    Water temp sender

    The stock sensor is M12x1.25, My Gauge sensor was 1/8npt but I had an adaptor that goes onto the sensor from 1/8npt to 1/4npt so I drilled out the M12 thread and tapped it to 1/4.

    Conversely when I was fitting the Oil Temp sensor for my gauge I didnt want to do the same and drill and tap the motor to suit and risk having swarf in the oil (wasnt that worried with the coolant) So I used a larger adaptor from 1/8" npt to 1/2"npt and used my lathe to turn down the OD and then cut a M12x1.25 thread onto the adaptor and it screwed straight in :)

    So, I ordered a m12x1.25 to 1/8 npt adapter and the sender from the gauge does not fit in it. All these small problems make me miss my Honda!

    The autometer sender fits in the stock locations enough that the nut threads are still outside. 

    What if I were to just JB Weld the bastard in place?

    R32 Gtr ancillary hose kit?

    I wanted to buy Samco heater hoses but they are on back order for forever. So I purchased a autobahn88 hose kit and it comes with a million piece ancillary hose kit. Any diagrams to to know what hose goes where? It will take me a year to figure it out I think

    This is what I purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331629538876?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

     

    Thanks

    Koyo Radiator Questions R32 GTR

    I received my koyo 53mm radiator, this one to be exact: http://www.rawbrokerage.com/koyo-53mm-aluminum-racing-radiator-for-nissan-skyline-gtr-r32/

    Looking at it, i am slightly confused. There are three ports:

    1: Small port, looks like 1/8 npt, it came with a blocking screw already in, with a ton of teflon tape, I unscrewed it to make sure it was a npt port but the sender from the autometer gauges does not fit. So whats this port for?

    2: Large port, looks like it would house an adapter for a gauge sender. both adapters from the gauges do not fit. Did not come blocked off. Is this where the stock sender for the car goes?

    3. That's a drain plug, I'm not that crazy. lol!

     

    Thanks in advance

    Seems like everything for these cars are worth drug monies... Probably double drug monies here in the states

    Try this link for individual components:

    http://www.batinc.net/mocal-central.htm

    or for low price:

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALUMINUM-ENGINE-OIL-FILTER-RELOCATION-KIT-MALE-FITTING-3-X-NYLON-RAIDED-LINE-/300950089081?hash=item461205ed79:g:sRUAAOxy0P1SDz9q&vxp=mtr

     

     

    Thanks for suggesting the Mocal, Probably what I will be going with.

    For sure do not want something that can destroy my motor, coming from china.

    The eBay link did although contain something that made me curious, it listed bolt patterns,

    " 6, 0.875” x 12.125” Bolt Pattern;
      7, Fitment: 3/4"X16UNF or M20x1.5 Thread "

    So basically this means I can get a brand name oil filter relocation kit from a different model car as long as it has this bolt pattern and fitment? Correct?

    Thanks again.

    Mocal will have what you need;

    In NZ I would just go to a speed shop and pick out what I want - guess it depends where you are.

    Thanks for the link. But that seems also to be a "kit". Is there somewhere I can buy just the two plates?

    Unfortunately "speed shops" do not really exist in the states any more. 99% is online! Horrible, I know.

     

    Thanks

    I ended up putting in 2x HC35s in parallel, and used an ANL fuse holder with 250A fuse because my 300A stinger breakers were lost in the mail.

    I fabricated an aluminium panel for a giant on/off switch, the ANL holder and a small fused distribution block for things like fuel pump and stereo.

    To hide it all away I fabricated a wooden panel covered in matching fabric and some metal brackets to cover it over to hide it away.

    I'm pretty pleased with the result.

    Thank you! That is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I was also planning to make an MDF board to cover everything. I have done the same in my past cars. Question, How did you secure the batteries to the trunk? Did, you drill holes through and bolt them underneath? That's something I am trying to sway from. In the states these cars still cost a ton of money. Don't really want to be drilling extra holes yet.

    I was thinking of having something like this welded onto my rear strut bar to secure the battery. I couple guys I know run this in their E30.

    What do you think?

    Ebay brand Din gauge holders?

    Has anyone used these ebay brand Single Din Gauge holders?

    Is the fitment ok? Sturdy?

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/PREMIUM-Universal-DIN-Gauge-Pod-52mm-2-1-16-triple-pod-radio-mount-/262474852829

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/52mm-Universal-Triple-Gauge-Single-Din-Radio-Face-Pod-/121336909334

    Something along these lines?

    Usually I would mount gauges higher around the steering column, but I do not want to drill into the dash. 

    Anything better ideas?

    TIA!
