Ok so after alot of research and questions i have now fitted my HKS DB meter oil pressure and temp gauges
I did the mod for the oil pressure found on mkiv.com this allows you to keep the factory low oil pressure light and is alot easier to do as normally you will have to remove the sensor from the block mounted behind the A/C compresser which is a nightmare to get at.
All you need to do is replace the stock union bolt with a 1998 tt supra part number listed below the diffrence between the two union bolt is obvious as the 1998 one has a threded portion at the top this is of cource where you need to screw your after market gauge to pictures to follow.
When you put the new pressure sensor on make sure you use some ptfe tape (teflon tape) it is tapered so no need for a o ring
Once you have replaced the stock one tighten the new one to 65 pounds (couple of white knuckles).
Then screw the new gauge to the union tyrap all in place and bobs your uncle DONT FORGET TO CHECK FOR LEAKS!!!!.
The pictures will make it all very obvious
The Oil temp is even easier just drain offf the oil and srew in the new sensor mount supplied with the gauge into the sump plug at thats it!!!!!!!The whole job took about 2 hours
I hope it is all clear for the wiring for the illumination i used a auto electrican!!!!
*part numbers*
90401-19008 Union bolt... QTY 1......£20.03
90430-20016 Gasket..........QTY1......90p
