could just run this and have both

i've connected a big red pilot/(shift) light to the factory on/off pressure switch which is handy as u cant miss it when giving the car a beating

That's the obvious choice ti use a tee piece. but like I said, u need bsp npt is not the right size for the block. Alot of aftermarket stuff is npt cos that's what the yanks use, but the japanes use bsp. It is extremely close but not the same. If you have a search on here you'll find people have had issues with npt fittings.

And just to add, I have both bsp and npt taps, so am completely certain is bsp. The npt tap does start, but after a couple of threads binds up, the bsp tap runs in nicely.

The block (not oil cooler housing) thread for a sensor is BSP, but the RB25 oil pressure sensors that goes into the oil cooler housing is NPT. Here is what I've done with mine:

I've been through all this recently, thinking I would need to make a custom oil manifold to house both sensors. Those are 1/8NPT fittings

Put it this way. you can screw an npt fitting into a bsp. But its not right. If is working for you that's cool, theres nothing to worry about. I have checked the oil cooler hole with my taps and definitely bsp. Nissan wouldnt use 2 different threads, and I'll say it again, nothing jap will have npt threads.

Yeah I thought the same but the two sensors seem to have the same thread. Unless it was very model specific. Didnt really make sense that the block was bsp and the cooler not but the aftermarket sensor screwed into the cooler but not the block. Strange

Perhaps nissan sourced the oil cooler from an aftermarket supplier on certain models. But in the interest of not creating to much confusion here I will agree that it should be bsp

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
