Ok guys i have completely pulled my dash aprt to try and install two autometer gauges i have bought. They are water temperature and oil pressure. I have ran the power cables and two appropriate hoses, one for each gauge, into the engine bay, my only problem is i have no idea where they go. So my question is where does the plug for the water temp gauge go and where does the hose for the oil pressure go?. My car will be off road until i get them in as puttin dash back together to drive it then pull apart again is somethin i cant be stuffed doin so any help would be greatly appreciated!. This is on a r32 rb20det. Thanks guys.

For the oil pressure you have to find the oil pressure sender on the side of the block where the oil filter is. I'm trying to put my oil pressure on at the moment, its a real prick because you have to remove the sender and then plug in a metal t piece and then put the sender back into the t piece. Btw the sender is directly left of the oil filter with a cable comming off it and a rubber seal around it. Some how you have to unscrew it which is very hard. I havent got mine off yet so any help from anyone who has done it would be great. Also with oil temp what did you guys plug yours into? My fitting is too narrow to fit inside the sump and seal it off, any reccomendations?

For autometer oil temp i drilled a hole into the sump and welded a threaded fitting to it. Screwed temp sender into fitting.  To do this means you have to remove sump, obviously.

Theres gott abe a easier way than that isent there?? As i an new apexi oil temp gauge coming soon with some other parts

    • Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

    • I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha. 
    • Can a moderator please move this into the right category.. I've accidently put this into racing build thread 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
