Watch out on those Autometer mech gauges. The oil pressure gauge is 1/8NPT. People try and force them into the port where the stock oil sensor is, but it's 1/8BSPT. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I always used the Defi stuff. Their sensor comes in 1/8BSPT and screws right in to the oil filter housing. Run 3 wires and done. Never had their sender die on me either.

^ pretty sure he needs a pass side.

Eric, and Joe, I could see doing a mechanical gauge if you do it right. Ss line and shit, but I doubt he did that for some strange reason. But I guess thats just me LOL

Not nissan related, but you get a free pizza at papa johns today if you pick it up in a camaro.
Just took a cas for clunkers trade on a dealer plate and got mine.

Sorry z28ricer, it has to be a complete camaro. Non running camaro engine in an s13 might be worth a garlic butter dip though. Id call and ask.
