well ive got my hands on some defi gauges from nengun and one of them is an oil pressure gauge.

now in the manual it says that i can get an adaptor so i can retain my stock oil pressure switch and also run the gauge but over here stateside bspt is rare as is, so im kinda up the creek without a paddle.

anyone know where i can get a proper steel fitting so i can keep my idiot light and also use this gauge?

thanks.

Bottom of the page, is this what you are looking for?

not quite, looking for one that screws into the block like the stock idiot light adaptor does.

im planning on adding an external oil cooler to my 20 and i dont want to have 2 sandwitch adaptors on the tree, seems like that would be asking for trouble.

if ya have a spare oil pressure switch kicking round or u can take the old one out take it down to auto one or another parts store an match it up to the T piece. watch out but cos im pretty sure its a tapered thread aswell. i picked one up for $17.

more like the brass tee bit that has bspt male and female ends but the center hole is tapped for npt which is no good....

i could run a sandwitch plate but i want to add an oil cooler to the car and i dont think that stacking sandwitch adaptors is a good idea.

what is the thread on the oil pressure sender unit?

if they are NPT thread, doesn't look like you could put the sender in there ( not enough room)

maybe run a 45 degree elbow from the NPT fitting out to the sender.. so its more of a Y fitting

so i thought i'd ask considering its been over 2 months if you got your adapter and which one it was?

unfortunately not :D

the RB30 build has been delayed. was looking for this thread the other day actually..

now i have fixed up my daily driver, i'll head out and get them.

will also depend on what guage sender you have and the thread it has on it.

the links above only had the T piece as 1 NPT and 1 BSP..

have to check what thread type the autometer oil pressure sender uses, and i need 3 outlets too

1 for std pressure sender

1 for autometer guage sender

1 for VCT oil feed for rb25 head.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
