i have an oil presure gauge ,not yet fitted but i know u need an extra part. its a coupling between the oil filter and where it screws up to the plate and it allows the oil pressure sender to be srewed in. not shure where to get this part yet

when positioning those guages.. just make sure you dont position them too low because this will cause you to take your eyes off the road for longer than is desirable

Maybe look at those Meercat/mearcat guage pods? and mount them up near the dash somewhere?

lol 20% of male babyboomers according to smh today.

anyway.....the voltmeter just needs ignition, earth and maybe headlights on so its easy. the easiest way to do the oil pressure gauge is to install a remote relocator for the fuel filter at the same time it will have fittings for the sender.

or you can pick up adapters so you can put it next to the standard pressure sender, vdo make one for instance (pirtek) but you will need to know the thread for the new sender and the standard one.

Yeah, like Duncan has mentioned, it's not a bad idea to fit an oil filter relocation kit when you do the oil pressure gauge. I bought one of the rust GReddy ones. The lines are Earls ones with braided covers, so they're a bit hard to manipulate when you're fitting it on, but it's worth it in the end so that your oil changes are that little bit easier.

Just make sure you check that there are no leaks when you are done...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
