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.

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
