You use a T piece. I can't remember what thread it was. (maybe 1/8" NPT?) But you connect the "T" piece where the original oil pressure switch was, and you connect BOTH the OE oil pressure switch and the gauge sender to the remaining threads on the T piece. Try Pirtek or Enzed for the fittings. (i used an additional right angle bend) and i ordered a T piece made by VDO.

Hope that helps. And forget about fitting an oil temp gauge, as i'm still searching for the correct adaptor...

I've got an oil temp gauge in mine (mechanical).

It was hard trying to find the right adaptor :D

What I did was I got a brass fitting from VDO that replaces the sump plug, then the temp probe fit's inside the brass fitting.

Now the tricky thing was that VDO don't make the correct thread size, so I bought the one that was a little bigger than the stock sump plug (I actually think it came with the gauge) and took it to a mechine show and they cut it down and put the correct thread on the fitting.

It worked like a dream. Make sure you get a gauge that has a long enough capilory (the 1.6 metre VDO isn't long enough :) ).

    • 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.
