Default Oil Pressure Gauge: Got some questions

Hey all, i just got a new oil pressure gauge, and it came with a sender that is 1/8"-27NPT, will this fit directly on out cars? I also need to know WHERE to plug this in, ive never done anything with gauges before, so i need noob instructions. Also what pressure should i be looking for, i think i have a consumption engine, but cant do the test as the nearest infiniti place is a long way away and im in school...please help, thanks!

kevin

also, it says i have two options, i can plug it in directly or i can but a oil filter spacer... which is easier, i dont wanna have to spend $30m but if i get an oil pressure error by unplugging the stocker, then ill but it...

what is our oil pressure sensor bolt pattern?

I used the Greddy sandwich plate to install my oil pressure and temp sensors.

ya you have use a sandwish adaptor plate. The stock sender is a british pipe thread, so even if you had a T, you;d need an adaptor. The glowshift.com adaptor plate is what I use. Its cheap and works perfectly.

^^^Thanks man!

Last question: can I run two of those plates if I want to use one for an oil cooler and the other for the pressure/temp gauges? I don't wanna be stacking up too many potential leaks. . . if it is even possible.
