grrrrrrrrrrrr

the guy from VDO emailed again, and even with the nissan part number that i gave, he still says there is no VDO item!

I gave him the part number that was in the aus300zx.com website to see if he has that in his stupid computer. i have no idea why its not coming up as a listing...

will keep you posted.

ok more bad news..

the moron at VDO who is emailing me, still insists they don't have a OPS for us

he won't confirm that the 300zx sender works at all.. he is dodging the question coz he is a f**king moron

i'll have to do some more searching i think

is it 100% confirmed that its the same sensor for 300zx/R32/R33??

what about any other nissans

thanks

Just some observations that might help:

1. Genuine OPS from Nissan is around $150 (trade....add maybe $20 for retail).

2. OPS PN is 25070-30P01 (R32 GTR and GTS4, R33 RB25DET and Z32 300ZX). FAST does show an alternate number for some models (25070-55S60), but it also shows the -30P01 as the direct alternative.

3. The VDO OPS shown on the 300ZX link looks identical to the type fitted to local spec R31 Skylines (RB30) as standard. VDO supplied some parts for Oz spec R31's, inc the instrument cluster and some other sensors, basically to build up local content. Be warned that quality is not great.

well spokt to some people who have done this on their 300zx, and they have confimed that te unit does work fine, but still suffers from the same problem as the stock OPS

this leads me to believe that the problem is not the OPS unit itself, but something aboutthe way it is mounted or connected

there's nothing wrong with the stock OPS...

the only thing wrong with them is the fact that they're getting close to 15 years old and as such, are f**ked.

what happens is the rubber seal around them fails, and lets oil inside the unit itself.

from what i've heard, if you replace it with another factory one (or in this case a VDO one) it should be fine for another 15 years.

*note* this is what i've been told in terms of why they play up etc

well i have spoken to a good mate who is a member of aus300zx.com

he said he changed to the VDO sensor and it failed in 4 months

then he changed to the stock sensor and it has been ok for about 6 months so far

BUT.. he did some kind of electrical modification to the OPS before he putit back on

apparently (according to him) there's 2 plugs on the OPS, but the stock wire only connects to one of them

He grounded the other plug to the chassis... and he hasn't had a problem since...

apparently an autoelectrician told him to do this

I want to try it out, but haven't had time to try and get to the OPS

Hardcore thread bump.

Has any one used an aftermarket oil pressure sender to replace the factory unit?

I want to wire in an aftermarket oil pressure sender into the Vipec as a fail safe (if it sees less than 5psi to shut the engine down) but want to do it with a new oil pressure sender as my stock one acts up.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
