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.

I thought the gts didnt have an oil temp standard but if they did yeah u dont need a S/plate

Oil temp/Oil pressure/Factory gauge,,,all 3 can be run off the factory location using adaptors. It's an easy job.

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.

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?
