Step 1: Install an oil sender with two ouputs.

Connect both wires to the oil sender. There should be two wires in the loom on all skylines.

Step 2: If the Ti cluster is installed see if the Oil Gauge works. If it works the job's done.

Step 3: If the Oil Gauge doesn't work, a wire needs to be installed between the cluster connector and a connector near the accelerator pedal. The best wire to use in this modification is one out of a Skyline wreck. To remove this end of the wire, first take off the orange securing piece. Then using a needle flick up the little plastic holding the wire, and gently pull out the wire.

To install this end of the wire push it in the connector the same way around as the other wires, then put on the orange securing piece. This image shows where the wire needs to be placed on the clusters connector

To remove this end of the wire, first take off the blue securing piece as shown below. Then using a small screw driver flick up the little plastic holding the wire on the pin side of the connector as in pic 3 then gently pull out the wire.

To install this wire push it in the connector the same way around as the other wires. Then put on the orange securing piece.

The image below shows where the wire needs to be placed on the other connector.

To remove this end of the wire, first take off the blue securing piece, and using a small screw driver flick up the little plastic holding the wire on the pin side of the connector as shown in image 1, then gently pull out the wire.

To install this wire push it in the connector the same way around as the other wires. Then put on the blue securing piece.

NOTE: The hardest part of this process is removing the wire from the wreck. Once that is done the process is pretty easy. Removing the wire from the cluster end can be tricky.
