Oil Pressure Sender On Rb Engine

[WazR32GTSt]

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

this shows that it can be replaced on a 300zx...

there has to be hope for the skyline!

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).

Yeah ive been wondering about this aswel

[WazR32GTSt]

I just emailed VDO to see ifthey have a replacement OEM one..

anyone have a picture ofit on the engine block?

So i know what to look for?

thanks,

Warren

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]

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,

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

Hahaha good plan

But now we know who your supplier is

[WazR32GTSt]

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!)

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]

did you install it yourself, booster?

can you talk us through it?

[WazR32GTSt]

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

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

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

[sav man]

i'm sure i kept the filter in place, and only a little dribble of oil comes out.

[WazR32GTSt]

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

[sav man]

i can check it through nissan fast. if you send me your vin i can check yours too.

[WazR32GTSt]

cheers, hang on i'll get mine...

VIN: 6T91MPV97X2JFX011

HCR32-286947

can you do a fast screen capture on the car info as well, please

[sav man]

part number for the GTR & Gts-T are the same.

25070 - Sensor-Oil Pressure

25075M - Sensor-Oil Temp

Thay are the 2 sensors at the oil filter.

[kjb_r33]

I just done a search in FAST for the r32, the r33 and the Z32 and they all share the same sensor. Part number 25070 30P00.
