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

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 :P

Hahaha good plan

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

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
