Hi i have finally about to start my motor but im crippled because i need a frew fittings for my defi oil pressure and oil temp gauge. I have a rb26 grex oil relocation kit and on the side it has to slots i believe one is NPT but i could be wrong. The other is way to big for the sensor. Seems like an adapter fitting needs to go in there. 9c8f03691d103c7583fc599c8f0a9249.jpg106f0ee5e2b25c67b06e03b715134a7b.jpg

So yes, there should be a small gold coloured adaptor which goes in the larger hole to space it down for a 1/8 npt fitting, part number 16400519

Here is a few listings for those fittings.

Hope that's enough to point you in the right direction!

There was a recent discussion on here about the stupidity of Japanese pipe thread specifications. It is important not to assume that "PT" mean "NPT".

From Engineering Toolbox

Japanese Standards PF - JIS Parallel Pipe Threads

PF threads are functionally interchangeable with BSPP. This is an old designations replaced with G.

Applicable Standards

  • JIS B 202 PARALLEL PIPE THREADS
  • ISO 228/1 PIPE THREADS PT 1: DESIGNATION, DIMENSIONS, TOLERANCE
PT - JIS Taper Pipe Threads

PT threads are functionally interchangeable with BSPT threads. This is an old designations replaced with and R and Rc.

Applicable Standards

  • JIS B 0203 TAPER PIPE THREADS
  • ISO 7/1 PIPE THREADS: DESIGNATION, DIMENSIONS/TOLERANCES
PS - JIS Parallel Internal Pipe Threads (to mate with PT threads)

Applicable Standards

  • JIS B 0203 TAPER PIPE THREADS

More about pipe thread standards.

Thanks i have it ordered. Does anyone know if the defi sensors are all the same from the advance bf gauges to the older link bf gauges. I have the gauge (old bf) but no sensor??

I have these on my Greddy thermostat plate at the block and they required drilling and tapping. I used 1/8" NPT for one to TEE into my factory oil pressure sender, and added a hose attachment for the Haltech oil pressure sensor hose since they instruct you to relocate them. On the other one it is tapped M12x1.5 for my GM oil temp sensor which is an ATI to my Haltech platinum pro plug-in. Haltech recommends remotely locating the pressure sensor.

The GM fitting was M12x1.5, the haltech hose was JIC (or -3 AN) on one side and 1/8" NPT on the other for the sensor.

My stock oil TEMP gauge will no longer work at the expense of me having the Haltech read this constantly and I will be able to set my tune up with their "ENGINE PROTECTION" portion which will allow me to put safeguards in for low oil pressure and/or high oil temps (reduced boost, reduced RPM, check-engine light ON, etc). Which will be more useful to me than a gauge. The final idea being that I will use their GAUGE ART box to display my custom gauge information on a VGA screen in the dash later.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
