Hey guys. I noticed my oil pressure dropping rapidly on the way home the other day, i pulled aside and put some more oil into it and limped it home, only to figure out the piece pictured below had a hairline crack and was leaking oil. By the time i got back to look at the car (an hour or so later) all of the oil had leaked out, nothing was on the dipstick!! I reached up to touch this part and snap, it just broke off like that (and the threads are still in the housing)
![]() My question is....what the hell is this piece? I tried finding something similar to it at autozone with no luck, they only carry the oil temp sending unit. Am i going to have to order this from mitsubishi exactly or what? and how am i going to get the rest of the threaded fitting out of the housing. I tried using an extractor but the broken off stud is just too tight, so for now i just tightened the extractor down and thats what is plugging the hole ![]() Thanks for the help if provided, and if any of you have that piece sitting around or in a parts car you might have i'd be glad to take it off your hands!! Thanks -------------------- 1990 Nissan 300ZX T

yeah all im looking for is the T, right now to plug the whole ive got an EZ out stuck in there
![]() ![]() I *should* be able to find an extraction set made for brass (this is what my brother told me) that will get it out. Even if I can get the rest of what is left out, i dont *need* the "t" bracket cuz the pressure sending unit has the same thread as the "t" and I can just screw it in and hook it back up, that way at least I'm getting an oil pressure reading I think travis has this piece we are going to meet up sometime and verify this thoug -------------------- 1990 Nissan 300ZX T
