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

  • 1 month later...
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.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
