The best place is where the stock oil pressure sending unit for the little dash light is.

You will need a converter to adapt the thread for the stock sender to a thread that an aftermarket sender or oil line could attach to. I forget the size, but autometer sells one for $10.

Yeah, I did this about 3 months ago, you will need a thread adaptor, it is a BSPT 1/8, nissport sells the adaptor that lets you can keep the oil light plus add a oil pressure line also, here is the link:http://www.nissport.com/catalog/product.asp?ProductCode=NS-2100&EquipmentType=

I think you will get a ecu code if you do not hook the stock oil pressure system back up, if you need any more help let me know.

This is the Part Number 4860K141 for the part you want: 1/8 female x 1/8 BSPT male adaptor

mcmastercarr.com also sells them

what you most likely will need is something of the form:

1/8 bspt X 1/8 bspt X 1/8 bspt tee
1/8 bspt to 1/8 npt adapter
and a 1/8 npt coupling....

or if it's a mechanical one or you would want to relocate the gauge's sending unit to a better place (mount on the chassis) then u'd also need 2 female 1/8 npt to 1/8 hose adapters.

oh and the oil sending unit is right next to your oil filter, a little on the right and lower.
