sandwich plate can be used for any oil sensing application...

i use one for my oil pressure gauge

go to www.justjap.com and get a "sandwich plate" for $30 or so:

http://www.justjap.com/parts_ngauges.htm (its the last one on that page)

that allows you to screw the oil pressure sender onto that

then, screw that in between your oil filter and block and wire it up!

i have attached a picture of the sandwich plate with OPS attached when i did it on my car. hope that helps!

cheers,

Warren

I have that as standard on my car for the stock gauge. Surely you can just run it from the original sender (providing its accurate). Dont all RB's have a similar sender unit for the stock gauge? Either that or remove the (possibly dodgy) original sender and fit the new sender into the original location. if need be you can splice the original gauge in with the new ones wire so both work...

Edited by Godzilla32

you can't run it from the original sender.. that's what is the problem with the stock gauge

and if you remove the original sender, then you will lose the stock gauge functionality - yes it doesn't work anyway, but it has a "low pressure" light that does work and is useful to keep going

so really going a sandwich plate is the only option to keep the standard gauge and the low pressure light, whilst also being able to run an additional gauge.

Deren, when you say "you have that as standard" do you mean the sender itself, or the sandwich plate? i wasn't aware of any cars that came out of hte factory with a sandwich plate for any of its gauges..

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
