can you tell im a newbie without a 240sx? I was wondering whether the stock guage in S13's is of temperature or pressure. My pops checked out a 240 for me, and said the oil pressure is low.. but if the gauge is of temperature, then it may sway my choice of getting this 240. low oil pressure = bad. I tried searching, and nothing turned up on the stock gauges.

pressure, but usually when you see this light its too late....but there have been cases to falsify my statement. :)

there is no gauge, it is simply a warning light that comes on rather late. the only gauges are gas, temp, tach and speedo.

this is for an s13, not sure about s14's.
