Im not sure if it's the right section for this but it is to do with performance kinda,

When installing aftermarket oil temp n pressure gauges on n r33 gtr do u need to buy one of the aftermarket temp/ sensor plate adaptor things or are you able to connect the sensors up to where the factory sensors would go?

I have a grex oil filter relocation plate already mounted n it looks like it has a sensor already going into that, so would I just use that same location?

Normally you need a sandwich plate. But if you all ready have the filter re locater you could use the same location if the sensor isn't wired to anything.

I removed my factory oil pressure switch and put the Greddy oil pressure sender into that. I didn't need 2 oil pressure readings and the Greddy would be more accurate anyway.

Yes there is and the oil temp is on the 3 gauges and the pressure is on the dash. I hate having gauges not work so I sat my boost controller in front of the pressure one

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
