Oil Pressure Sending unit

My oil pressure sending unit is shot as oil is s drizzling out from the top of it, near the connection wire. Being that there are NONE other zx's on the island, will I find a direct replacement of the part off another make and model?



Moreover, will a 1980's, Nissan Bluebird T12/T72 oil pressure sender unit fit mine? I'm asking as my local mechanic has one laying near the driveway for parts.

And why does it have a hole where the adaptor pins are? on top?

Anyone can tell me if it's possible to match another oil pressure sender switch from another car?

Go get a FACTORY one from an 84 300ZX, they use the same threading and connector but work MUCH better. I had one on my 280ZX and it read right and never leaked.
