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

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
