Mate,,, yes you do need a change of senders but they come with the gauges and with adaptors you can keep your original dash gaugeand it's sender. You do not need a sandwich plate thats just a waste of money. I haven't seen any sandwich plates with accessory holes for senders yet.

Neil.

i used a sandwich plate to attach my oil pressure sender for an aftermarket gauge.. $30 from jusjap.com

it had 3 holes to attach threads onto

and the gauge i bought came with the new sender that i screwed onto the sandwich plate with some thread tape.. took me 5mins on top of an oil change time to install. piece of piss.

I haven't seen any sandwich plates with accessory holes for senders yet.

lol you aren't looking hard enough big fella! On my greddy kit it has 2 at the filter head take off plate, and 3 more on the remote filter mount plate. so I can install pre cooler, or post cooler or both, plus a spare for pressue. BUT you are right though, you don't need one just to run gauges (mine is there to run oil cooler, the gauge fittings were incidental).

Anyone know the factory thread size for the RB20DET oil pressure sender? Because the aftermarket autoguage oil pressure sender I bought is 1/8"-27NPT. I tried installing this into the factory location on the engine block but it just doesn't want to screw in. I didn't want to try any harder incase I accidently thread the hole. I've searched the manual and it doesn't state the thread size. Anyone know from previous installs?

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
