well ive got my hands on some defi gauges from nengun and one of them is an oil pressure gauge.

now in the manual it says that i can get an adaptor so i can retain my stock oil pressure switch and also run the gauge but over here stateside bspt is rare as is, so im kinda up the creek without a paddle.

anyone know where i can get a proper steel fitting so i can keep my idiot light and also use this gauge?

thanks.

Bottom of the page, is this what you are looking for?

not quite, looking for one that screws into the block like the stock idiot light adaptor does.

im planning on adding an external oil cooler to my 20 and i dont want to have 2 sandwitch adaptors on the tree, seems like that would be asking for trouble.

if ya have a spare oil pressure switch kicking round or u can take the old one out take it down to auto one or another parts store an match it up to the T piece. watch out but cos im pretty sure its a tapered thread aswell. i picked one up for $17.

more like the brass tee bit that has bspt male and female ends but the center hole is tapped for npt which is no good....

i could run a sandwitch plate but i want to add an oil cooler to the car and i dont think that stacking sandwitch adaptors is a good idea.

what is the thread on the oil pressure sender unit?

if they are NPT thread, doesn't look like you could put the sender in there ( not enough room)

maybe run a 45 degree elbow from the NPT fitting out to the sender.. so its more of a Y fitting

so i thought i'd ask considering its been over 2 months if you got your adapter and which one it was?

unfortunately not :D

the RB30 build has been delayed. was looking for this thread the other day actually..

now i have fixed up my daily driver, i'll head out and get them.

will also depend on what guage sender you have and the thread it has on it.

the links above only had the T piece as 1 NPT and 1 BSP..

have to check what thread type the autometer oil pressure sender uses, and i need 3 outlets too

1 for std pressure sender

1 for autometer guage sender

1 for VCT oil feed for rb25 head.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
