RB running now to sort out gauges and bugs

Now that the RB is running, I need to get the gauges sorted, amp and fuel still work, oil pressure works since I used the L28 sender and stock line, the temp gauge does not work, I traced the wire to show the one to tap into was the yellow with white stripe as this was the one that went out to the stock L28 temp sender. I'm thinking the resister value is different on the RB sender, normally this wouldn't be a problem and I would screw the old sender in and just use that but not only don't i have the old sender but I believe it is much larger then the sender on the RB. I had a similar problem with my friends SR20 swap into his 240sx the sr sender made the gauge peg out full hot even when it was dead cold, I solved that problem by just replacing the sender with the ka's and the gauge read correctly after that, only problem here is that size difference I mentioned above. anyone happen to know what resistance the L28 water temp sender is,and even better anyone know if any other nissan sender that fits the RB spot that is that resistance? anyone down under know? you guys seem to be pretty familar with stuff like this that pops up on RB's

On the Tach I used an autometer and I know I need to get an adapter for that to work. The speedo is also an autometer replacement, I think I need to redo the hot I used for that one, since I guessed at it, and it is not coming on so I still need to sort that, once I get that to come on then I can go down the road and see if the speedo works, if not I'll try and switch the sender wires, when I asked autometer about and they said ground one and use the other as the signal wire if it doesn't register try switching them.

I want to adjust the clutch too, it's engaging right off the floor which is a little hairy for a street car, having a brain fart on that one though, I believe I need to lengthen the rod on the pedal to change that right?

I know that as the clutch gets a little wear on it, it will engage a bit higher, but for now it makes it a little tough to drive.

Any input will be appreciated, and I promise as soon as I have all the bugs sorted I'll post pics and this info for you guys.

I think the vendors that sell the wiring convertions will hate me though once I post it but oh well, maybe they shouldn't charge so much for that stuff in the first place huh.;)
