So just grabbed a pressure gauge myself today, Learing of another guys motor eating it after the rear timing cover gaskets failed. Having warranty till 118k and 3 more years , the few hundred was worth it.

Prosport JDM (Japanese dual series electrical Oil Pressure gauge

 

That gauge looks nice.

Too bad it is difficult to find a good spot to mount it in the G37. There really isn't a "perfect" spot, IMO.
Are you going to tee off the oil pressure switch or use a sandwich plate?

Temporarily for testing I will but putting in 2 oil pressure gauges: one on a sandwich plate and one where the oil pressure switch is. I want to see how much pressure difference there is by rpm.

 

Thanx man!
I have the Z1 oil cooler kit and think their sandwich plate had a port for a sensor? I don't remember tho. If not T-ing of the the factory sensor. I'll mount this where I had my gauges when I have my SC. : )

 

I have the z1 oil cooler and there is no extra port on the sandwich plate

 

T-ing the stock sensor then

 

A GaleForce Pillar Pod is a pretty good solution IMO:

 

^^^ Looks very nice!
I just can't justify $350.

 

Not saying you shouldn't install the gauge, but since you are still under warranty if you have the leak and your motor is shot, you'll get a new motor.

 

Agree'd 100% Betty but would still like to know when it's going to give up. I actually think I might have any issue witht the gaskets now. KR issue. But just trying to count something's out

 

Finished

 

Is that your oil pressure at idle and warmed up?
Do you have an OBD scanner that can look at the mode $06 data?

I want to see if there is a correlation between the oil pressure and some of the mode $06 data.

By the way, the gauge looks nice.

 

Thanx man, Yes that is after about an hour+ of driving, HYW and stop and go traffic. Car was definitely warm . I do not have a scan tool. The start up sweep of it is pretty cool too.

 

Where did u get the T-fitting? Pics of the pressure mount installed?

 

Got it from ebay, I'll grab a pic this weekend when I change my oil.

remind me of this mount kit? in search for one extra mount and idk if i should get a 3 gauge pillar pod or put this one elsewhere
