Hey Guys just looking around my garage and i found a couple of procomp electronics gauges i found (oil temp + oil pressure)

SO i thought since i on uni holidays now that i'd give a go at installing these i got them out of there packets etc and i am finding it hard to install them, i mean i can hook up the posive and negitive wires easily to make the gauge work with accesories on etc that bit is easy it when comming to install the sensors for oil temp and oil pressure...

I have been on google etc and tryed looking for installation guides etc

Can i use the oil temp sensor and screw it into the sump for the oil??

Please guys if you have links specifically relating to the RB25DE or DET please let me know etc i don't want these guages going to waste...regards hamish

i personally wouldnt wire the oil temp/pressure senders to the sump...

you can buy a sandwich plate to attach these sensors onto.

Thank you EUG, where do you buys these sandwich plates and where exactly do they fit? near the oil filter..?? Are they easy to install? My oil Tempre ture pressure sensor would screw stright into the bung outlet, i'll make sure of this when i go to change my oil n filter next week better to try when sump is empty!! lol imagine that...But yeah i agree sump would be probably a bad option as it would/could be damaged alot more easy may also cause leaks etc... Regards Hamish

      Great work! Give it a clean up with some Emery paper, and I'd run a thread die over the threads too to clean them up. It will make reinstall much easier, and also life easier for the next time it needs to come out.

      I'm not a fan of high humidity, it's one reason I don't mind being further inland out Ipswich, except the last 3 odd years, the drought broke, and it won't stop raining, which is making the humidity nearly unbearable when the rains are in during summer! For me, my body hates the cold, once the cold sets into my body, I'm totally screwed. I end up with severe muscle spasm in my back/shoulder muscles, and it feels like someone is trying to tear the muscles out. I have no issues with it getting stupid hot, so long as the humidity goes away. So the last 3 years as above, have been woeful! Ha ha. However, June 1st, and I'm only just converting from shorts and a tee, to long pants and a t shirt. And that's mainly as it's a bit wet and miserable and I wanted to work on a car.

      I much prefer colder weather to hot weather, and especially prefer cold to hot and humid, Goulburn does gets pretty warm in the hotter months, but, I've found the humidity there is not as painful as even Sydney, the humidity up north is to oppressing for this old rooster  In saying this, it does get rather "nippy" in Goulburn for early morning, late in the evening walks, but nothing that a layer or two, some thermal gloves, and a beanie doesn't fix to make it an enjoyable experience, which is much more bearable to me than the oppression of heat and humidity,  especially at night when your trying to sleep If I recall correctly, a "wise man" once said that the "Southern Tablelands" was gods country, and I will not argue that point with him for the fear of a "permaban" LOL In car part related news: My intake is currently in Botany getting processed for the last leg of its shipping journey to my door

      Had a go at the stuck crush tube this afternoon. Tried things like grips and a chain wrench first but wouldn't just twist straight off. So got to work with a drill. Started small and kept a depth stop on to make sure I didn't drill into the bolt. Made a line of drill holes all the way up and enlarged them. Then a combination of chisel and Dremel to split it all the way up. Levered the split to get oil in there and eventually it gave a bit while levering. Worked it back and forth with loads more oil till it was spinning freely, then with grips I could work it downwards and off. And no significant damage to the bolt (not by me anyway - just the 27 years of rust)
