Looking for what the dipstick goes into, that is pressed into the oil pump. Somehow managed to bend my **** when I took It off the old pump I guess.

I bent the heck out of mine removing it too. As a matter of fact, I think it came out in 2 or more pieces, lol.

Good luck guys. IIRC, the RWD and FWD ones aren't the same. Maybe if you got a FWD tube AND dipstick? I have a feeling it would be sitting right in the middle of the PS pump...

It's like that guy I sold the complete RB20DET motor for $400.00 and he just took the turbo and left the motor. Oh well, I got my money, he got his car back on the road and some lucky bastard got a free engine.

It looks alot like the ca18et one. I'll have to pull out my old engine and compare.....but if it's the same, they should still be avail. from Nissan.....or atleast they were 2 years ago, when I had my ca18et rebuilt.
