Just looking at buying a aftermarket oil pressure guage to put on my rb25. I can see its got a sender unit which looks very similar to the standard oil pressure sender on the motor. Options: screw fittings including tee piece so i can run both senders and still have the standard guage workn but alot of stuff hanging around the oil filter or remove standard sender and screw in new one, neater but standard guage in dash wont work (i imagine red warning light for low oil pressure wounld stay on to).

Anyone got any suggestions. How have other people installed oil pressure guage senders?

run a sandwich plate or remote oil filter and then you can have oil pressure and oil temp. Leave the standard one in the block.

Ok, so why no warning light? I have no stock sender so shouldn't it think I have no oil pressure & warn me?

When my gauge was playing up, saying I had almost no oil pressure, I read a few threads which said all is ok if warning light isn't on as it gets its reading from elsewhere, which is what led me to believe that... However you have to be correct as there is nowhere else it could get signal from...

      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

      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.
