Hi Guys,

I am having some custom gauges made up to suit an R33 RB26DETT engine, I want to get Yellow and Red permanent warning marks put on the gauges to match the style of the existing gauges.

I am not quite sure where i would find this information, so putting it out there for the common consensus!

What would be consistent Warning and Danger levels for the following sensors:

Water Temperature (degrees Celsius)

Oil Temperature (degrees Celsius)

Oil Pressure (PSI)

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback

Nobody ? :)

from general research i can't find any definitive answers, do the following sound safe?

Water Temp - 90'

Oil Temp - 115' or 130'?

Oil pressure - this one seems hard to find, low pressure warning should be around 20PSI?

Didn't want to start a new thread. So I picked up one of the old school greddy electronic oil pressure gauges, it has a warning setting but I've got a feeling it's going to be for excessive oil pressure rather than low oil pressure. Meaning that if I set the warning for 1-2 bar it's going to have the light on whenever it's over that.

Anyone know?

Yeah you would think so, it's just that I already have the boost and temp gauges from ten years ago and the way u set them is to move the needle to where u want the warning light to come on and if the guage reads over that, on comes the warning light.

However if I set the gauge at say 1-2 bar( it reads to about 10 bar) then anything over 1-2 bar will see the light come on, which is the opposite to what I obviously want. I may just have to install it and see

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.

      The log you did with ECU voltage, can you log the other things too like rpm and oil pressure? Need all that info together to compare easily
