Strange Electronics, Fixed Itself On Restart (Instruments Stopped Working)

OK this was a weird and scary one for me when it happened, however, as soon as I stopped and restarted the car (while filling a tyre) it all went back to normal.

One day, I started my car and I noticed the "Check A/T" light was on. Then I also noticed that the "Check Oil" light was also on. And then I noticed that the tacho, speedometer and the little window showing the gear your in were also dead. The fuel and odometer (center of speedo) were however working. It was very scary. Since I knew the AT and oil. lights were on because something electronic was wrong, I continued to drive it, and needed to pump up one tyre (I have remote tyre pressure monitoring). I thought (and hopped) maybe a fuse had blown. So, at the gas station I turned the car off while I pumped the one tyre up. When I restarted the car, everything went back to normal and was working as if nothing had happened. It also has not happened since.

Has this happened to anyone else? should I be worried that something electronic is on its way out?

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
