The oil pressure sender that goes in my sandwich plate is leaking, never noticed it was this until the second sump full of oil squirted out :wack: Anyway its an aftermarket sender that I got with the gauge, I don't know where to get one from for a start but it looks like a mechanical sender rather than electrical but I can't see any mechanical ones anywhere on the net. Anyone ever had any similar experiances........... cheers Pic enclosed of my nice little split sender which has been on the car for about 1500 miles :rolleyes:

i think my turbo's have gone!!!!!! there's whistling when i kick down with blue smoke coming out of the back and very low oil pressure, first time i have actually tried to put my foot down as you all probably know i bought it with body damage. The oil needs changing desperatley so i plan to do that first then go from there, with the info ive given you what do you think??? i am going to start a thread in a min about this so if you wish you can answer me on that. cheers

Renewal price by Bell was a shocker so have been investigating other options. I have an import TT and the prob is that on a lot of the insurance sites it just says 300zx import turbo. I rang elephant up who said it was just for a single turbo but I'm just trying to clarify that there is only a twin turbo version isn't there? Its irritating trying to deal with them explaining it can only be a twin turbo so that must be the option for my car but he just said they can only insure a single....which I thought didn't exist :confused:
