I have an RB25DET Neo in an R32. The oil pressure gauge reads at 8 on idle and goes off the gauge when revved. An oil pressure test showed that the motors oil pressure is spot on, so it's an incompatibility with the 32 gauge and the RB25 pressure sensor.

My question: The RB20 and RB25 ECU pinouts show that oil pressure information is not relayed back to the ECU so it must go straight to the gauge, hence I'm thinking I can just buy an RB20 oil pressure sensor and fit it with an adapter to the RB25 motor, and this should give the gauge the correct reading without stuffing up anything in the ECU. Sound right?

Seems you're thinking is spot on, champ! :cool:

Schweet :cool:

Bubba: I have this awful desire to keep the car as close to factory in appearance as possible with the exception of a non-factory paintjob :P I'd like to get all OEM gauges working as they should. Next problem to solve, the water temp gauge ;)

water temp guage is the same thing need to use the rb20 sensor but not the ecu one.

and yeah as the others have said use the rb20 oil pressure sensor and you should be right with the oil pressure, my series 1 rb25 sensor seems to work fine with the dash but i'm sure they changed it with the neo

Schweet :)

there are two water temp sensors one for the ecu the other for the dash, just fit rb20 water and oil pressure sensors to the neo.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
