Does anyone know how to professionally install a Oil pressure, Water Temp and Voltage Gauge on a 92 JDM prelude? and if you live in melbourne and can do it for me, let me know, will pay you to do it :)

oil pressure easiest way is to use a sandwich plate (use hondabond or rtv on the back of it along the gasket, cannot stress this enough, otherwise it'll have a very very slight weep) and run the sender off it and plug off the other two spare ports (using thread tape on all connections), water you put the sender on the top radiator hose by cutting it about dead centre a gap to suit the sender and clamping the sender into place, volts is pretty useless it's unneeded information (but I would be interested to know who in a 12v car needs this info lol)

as for wiring, Im not an electrian (can do it but wouldnt be as neat and when you have friends where it's there trade, this is where beer is exchanged lol) but if you had the time there's a few threads on here in the diy section
