dunno wat brand u have but i have defi, water temp is direct screw in into my greddy top rad pipe, oil temp and pressure direct screw into my sandwich plate from greddy oil filter relocation, so u at least need a sandwhich plate for that, if your water temp came with a little bit of pipe with a hole in it, you need to cut into your water hose and put it inbetween with cable ties or clamps, should all be in the kit, unless u went budget guages ?

Easy enough to DIY, I did the exact same thing with the exact same gauges not a week ago.

You need a oil sandwhich plate and a rad hose thingo with a temp sensor in it.

If your NoR I dont mind giving you a hand, or you can come look at my setup and I can help you install ?

The Autogauge ones have a bit of an odd wiring setup.

Only other thing to note is with the top rad pipe setup and the sandwhich plate your better off doing a service at the same time, saves having to drop coolant and oil just to install them.

Incoming thread highjack:

What do you guys recommend for a good quality Oil Temp gauge? (besides DEFI cause that costs a small fortune)

Autometer.. I had Autometer mechanical gauges then upgraded to cheap electric gauges (Autogauge), now upgrading to Autometer electric gauges. The temp gauges aren't that pricey (~US$60 for 2-5/8" electric half sweep), but the full sweep oil pressure gauge is US$190 and the 30psi boost gauge is US$200 :) Going for Ultralites :)

not 100% where to get one from as the dude I bought mine off threw them in. Gimme a sec ill google some and see if I can find them.

cheers mate, i appreciate it. i got a sandwich plate today, prolli get the radiator hose adaptor thing 2morrow. just trying figure out how to connect the sandwich plate? :P

is it ok to connect all three gauges to the cigerette lighter or will this just cause a fuse to blow? where do u recommend i get the power source from? also, is it the oil pressure or oil temp gauge that connects to the sandwich plate or they both do?

cheers

Run 12V from somewhere reliable (hell even from the battery), fuse that line. Run to a relay and use the cigarette lighter feed to switch the relay.

That's the principle I used when rewiring my stereo, carpc, monitor and gauges.

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
