hey guys. i have an issue with this mystery oil sender that is not connected. the sender is screwed in a bit back from the oil filter and its not connected. it has a spade end for a plug but have had a good look at all the looms near it and there are no spare plugs. i removed it to install my oil pressure sender in its place and to take a look, it seems to be oil temp. anyway the oil pressure sender was a different thread so i refitted the old sender but i want to know if anyone has one that is connected or is it aftermarket? its easy enough to see, just look at the oil filter and start to look back towards the engine and its a few cms back.. oh mines a s2

Mine is wired up and I am pretty sure it goes to the oil warning light in the dash, but mine is an S1.

I want to use this place to connect three senders but have to take the existing one out to check the thread.

Does anyone know what type of thread is used. Is it metric or BSP?

my rs four s has one . no idea what it is . only spotted it the other day . my guess is oil temp eg gti-r and gtr . what gauges does a 34 gtt have in it stock ? could always measure the resistance across it and see if it changes with engine revs of no change compare it when car is warm

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
