Hey,

I'm in the process of installing my guages on my R33 GTST. I have installed the boost and water temp but I'm not too sure where the oil temp one goes.

The oil temp guage is the sort of one where you don't need to run an oil line through the car (stuff that!).

Any info would be great, thanks.

Remove the oil filter from your engine, screw this sandwich plate onto the engine and then put the filter back on.

Gives you 2 or 3 places to put in sensors. Im oil temp and oil pressure guages off mine

Awesome as - thanks heaps ;)

i got a sandwich plate like the one in the pic above but when screwing it in the main centre bolt(big one) its not long so it only screws in 1 thread to the block so its not really secure? anyone else have that problem?

you need to get a thread adaptor thing to make it longer.

heres the link to it from silvia nsw.

www.mscn.com.au

turns out the length of the bolt on my housing was standard. i went to SSS and got another one and its the same length.

seems to me that the justjap centre nipple is designed to only screw on for 1.5 to 2 turns (which doesnt seem safe to me).

so i paid a visit to Motorsport Connections where they provided me with the same thread size nipple but longer so it bolts onto the housing safely.

only thing to note is that the thickness of the nipple has to be machined down on a lathe to the same thickness as the JustJap one to fit into the sandwich plate.

im at work so i cant link up the pictures.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
