I got the Din Gauge pod from the Silvia, im gonna install it, but i have one qustion. For the Oil Pressure Sending Unit, is there just a universal type you can buy, or do I have to get the one that goes to this gauge. Or do i have to find one that reads between the perameters set by the gauge, like one that reads from 0-4kg/cm2 or 0-115psi? I tried searching but all i could find was stuff about the thread size.

It's basically like u said, u have to make sure that the sending unit matches the gauge somehow.For example i know that u can use a VDO sending unit with VDO and RACIMEX (no expierience with other makes) gauges but not with EQUOS(spelling?) gauges, cause they have a different reading range. There's a good chance that a lot of gauges will work with the same sending unit, u just have to find out which models work together.

Alright cool, thank for the response. Thats what I ended up finding out today, I was told that it has to be able to read the limits of the gauge, and have the proper resistance. Thanks again for the response.
