Im trying to find a t-piece fitting so i can run my aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauges. Pressure is fine as the sensor fits in the block, the temp is the issue as it uses a M12 by 1.25 thread.

I went to enzed and they do nothing in M12 by 1.25, which is annoying as if they dont have anything wtf are you meant to do?

Surely there is a place that sells or can make a fitting for me?

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunently that fittings the wrong way, I need a female m12 by 1.25 fitting.

The block fitting is 1/8, same as my new pressure fitting on my guage, but the thread on my temp sensor is m12 by 1.25.

I basically need a t-piece that has 1/8 male to the block, and 1 1/8 and 1 m12 by 1.25 female fittings.

Its annoying that these arnt common, even ebay has failed to bring something up.

So your saying youve got oil temp nd oil pres sensor and the temp is 1/8 npt and pressure is same as block which is 1/8 bspt. Go to enzed get a 1/8 npt female tee, then get a 1/8 npt to bspt converter male to male for block to tee.and also another converter male to female for your pressure gauge and the temp will just go into the tee.

Now i wpuldnt trust those two sensors hanging off the block with a tee as they might snap off from viberations so i would do one of two things.

1 get a oil filter sandwich plate and stick the temp sensor into that and put press srensor intp stock location.

2 get a braided line with one end screwed into block where and the other end into the tee setup as above then mount the tee secured somewhere so as to not suffer from vibratipns. All the stuff you need can be found at enzed.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
