Would help if we knew what sandwich plate you bought and what oil pressure sender it is.

My suggestion, if the thread appears to be ok, use loctite thread locker when you screw it in to seal the thread. But it will all depend on what parts are being used.

so im not making another thread for a similar problem my tuner just told me there is a small dent in the sump and it could cause problems what do you guys think. im only running a standard rb25det with 10psi and a microtech ecu. i dont know if he is trying to take me for a ride but it is hard because i can not get down there to look at it myself due to my work hours. what are your thoughts

lol small dent... if you saw the sump on one of my track car's you'd cringe... they can take a fair wack before hitting the pick up.

is the sender the correct thread for the sandwich plate? what brand? post pics!

thing is my tuner only wants to do a basic tune until i fix the dent in the sump because he reckons its going to cause problems however when i put the motor in i checked the sump and tiny dents didnt bother me i have seen some big dents in my time also being a engine rebuilder i just think he is trying to take me for a ride.

and with the sandwich plate its the main center stalk that its leaking around aparently not sure ill have to have a good look myself i think. i reckon maybe it was just a pinched oring or something

An "engine rebuilder" having trouble fitting a oil filter sandwich plate... hmmm....

I wouldn't use one personally, esp not an ebay one, heard too many horror stories about them failing and people dying.

the lowest part of my sump is dented in about 30-40mm on the whole bottom section, didnt even bother hitting it out when i had the sump off and motor apart, its fine. unless its blocking/breaking the pickup (you'd know by now as you'd have pressure problems) its fine

thing is im not looking at drifting or tracking it and im only looking at running 300rwkw down the track. and its only going to really be street and maybe a bit of strip use so i cant justify spending that money on a sump when i got a spare sump laying around. also the tuner just tuned my car and has had no oil pressure issues so i dont even know if its worth changing it but to be on the safe side i might change it

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
