Timboj Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hi team, I've just installed an N350X into my 03 350Z. After a few days of trying to sort out the idle, I only just noticed I wasn't getting a reading on oil pressure. I checked the pin diagram in the manual, and I can't see any mention of an oil pressure sensor? Especially given much of the OEM functionality was included/addressed, I can't believe something so critical to engine protection (and included in stock form) isn't included? Or am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I could be wrong but I don't believe the factory oil pressure sensor is connected to the ecu in any form. I would expect that, like most other OEM oil pressure setups, it is wired only to the gauge. Had a quick search and this thread indicates that the sensor is wired to the gauge cluster and then has some form of communication from that to the gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboj Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thanks for replying so quickly, Vaughan. That makes a lot more sense. Total assumption that it would wire via the ECU. Curious that it's stopped working after changing to the new ECU. I had a look at the thread you linked and it mention it wires via the AC (HVAC?) controller. I'm getting a 'low pressure' lockout currently for my AC. Probably a huge leap, but could the two be related? The voltage meter and trip computer are both fine so it may simply be the sensor or wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timboj Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Problem with the AC solved. Adam posted the 6.21.21 firmware and it seems to be working perfectly. No change for the oil pressure gauge so I'll work on the assumption it's a wiring or sensor issue for now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timboj Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 If I wanted to wire in an oil pressure sensor to the N350X, could you explain how to do so? I've looked at the pin diagram and if I'm reading it correctly, there's only one An Volt expansion (An volt 8)? Does that require a JST connector? Does that also mean I couldn't wire in fuel pressure as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Volt 3 (MAF), An Volt 10 (RH narrowband O2), An Volt 11 (LH narrowband O2) or An Volt 12 (Evap Pressure) could be used with some rewiring.

Timboj Posted January 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thanks, Vaughan. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Is there a diagram of the specific pin locations for the two remaining expansion sockets? I'm using CAN1 for a WB controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 IO available on the 2 Expansion ports is listed in the pinout info below. These are also labelled on the PCB for confirmation which is which. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
