Does anyone know where the oil pressure sender is on the RB engine? specifically rb20det...

I know they play up on most skylines, and many other nissans such as 300zx

...I want to try to replace it to see if i can get my gauge working right ;)

Also, is an oil pressure sender a universal unit? or car specific?

You can always get a thread adaptor to make another one fit i think, but will it be sending the right values to hte gauge?

Or is there a replacement that works fine eg rb30e from R31 or VL? Or from another nissan eg maxima etc.?

Thanks for your help,

Warren

i mean sell them for the same price as i bought them to the hundreds of people on SAU that want to get theirs to work

i didn't men sell them for hundreds (as in dollars)

but if they are about $60 each, i might not be able to afford to make the outlay for many (am a student still!)

Oh, i see ;)

Just after I bought my R32 the oil guage dropped to zero.

I was so happy to find out it didn't need a rebuild I didn't mind forking out $250 for a genuine sender.

But they are known for being unreliable, and will just break again

or do you have a part number?

maybe its the same part number as the 300zx item in the above link.. then we can just get that VDO item!

$60 is a little bit cheaper than $250...

Yeah, if it works, and is THAT much cheaper, why not? Hell, a lot of people use 300zx afm's so why not use another part :P

OK bad news team.. VDO don't have a listing for the rb20det

BUT... not to despair just yet.. i think that's because they don't know what our original part is, rather than they don't have a replacement for our original part

i'm sure, as with everythign else, that these parts were used on many nissan models.

if i can get a part number, maybe i can find another car (eg 300zx or R31 skyline) that has the same unit and they might actually have a listing for that car.....

sav_man

do you have a part number for the nissan part?

or anyone else?

cheers,

Warren

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
