as i asume the out put volt should be the same

any one tryed it ?

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.

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 ?

yes... I'll see if i can find the link.... its to an Oz forum...

however it's clear that the sender unit is beside the oil filter.... on my car its the other side of the engine !...

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

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

I'll send that to my mate... :)

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

Hi Mark, did your mate ever get back to you about this.

 

Paul

no Medallion Man never got back on this i asume hes forgotten about it or been biz'y

 

Mark

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..

Been looking about and found this, what do you think. Seems to fall into the correct ohms range.

if you want I'll see if they've got any more of the ones I have and find out a price...

Ok will wait for you to get back.

 

cheers Paul

got a pic of it ?

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:

won't be back home until Wednesday... so can take a pic then....

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.

I'm in no hurry, will wait until you fit yours.

 

cheers Paul

LOL... I'll remember this time... :D

£30 is better than £60 + import tax and the 2 week wait ...

 

would be nice to have as uk supply that works anyways

 

Mark

OK, put it on today... working fine, I'll test it for a few days and let you know if it's still good. :)

Great, was it a straight swap.

 

Paul
