Justin says you don't need one, the new gauge reads something from the original sender, it's all black magic to me but fitting an extension pipe with an additional take off for the new gauge on the ETB setup was a pain.
I will confirm this when they have been fitted.

I notice from the picture that there are warning lights on the oil and water gauges, I presume that these light up at a certain temperature/pressure. Pretty sure these weren't standard on the Z3 cluster.
Another problem with the ETB gauges was the fuel sender, just wasn't accurate even with the supplied resistor.

Having now fitted the Grassbanls dials I can confirm that the oil pressure gauge works perfectly.
