Oil Temp Gauge Headache!

[MR34GT]

Hey guys,

Picked up a few gauges to stick in my R34 GTT skyline. They are going to replace the factory ones in the tripple gauge cluster. Only problem is tho that with the oil temp gauge i bought there was no sender included with the kit. Just a grey wire that the instrucions (if you could even class them as that!) say to hook up to the oil temp sender or something.

Anyone know if i could just tap into the wiring loom from the original gauges and use the wire that used to run the stock oil temp gauge???

im guessing so.. cut and splice.

from looking at the GTT i think the sender is on the side of the block before the filter. has wires comin out.

but dont hold me to it.

thats if th nissan sender has the right voltage values

im pretty sure you need a sender and the wires comes with it,

cotact sl!de, or Psi parts

im getting my this week, one of send has worm off, im ordering it from psi parts, ive got Defi ones.

Yeah i just tried splicing it then but the voltage output doesnt seem right. For now ive put in a few resistors so the factory gauge is reading about the same as the new gauge but this still seems very dodgy.
