Hi guys

Im after an Oil Temp Gauge Adaptor Plate to screw my oil temp gauge probe into

Does anyone know where to get one for my Cressida (which has a 1J) ?

could try speco

speco.com.au

or weld a bung into the sump

There's stacks of them on eBay, that's where I got mine. Toyota uses the same filter size as Ford which makes it easy.

speco does one with two 1/8 bsp ports on it

You can get one ordered in though Superheap or Autobarn. They're about $60 iirc.

As mentioned previously, I used a generic Ford Z9 adapter plate on the Celica and the Soarer.

I think I still have my original one her somewhere that I didn't use..

( I went with a full relocation kit)

get a speco one, you can buy them from auto1/rarespares and only cost about $30 , alot cheaper then ebay/online performance sites

Another option is to drill and tap the oil filter union bolt to accept the temperature probe. From memory there's a howto guide on mkiv.com.

Does anyone know what thread i need if its for a 1j?

Drilling and tapping into the sump plug wouldn't be a bad option either if your engine used one of those chunky sump plugs... hmm... i think i'll have a look at mine next time it's out.

Edit: I think the thread for the oil filter is 3/4"-16UNF... don't quote me on that though.
