I'd say the sump is a little less accurate, but easy to do. I only use the guage to see changes in heat as opposed to exact temperatures. I'm very used to where it normally sits under different tyres of driving and it reacts very quickly to changes :dry:

Ahh i see.. well i might just install it at the normal spot..

But anyone know where i can get a jap brand sandwhich plate from?

the ones from justjap dont fit properly for jap brand guages..

Silly question...

If you have an oil cooler...where would be the best place you put the sensor?

Edit - Sidd - what type of guage did you get? and where are you mounting the guage in the car?

sidd, how do you know you need a special sandwich plate. you can get a greddy one for $150 i know. but japan use metric like us so i dont see how it would be any different.

weevil, if you have an oil cooler kit with a filterrelocator then one of your devices where the hoses attache will have sensor holes in there. i know this is the case with the greddy/trust ones and also the just jap ones...i just bought a jjr one! :w00t:

Well a few friends of mine have used those cheapy plates on there jap brand guages and they either dont fit (the sensor thingy) or they leak.

So im taking there word for it.

Anyways so i found myself a greedy sandwich plate and the sensor probe fits perfectly :)

evil- going to put the guage in my twin A-pillar pod.

This is the guage i bought:

Bought my boost guage ages ago (about 1.5 years ago) and now the oil temp guage :)

the sensor for my gauges were 1/8 NPT thread.

so i went to pirtek, for a few bucks you can get a t peice brass fitting, sensor in one side, oil line back in the other

nice gauges. mine have colour and sound warning, and adjustable warning settings

smoke face, blue or white led (changes with the wiring you set up, mine are white when headlights are off and blue when lights on.)

this is how they look with a decent camera, obviously in a xr6 turbo and not in my car though

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
