Just wondering if anyone has had problems with oil leaks from the nylon hose that come with the gauge. My auto electrician warned me against them as they can leak. I just bought one as my oem one is rooted. So anyone had any problems from them?

I know the fuel gauges are not allowed in cabin but didnt know about oil gauges. I can put it in the engine bay but thought it would be a bitch to keep an eye on especially when the standard one give constant mixed readings. I dont really want to pull over every time my oem gauge reads 0 and check under the bonnet.

its a really bad idea mate, mechanical oil pressure gauge is asking for trouble. ditch it and run an electric one instead.

any issue with that line all the way from the motor to the gauge will kill your motor quick smart

Not to mention the 100 degree oil that would be dripping on your shines if something did go wrong.

Sell you mechanical one to some other stooge and get an electric guage and sender.

Easy as to install and they are very accurate.

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
