don't get what your meaning

do you want to know how to install it?
where to mount it?
i think he means where does the gauge get the info from?
I bought a t piece adapter and screwed the adapter into where the std sender is located then ran the 2 senders from that

Thats what i was trying to get at. Where did you get the T piece from, also the size. Did you need to drain any oil when taking out the original one and replacing it with the T piece. Could i just unscrew the Nissan sender and replace it with the one i got with the gauge :bigthumb:

Cant remember the thread size im afraid, i got it from motorscope in northallerton, but i would imagine demon tweeks or similar would stock something like that too. No need to drain oil, however you will get a slight dribble when you remove the std sender.

You could just fit the aftermarket sender in place of the std one but obviously you will lose the gauge on the inst panel and im sure the oil pressure warning light is controlled by that sender too so best off using a t piece, and dont forget the thread tape :D
Thanks mate I'll let you know how i get on :bigthumb:
