Does anyone know where the oil pressure sender is on the RB engine? specifically rb20det...

I know they play up on most skylines, and many other nissans such as 300zx

...I want to try to replace it to see if i can get my gauge working right ;)

Also, is an oil pressure sender a universal unit? or car specific?

You can always get a thread adaptor to make another one fit i think, but will it be sending the right values to hte gauge?

Or is there a replacement that works fine eg rb30e from R31 or VL? Or from another nissan eg maxima etc.?

Thanks for your help,

Warren

if i can get a replacement from VDO and get it to work, i might buy a few and sell them for the hundreds of ppl on here that would love their stock gauge to work :P

Hahaha good plan

But now we know who your supplier is

i mean sell them for the same price as i bought them to the hundreds of people on SAU that want to get theirs to work

i didn't men sell them for hundreds (as in dollars)

but if they are about $60 each, i might not be able to afford to make the outlay for many (am a student still!)

Oh, i see ;)

Just after I bought my R32 the oil guage dropped to zero.

I was so happy to find out it didn't need a rebuild I didn't mind forking out $250 for a genuine sender.

But they are known for being unreliable, and will just break again

or do you have a part number?

maybe its the same part number as the 300zx item in the above link.. then we can just get that VDO item!

$60 is a little bit cheaper than $250...

Yeah, if it works, and is THAT much cheaper, why not? Hell, a lot of people use 300zx afm's so why not use another part :P

OK bad news team.. VDO don't have a listing for the rb20det

BUT... not to despair just yet.. i think that's because they don't know what our original part is, rather than they don't have a replacement for our original part

i'm sure, as with everythign else, that these parts were used on many nissan models.

if i can get a part number, maybe i can find another car (eg 300zx or R31 skyline) that has the same unit and they might actually have a listing for that car.....

sav_man

do you have a part number for the nissan part?

or anyone else?

cheers,

Warren

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?

      There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)

      What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
