440Z

Do any of you guys known the ohms range of the nissan pressure sender? Or the direction o fthe resistance gradient? Does resistance go up with increased pressure or down with increased pressure? I've had a similair problem to the original poster, but it is a VDO pressure trans, not a switch. My guage has been showing ~85psi with no oil pressure, then dropping to ~30psi with ~50psi real oil pressure. I suspected to have this problem, just took a (wrong) guess as to which sender to get? There are a lot of senders around that are less than half the price of Warren's OEM units, with a wide range of specs, just need to know what the specs are to get the right unit. PS. good to see some Aussies here.

G'day Mick, I've got a 240Z with 4.4ltrs of bent 8 in it, though a different manufacturer. Leyland/Rover. I did consider the idea of the Y44, but when I investigated I found very few of them (for too much money) and got scared off. I've also worked on the old 3.5ltr toyota V8 (Chrysler copy) that was in a 2wd hilux ute. Made it pretty nimble. I have looked into the VH45 swap too. People have done it, though like you've found it only just fits. Varying opinions on the motor also. SOme say the 4ltr was better than the later 4.5ltr, better heads (apparently the 45 had some weird siamese inlet ports) and also better build qual. Are you set on a V8? The 2jz sounds to be the go for power/reliability and fit. Or perhaps the LS1 could be good. Even the new Ford quadcam V8 would be work a look. I guess the idea of a Nissan V8 in a Z is pretty romantic - very sweet.

G'day Ash, Been a while since last contact (few yrs ago) Still trying to work out a good wheels/guards combo for my Z. I'd really like something more integrated like Subtle-Z or the YZ guards available in the US, but $$$$$ prevent. Might be interested in some G's. Ever heard of some OEM rally type flares? DOG, I've got 2 sets of wheels that I might be willing to part with. 1. 16"x 10" same as Ash's race wheels 2. 14"x 10" simmons 3 piece (gold) 3. Oh yeh, also got a pair of 16"x 10" composites (5 spoke, white) Interested?
