Oil Pressure Sensor threads size
 

Ok guys, have an oddball question.... I am assuming that the sensor that is at the front and bottom of the engine is an oil pressure sending unit for the ECU, please correct me if I am wrong.
Now on my car I had an aftermarket oil press gauge installed (Defi) and the person that installed it used a couple adaptors to make both sensors work and what has happened is now both sensors are hanging off a long thin stalk of adaptors. What I am wanting to do is to make a remote manifold that I can hard mount to something and connect to the engine via a flexible line.... I just don't know where to find the thread sizes or pitches.

Thank you in advanced.

I believe the factory sender is 1/8"BP and the Defi is most likely a 1/8"NPT. You can probably get away with everything 1/8"NPT and just adding a couple extra telfon tape wrap passes on the BP threads to make it seal.

If you look at my build thread, linked in signature, you can see that I have mine done very similarly to your existing condition. The only major different is I also have my turbo oil supply take off teed in too.

If you are going to be working on a 370Z, one of the most valuable tools you can have is the Factory Service Manual (FSM). Link in my sig. I don't remember seeing the thread specs for the oil pressure unit but wasn't looking for it.

Yes mine is very similar except that mine extends toward the rad a bit longer.. And since the roads where I am are garbage I worry about the shock on the thread from the leverage of the sensors when I hit bumps... I may just be paranoid.

Nothing wrong with being paranoid when it comes to safety. Mine is pretty stout and I also have a ZSpeed undershroud to protect everything!

So did we come to a conclusion on the necessary adapter?

NPT / BSP / Male / Female ???


Whacha got?

I haven't verified, but this guy seems to know what he's talking about.
