I tapped power for my gauges from a red and black wire under the dash in the drivers side foot well.

Mocal makes one SPF1T I believe is that part number. Nissan Motorsports USA also makes one that replaces the stock ring so coolant no longer runs through there. I think www.theexperience.com has them. www.gspec.com might have them too.

Actually, I was being kind of obtuse. What I am looking for is a place to put in an oil temp sensor, but I allready have a Stillen Oil Cooler, which uses a sandwich plate. I was trying to figure if I could use two sandwich plates, one for the cooler, and another one for the oil temp sensor. Probably it would be too long an extension.

Any ideas?

Actually thats EXACTLY what Cheston did on his car. Do a search for a post from Chebosto regarding oil coolers. he has a Mocal adaptor and a Greddy adaptor both installed.
