Medallion Man Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Hi, i got a mate in the parts trade and he is looking into this for me... If you like i can let you know the outcome. Quote
MarkDerby Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 yeah ok .. i know the thread is different 1/8 BSP where as the others are 1/8 NPT but the converter adapters are only £3 to buy and it must work the same on Neg Signal Volt to the dial and getting a sender to do up to 100psi .. most do anyways just wondered of any one has tried it ?

Medallion Man Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 yes... I'll see if i can find the link.... its to an Oz forum... Quote
Medallion Man Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 however it's clear that the sender unit is beside the oil filter.... on my car its the other side of the engine !... http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.326 http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.325 Quote
MarkDerby Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 cheers .. so it is possible just need to get the right one .. have done a quick search for one he used but only comes up as a aus'y part only Quote
MarkDerby Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 got the Spec of the sender he used Pressure Sender: 0-80 PSI/5 Bar 1/4-18 NPT Part No: 360-005 Notes: 10-180 Ohms Single Station (for one gauge), Standard Ground Quote
MarkDerby Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 just wondering if its possible to use a 100psi/145psi sender .. its only the max limit of it and still should read around the 180ohms around the 80psi as there only a tenna from flebay Quote
300_zedx Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Hi Mark, did your mate ever get back to you about this. Paul Quote
MarkDerby Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 no Medallion Man never got back on this i asume hes forgotten about it or been biz'y Mark Quote
Medallion Man Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Hey... sorry mark... yeah, I got one off him but haven't installed it yet.. it is slightly different to the Nissan one, he assures me it's the right spec.. Quote
300_zedx Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Been looking about and found this, what do you think. Seems to fall into the correct ohms range. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Oil-Pressure-5-bar-Sender-Unit-replaces-VDO-unit-/370508577514?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5644083aea Just noticed it's the wrong thread size.

Medallion Man Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 if you want I'll see if they've got any more of the ones I have and find out a price... Quote
300_zedx Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Ok will wait for you to get back. cheers Paul Quote
phutumsch Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 The OEM part number is 25070-30P01 A bit cheaper over the pond, 100 USD no more I would of thought with the postage which equates to £62, at least you know it will work :wink: Quote
Medallion Man Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 won't be back home until Wednesday... so can take a pic then.... Quote
Medallion Man Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Update: ... they will most likely be about £30 and are for the 300zx, I'll check to confirm the fitment of the plug next week (when I fit it). if you're desperate you could always go with the one on ebay. cheers. Quote

MarkDerby Posted July 16, 2011 Author Posted July 16, 2011 £30 is better than £60 + import tax and the 2 week wait ... would be nice to have as uk supply that works anyways Mark Quote
Medallion Man Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 OK, put it on today... working fine, I'll test it for a few days and let you know if it's still good. :) Quote
