Does anyone know what engine - or more importantly what sensors that radical use on their sr3?

I've bought a sr3 dash for my nova but want to know what sensors i need to get so that the dash reads correct

ie oil pressure, oil temperature, water temperature

Also maybe contact these guys CLICKME (http://secure2.cyberware.co.uk/~rad-shop/acatalog/sr3wiringlooms.html)

Oh, I'll put good money on it being CAN based lol

Im hoping it's not can based!
I bought it from someone who was breaking his kitcar who said he had used it!
It all powers up with 12v and all the bits that I can check like main beam, indicator, fog light warning lights work ok - but it's a bloody expensive bit of kit if it only tells me that!

I've had another look at it today & I'm hopeful that it's not can bus as the wires are not twisted pair and the wiring diagram seems straightforward (although it was handwritten by the previous owner!)

CAN docent need to be twisted pair, but it does help and keeps things tidy.

The engines are Hyabusa based built in house by Powertec (subdivision of Radical) Data collection is taken care of with a Pi system but not sure on the details of it, was the moving parts I was involved with.

Saying that, that was 10 years ago so probably a lot different now lol

i have a feeling my dash is probably 10 years old,
can you elaborate on the pi system?

Radical chuck those dash's in the bin as they are so crap lol
Thy are good old fashion sensor driven though if you must use it. I'll ask for the wiring diagram
