There are spots for trans and water temp.

The trans temp plug is on the driver side right above where the shift cable is. Take it out and replace it with the sending unit that came with your guage. Make sure you put it in tight otherwise it will leak like mine did.

I dont know about installing the other ones becasue I have never installed the other 2.

are you refering to the physical installation of the gauges on the interior? or how and where to run the lines for them?

Run the wires through the firewall. I had a small hole in my other z by the pedals and ran ith through the driver side.

the wires it cam with isnt that long, i dont think it would reach by the pedals to go through the firewall. because its in the pods on the pillar.

Then make your own wire man.

i recently put in oil pressure, water temp, and volts. volts wired in to back of radio, water temp- spliced the radiator hose got autometer coupler, oil pressure- sandwich adapter off ebay goes above oil filter. u have to run ur own wires get like 3 spools from autozone or something. i ran the wires behind the pcm on the passenger side of the fire wall, there's a grommet there. then run the wires under the dash by the heater ducks up to the pillar. make sure to label what wires go where and tape them all together make sure u have enough length to compensate for the placement of the gauge on the pillar. grounds can be run behind the driverside kick panel and i ran power from unused fuse spots on the panel on the drivers side (use a test light to make sure u have good power and grounds)

i installed my water tem gauge on the back on the passenger side head. there is a coolant plug you remove and installe the sending unit in an adapter and it slides right in. i hear that is a really exact reading. also if your a/f is not a wideband you can get a pigtail to plug into the o2 sensor and hook it up to that. thats what i did at least. i also ran my wires through the firewall on the passenger side.

I have a summit temp guage SUM-G2883 2 1/16. What adapter do I need to instal a sending unit to this spot on the back of the passenger side head ? Is this plug threaded ?
