dunno wat brand u have but i have defi, water temp is direct screw in into my greddy top rad pipe, oil temp and pressure direct screw into my sandwich plate from greddy oil filter relocation, so u at least need a sandwhich plate for that, if your water temp came with a little bit of pipe with a hole in it, you need to cut into your water hose and put it inbetween with cable ties or clamps, should all be in the kit, unless u went budget guages ?

Easy enough to DIY, I did the exact same thing with the exact same gauges not a week ago.

You need a oil sandwhich plate and a rad hose thingo with a temp sensor in it.

If your NoR I dont mind giving you a hand, or you can come look at my setup and I can help you install ?

The Autogauge ones have a bit of an odd wiring setup.

Only other thing to note is with the top rad pipe setup and the sandwhich plate your better off doing a service at the same time, saves having to drop coolant and oil just to install them.

thanxs mate, 2 bad i live SoR :laugh: , wots a sandwich plate? where culd i buy a sandwich plate and rad hose temp thing?

cheers

Incoming thread highjack:

What do you guys recommend for a good quality Oil Temp gauge? (besides DEFI cause that costs a small fortune)

Autometer.. I had Autometer mechanical gauges then upgraded to cheap electric gauges (Autogauge), now upgrading to Autometer electric gauges. The temp gauges aren't that pricey (~US$60 for 2-5/8" electric half sweep), but the full sweep oil pressure gauge is US$190 and the 30psi boost gauge is US$200 :) Going for Ultralites :)

not 100% where to get one from as the dude I bought mine off threw them in. Gimme a sec ill google some and see if I can find them.

cheers mate, i appreciate it. i got a sandwich plate today, prolli get the radiator hose adaptor thing 2morrow. just trying figure out how to connect the sandwich plate? :P

is it ok to connect all three gauges to the cigerette lighter or will this just cause a fuse to blow? where do u recommend i get the power source from? also, is it the oil pressure or oil temp gauge that connects to the sandwich plate or they both do?

cheers

Run 12V from somewhere reliable (hell even from the battery), fuse that line. Run to a relay and use the cigarette lighter feed to switch the relay.

That's the principle I used when rewiring my stereo, carpc, monitor and gauges.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
