to install mine and making an oil cooler kit sounds easier than dropping the pan haha

[USMCgetsome]

NO NEED TO DROP PAN OR OIL COOLER. All you need is the $20 adapter it screws either on to the block or on the oil filter adapter which both have the oil pressure sensor already installed from nissan. Standby i have another pic for that.

[USMCgetsome]

i can't get it to drop down to meet the requirement. I can send it via email.

[Joe]

well heres the thing, a temp sensor shouldnt see pressures nearing 80psi. thats bad for the sensor

thats why its usually done in the pan vs tee'd off the pressure sender.

i hate to hijack your thread, do you still need to keep the stock oil pressure sensor for the ecu?

[sparksta]

not in a rb20 atleast, the ecu never sees the oil pressure it just goes to the cluster
