Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the AU has a wide or narrow band O2 sensor as I am looking at getting a Air/Fuel gauge put in.

Standard is narrow band, if youre putting an AFR gauge in you would need a wideband.
Why do you want that gauge? Pretty well useless unless you're tuning it.

Well not sure what other gauge to put in Aust. I want oil temp but don't know what else to put.
Already have oil pressure and volts on the cluster.

The oil pressure gauge in the cluster is only an 'idiot light' - goes off if its pretty well too late.

Just fit a boost gauge..
It will give you an incentive to supercharge or turbocharge..!!!

Oil and engine temp? Two very very important things youd want to keep an eye on with proper accurate reading gauges not the cluster ones which can be more of a rough guide than an correct indication.

A wideband is a pretty expensive option for a gauge. Some widebands such as the Innovate LC-1s that I run do not need an additional bung welded in. One of their analogue outputs can be used to simulate a narrowband signal, so it can be placed in the existing o2 bung.
Agree with a proper oil pressure gauge. Haven't you noticed that the in dash one never moves from the same spot - even at startup? Good luck. Cheers Stu

I think I am sold on getting a oil temp and pressure gauge. Need to now find a gauge to suit my series 3 cluster with white back lit and black face. If all else fails I will go the cobalt series from Autometer
