You are going to have to find a oil pressure port to add into a oil pressure area of the engine. The oil pressure gauge usually has good suggested places. Remember the tube has to run to the back of the gauge so keep that in mind when mounting gauge inside dash.
The oil pressure gauge you purchase should have a suggested places as Gracross points out. But as with all things car related it depends on what you are driving. There is something called a Street Tee that may be the best option in a few cars. I suggest that you look at http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/index.asp they have lots of gauges and supplies at GOOD prices.
Hope This Helps.

Locate the engine's oil pressure sensor, remove it and add T-branch between. Then attach the oil-gauge's/unit's oil-line to the T-branch.
No, a defective oil pressure sensor will not harm the engine as long as the oil pressure is what it should be. However, how do you know what the pressure is if the sensor is bad. Replace the sensor so that you can receive a warning if the oil pressure drops below what is optimum.
The 1995 Nissan Pathfinder oil pressure sensor can be found next to the oil filter. The oil pressure sensor measures the oil pressure in the engine.

The oil pressure sensor sends a reading to the gauge so you can moniter the engine's oil pressure. No oil pressure means the engine is in big trouble.
There is usually a pipe plug above the oil filter that can be removed.
The oil pressure sensor is on the front of the engine, near the oil filter.
I saw on another forum that the oil pressure sensor is under the oil filter.
