Ok.You can remove the stock oil pressure switch and get a adaptor and hook it up there..Its right next to the oil filter.Looks kinda like a spark plug with a wire harness at the end of it..

Came with an adaptor, don't know if it's the proper one or not though.

remove the stock oil sensor completely and replace it with the sensor for your oil pressure gauge. by removing the stock unit, your oil light on the cluster wont light up (aka it wont work - no sensor). that is the easiest way to install, you can also get an adapter with the same size fitting so you can have both sensors. whichever you prefer.

Most likely the thread on the adapter you have will be 1/8 NPT thread. You need 1/8 BSPT which is a bit different than NPT thread. So, you would need 1/8 BSPT -> 1/8 NPT adapter.

This is a rare item.. I think SPL parts sell them for 15 bucks or so. I just got my self a Nissport adapter which costs alot but it is fully stainless steel and not a "T" so it won't break easily. I am keeping my stock oil pressure switch as well as the sender.

Yew, I know the stock switch is utterly useless but I like keeping things the way they were.
