It clips onto the top drivers side of the factory plastic radiator shroud. But buggered if i know what youve done with the other end :P You might have accidentally poked it in infront of the new radiator. Undo the clamps and pull it forward and see if its in there somewhere.

damn , i have no clue as to where that is.. i took out all the old radiator components . would this connector be running underneath the top radiator support bar to feed off onto the shroud? because i was looking for an hour and searching forums as to where it came from . i dont even remember disconnecting it lol :P

on another note , if iv thrown out what i may of needed is it detrimental running the car if it isnt connected?

Ill have a look on mine tomorrow for you and snap a picture :)

I thought that was the temp sensor? So the ECU knows what the ECT is and adjusts fuelling etc accordingly.

I wouldnt run without it untill a more in-the-know guru replies.

Are or were either of your cars autos? I have the same sensor with the same plug hanging. It has been like that for as long as I can remember. I have a faint memory of it being a sensor for coolant temperature in the bottom tank that was connected to the auto tranny loom, which has been in the bin with my auto tranny for more than 10 years.

No mines manual. And always has been.

yeah this is a manual here aswell , its the sensor coming out of the bottom of the radiator , its only short so youd think itd be pretty easy to find where it goes , but i cant remember at all.

and yes cheers man if you can take a photo and post it or pm me with it thatd be great :)

Id love to know too

My 32 has a sensor with chopped wires, the radiator is out of some other car, and its had an auto to manual conversion.

So really i dont even know if 32s have them to begin with.

I do know from mucking about that the sensors on the manifold are for the ecu(2pin) and dash(1 pin).

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
