Hi all,

Have been looking for a few days on the forums for the location of the coolant temp sensor on a R32 gts-t.

A picture woudl be great help, but even a description of where it's located would be awesome.

Also if you could point me in the direction of the CAS (Crank angle sensor) as well.

Thanks for your help.

Don't do it man.

Can't find it can't fix it. You will probably snap it off or cross thread it It something even more mental than that.

What do you plan on doing to the cas?

How come you don't Google image search rb25 cas. It's not hidden.

But DONT DO IT. TAKE IT SOMEWHERE.

Hi

I dont really want to touch the cas as i hear you have to put it back exactly the way you found it.

It's more for future reference.

I more so want to know where the coolant temp sensor is so i can get the part number off it to buy a new one.

CAS = right side (passenger side) camshaft, grey/silver round thing with a plug on it. Has three bolts.

Temp sensor = follow the radiator hoses until you see two probe things with wires coming out of it, driver's side of the engine. The yellow plug one is the one you're after (has two pins).

Coolant temp sensor is a green plug on the drivers side of radiator.

No mate, that's the thermo switch for the aircon's thermo fan.

As posted already, just follow the top radiator hose and you'll come across both temp senders.

The single wire sender is for the dash gauge and the twin wire one is for the ecu.

Then if you're really keen, you'll find another in one of the coolant pipes at the firewall. That one is for the aircon control unit.

Crazy complicated cars these old things.

You are correct. I had a massive mental blank, no idea why I thought that was the coolant temp sensor :|

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
