hey ppl, ive put in some gauges on my 32, got a oil temp gauge and oil pressure, now with the oil temp its take for ever to go up like afta 30min of driving though traffic is starts to go up but really slowly, is that normal or is my temp sensors slow to read? am i able to use a unversial sender?

2nd the oil pressure is fine till its warmed up, sometimes i stop at the lights and my gauge reads 0? i keep my eye on the orgnial oil pressure on the cluster and its different readings, ive t pieced into the orgnial hole for oil pressure in the block

these are all saber gauges

Doesn't sound right to me. My oil temp doesn't start till 40' [from memory and too lazy to check] but it starts working within a couple of km's so like 5 minutes and its slowly heating up. Settles on around 85 to 90'. Oil pressure never drops to zero, sits around 3.5 to 4, drops to around 2 [usually 2,something, maybe 2.2???] at idle.

All the senders look the same, but they are for different ranges. You would be better off getting another Saber one just to be sure.

mine are greddy gauges - takes about 5 mins for it to start moving - 10 mins its usually at 55-60 degrees Cel.

depends what gauges you buy - those saber gauges, i dunno.. never used them but for 50 bucks i guess you get what you pay for.. factory gauges arent that accurate..

I've only got cheap NRG malaysian electronic stepper motor gauges and they work fine. They do a whole of range and scale check every time you turn them on, this helps with setting baselines and accuracy. I haven't heard anything bad about Saber gauges, they're probably OK.

I had Greddy gauges, they were analogue ones, sold 'em, too many hassles with them.

You say you've 'T'ed the pressure in at the sender, where have you picked up the temp?

I've got a sandwich plate at my oil filter that has adaptor holes in it for both temp and pressure, so the oil flows past both senders all the time.

If you've got yours in a dead end spot you may actually only be measuring the block temp instead of the oil temp? This would expalin the slow response.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
