Default Oil pressure sensor how to?

Hey my pressure gauge shoots up thru the roof when I start my car so I am guessing it has to be the oil pressure sensor, any1 has a how to or a picture of where it is located and how I get to it

THanks

DIY....replace oil sending unit right next to oil filter. Will set you back +/- 70 bucks.

well courtesy parts I coudlnt locate the sensor for 350z only 300zx and is there some sort of shield i need to remove to get to the SENSOR? because it is hard to get to oil filter as it is, so I am guessing it is a little further down behind the oil filter?

Mine had the exact same symptom as yours. I just picked mine up from a local dealer, but I've found it on Courtesy Nissan for you http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...Category_Code=

It's a breeze to change, it's mounted horizontally near the filter.
