I require such a simple and small item, that no-one appears to have:

GReddy Oil Temperature sensor adaptor (Part #16400713)

You wouldn't believe how many shops I have tried for such a simple thing that converts the OE R32 GTR oil temp sender thread (M12x1.25) to an aftermarket oil temp sender thread (1/8" NPT)

I have tried Pirtek, Enzed and various other suppliers that deal with

fittings to no avail.

Will pay be any preferred method: COD, Money Order, Direct Deposit, Credit Card, etc.

I think you'll have to do what I had to do to fit my oil temp probe, and that's buy a fitting and get a machine shop to modify it and put the correct thread on it for you.

I've attached a pic of the adaptors you can buy from VDO.

If I was you (if you can't find one that's correct) is buy on of these that has a bigger outside thread, and a smaller inside thread and then take it to a machine shop and get them to machine the correct threads on it for you.

To do this same thing to my oil temp adaptor cost me $18. Not much really.

But it's important that you buy one that has enough brass around it that they can machine it down to the right size.

Good luck

Jay95R33, you're an absolute legend for replying so quickly and even taking the time to post a pic grabbed from the VDO catalogue. Cheers...

What you have suggested was going to be my last resort. I suggested this idea to all parties, including Pirtek, Enzed and even my engineer which does custom stuff for me, but they all reckon that by the time you have machined the thread down from say M14 down to a M12 thread, this would leave a VERY thin wall. like around 1mm - 2mm at the most in the overall thinkness of the brass. (prone to failure: cracking & leaking. and at worst: possibility of brass fragments breaking off into the oil supply system!:eek: )

I will do this if i have no luck in sourcing the purpose-made GReddy product. Best price so far was $35 but this was ex-Japan and tacked onto a larger order to avoid the rediculous freight charges. And Also around 3 weeks wait...

Anyone else know who STOCKS these here, in Australia?

methinks you're right.. i'll see if i get any response on here anyway, but it'd be a shame to order such a small part from Japan for such a high expense and long wait.:( Pity i don't need anything substantial ordered from Japan at the moment...:)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
