Okay so i have the glow shift oil pressure gauge and the thread pitch for it is the 1/8 npt. From the searching that i've done i found the CA uses the 1/8 bspt i think??? correct me if i'm wrong but trying to make sure i have the correct adaptor for it. So far i found one for like 10.00 bucks but was wondering if there is one i can use without having to use either the stock one or the aftermarket one. Basically to run both. I'm one who doesn't trust sandwich adapters too well but that could be a last resort if need be. Any ideas and/or know of to where to get it is greatly appreciated

I have the GlowShift tinted gauges, and I just used the sandwich adapter (4x 1/8 NPT holes) and it's worked fine so far. Be sure to use teflon tape on any pretty much any and all thread tho...

I'm currently after an adapter for my H2O temp gauge. They have the little adapters for one thread to another and they also have the upper radiator hose inline thing. Does anyone know the thread size/pitch for the stock H2O temp sensor for the dash (not the ECU one) or the diamater of the stock upper rad hose? ...sorry to thread jack...

thanks guys i'll see what i can find and look into that nismo one also. For your upper radiator hose the adaptor you need is the 32mm adapter for the water temp sensor i just ordered mine.
