you'll need a sandwhich plate for the oil filter or a relocator kit with appropriate sensor fittings. pretty much jus screw on the sensor to the plate/kit and run the wire back to the gauge.. and electrics jus +tive & -tive as usual.

hope that helps :D

same deal. the hose should have a fitting on it, probably 1/8NPT. you need to either replace a factory sensor, or get an adapter that will make 1 1/8NPT hole into 2, or use a sandwich plate with the right holes.

personally I wouldn't use one on a road car. The are not strictly legal either. plus it's pretty toasty, and messy if/when they rupture.

Ok cheers thats all i wanted to know,also the gauge is going under the bonnet as i dont trust it either but it is the most accurate way to check oil pressure

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
