Broken COOLANT sensor

So I was removing my Coolant Temperature sensor to replace it with a new one and when I took it off it was snapped in half. I tried to get tweezers to get the other half out and it just fell in. Should I leave it or try and get it out even though I can't feel it anymore????????? Would it be a problem ??

Don't feel too bad. I once dropped a coil pack bolt into my R32. Couldn't find it after spending half an hour looking for it (including magnetic bolt picker into the cylinder chamber). Fired it up, ting ting ting, bye bye stock turbine wheel. Engine spat the broken bolt out with worry though lol. Was a good time for a NEO6 turbo.

Sadly my dad wrapped that car around a pole a couple of months later :( . Engine now lives in a pillarless R31.

Dam that's not good to hear, I think I broke it cause it's hard starting my car now and once the car is warmed up and I shut it off and start the car again it revs up to 2000rpm like it's cold when the engine is actually already warm

      FS - RB30 Turbo upgrade bolton turbo kit - 600kw

      By Predator1 · Posted

      Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.

      I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)
