WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 http://www.aus300zx.com/tech/ops/ops.htm this shows that it can be replaced on a 300zx... there has to be hope for the skyline!

sav man Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) it's on the oil filter connector. I have 2, think one is for the warning light, and one is for the gauge(i don't have any aftermarket gauges).

sav man Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 if you find the oil finter (mine is under the plenum in the middle of the block on the GTR), there should 2 wires going to the bottom of the filter. those wires are joined to the senders.

WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 awesome i know where the oil filter is.. i do services myself so it can be accessed with the filter still on? when removed, would it leak much oil? or just a trickle? cheers, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/#findComment-2336641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 if i can get a replacement from VDO and get it to work, i might buy a few and sell them for the hundreds of ppl on here that would love their stock gauge to work Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/#findComment-2336645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 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!)

B0oStEr Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 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.

WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 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...

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/#findComment-2336705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sav man Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 i'm sure i kept the filter in place, and only a little dribble of oil comes out. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/#findComment-2336850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WazR32GTSt Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/126565-oil-pressure-sender-on-rb-engine/#findComment-2337761 Share on other sites More sharing options...
