I noticed that the Zs and the VH45s use the same oil pressure sender, which should mean if theres a bolt in oil pressure gauge for a Z, it should work on a Q.

Anyone have any recommendations???

so your stock gauge doesn't work? I have no idea as to wether an aftermarket would read correctly hoked to an OE sender but I'd imagine an adapter could easilly be made to adapt an aftermarket sender in place of the OE

on the Q45, there is no pressure GAUGE, there is only a switch that activates the idiot lite.

I wonder if a Z32 pressure setup could be utilized.... ill have to look at that.

ahhhh, well the Z32 gauge is a part of the main displayso that's out, clearly it's electronic so i suppose the first thing is to determine what kind of signal and range the stock sender puts out andthen finding out what kind of signal and range electronic aftermarkets work on, I personally have no experience with electronic aftermarket gauges, I would however suspect that being newer sophisticated cars there is likely a sensor voltage supply and the reading is based on the return, I would suspect most electronic aftermarkets would work in the same manor but thas just my theory
