Oil adapter question
 
Hey guys

After two days of hunting the forums i don't seem to be able to find the info i require

I want to install Oil Temp and Pressure Gauges in my S6 RX7, i have seen on websites you can get an Oil Filter Adapter Plate which will take gauges, I am in NZ and the exchange rate can be a killer for me to purchase one out of the US

we have Oil Filter Adapter Plates but they are universal

However what size thread do i need to get ? on the website it has the following sizes listed

M18-P1.5
M20-P1.5
3/4 unf-16

will any of these fit a FD3S

Thanks :wallbash:

Hey man I just remembered that a friend of mine has a remote oil filter set up that he will prob part with. From memory it has a connection on the side where there was a defi gauge attached. If you are interested I will ask him how much and if it has the connection you are after.

Thread size should be M20-P1.5.

Greddy makes one that works well, although it is tall enough to make changing the filter more time consuming (you will have to unplug the TPS harness plug and push the fast idle cam up out of the way).

Yeah might be a tad expensive to buy and ship to me down in New Zealand.

Have you talked to ReSpeed about their adapter to see how much it would cost to get it out to you? I know a few non-US people bought them however, that doesn't mean it still won't cost you an arm and a leg. IMO, it's the best solution if you can get it.

Yeah i am looking at $101.86NZD just for the adapter without postage, if the thread size is M20x1.5 i can get an adapter for $35NZD
