New wires and sensors, get the Scoobyworld or similar install kit so you can take oil temp from above Cylinder 3 and oil pressure from the same point as OE.

AFAIK, most sensors are brand specific, ie: you can't use any old sensor, they have to be whatever brand the gauge is, or it won't be calibrated.......possibly, or might not even read.

What make of gauges are they? Try the gauge sellers/importers for help.
