How to fit oil temp probe & find right vac line 4 boost & oil gauges!

[nizmokid]

has anyone fitted a oil temp probe into there car how did you attach it to the sump (punch a hole into it or drill) I know the oil has to be drained. do you remove the sump from the car????

also I am fitting a boost gauge to the car which vac line do I tap off in a R33. can someone point out the right vac line to tap into?

a pic would be good!

cheers:D

You can stick a t-piece in just about bloody anywhere off the manifold or even the reg at the front of the manifold. Can even T it off of where the standard one goes in. Try different things, you wont go far wrong mate.

anyone on oil temp probe fitting?

Oil temps are pretty easy to put in.

With my VDO oil temp gauge it came with a fitting that replaces the sump plug. You take the sump plug out (put it in a safe stop !!) screw the adaptor fitting in it's spot then screw the oil temp probe into the adaptor and your all done.

You've just got to get the right thread type on the adaptor. I can't remember what it is off the top of my head, but it's quite fine. I rang up Nissan and asked them and told me over the phone.

I was told to fit the probe to the side of the sump not the bottom of it. does it realy matter?

[Jay95R33]

Really not sure what the difference would be. As long as the probe is fully submerged it should be fine.

I've had no problems with clearance, my car sit's pretty low, and in the 12 months it's been there it hasn't hit anything.

Hi nizmokid, we put the oil temperator probe in the spare fittings on the remote oil filter adaptor on the R32 GTST race car. That way we can measure oil temperature before the cooler and after it.

If you don't have a remote filter, then in the sump plug hole is perfectly OK. I have also seen long probes that go down the dip stick hole.

Hope that helps.

is there some sort of piggyback computer that can be hooked up that can monitor and display oil temp & pressure, water temp, fuel pressure and boost all on the one screen. Like the r34

[nizmokid]

Has anybody had any trouble fitting there temp probe into the middle of the 12mm sumpplug in the rb25 ?

The 12mm sumpplug is just to small to fit the probe into the centre of it.
