hey mate, havent checked this for ages! next to the oil filter there is an alloy blanking off plate with a hole thats blocked off, i used a drill and then tapped it out to the same thread as the sender unit. bit of work, i had to jack the engine to get it in there but it works perfect! i have another 2" hole next to oil gauge but im not sure what i should put in there?? i also put in a vy sunglasses holder with lights.

i also finished the exhaust off, hurricane headers and 100 cpsi cats from naaf, sounds really good. and have the mafless tune with vcm otr and red monaro engine covers.

Awesome mate, Hmm dunno if i feel confident to tap my own block, lol Ive never tapped anything before, so.. would hat to #### it up there. haha.. might get someone else to do it

And yeah NAAF is a legend. Ive got a cat back from him and will be getting some headers and cats from him in the not tooo distant future as well.. funds are dry due to having a wedding in December.. But never know, tax return could come good

also how much did the oil press guage and sender + wiring cost ya? just out of curiosity.. also I would go with a water temp? for ur next guage. lol

also, think its time for a new clip of your zorst and cam combo

this is what i did. i think it was $160 from autobahn, comes all in a package. i went autometer after asking alot of people you pay a bit more but hopefully it will last forever. my temp gauge works well so kinda dont want two. maybe i might put in a voltmeter. ill try get a video tomorrow, have the day off

Awesome, any chance of a photo of the gauges too?

Also yeah volt meter wouldnt be a bad idea, especially if your thinking of going a bad ass sound system eventually lol
