This just in, I finally found a sensor to replace the OEM on in the same location. I'll just leave it here for FYI purposes M12x1.25 thread sensor http://www.apexi-usa.com/store/electronics/el-system/elii-system-meters-water-temperature-black-face-black-bezel.html

Thanks, do any of you know if where those sensors are mounted, is the water flowing in to the engine, or is that pipe taking water towards the radiator?

Nice point, I was hoping an aftermarket sensor could fit in like the factory one does. I don't have the stock gauge for the sensor so it's useless to me.

Smashing it! I love it. I'm putting an RB26 into an E36. You're doing great!

Hi team, I'm just going to ask this here unless you think I should ask it somewhere more specific, I have an RB26 and I'm going to install a water temp sensor but I'm interested to know if I can delete the old gauge sensor and if there are after market sensors that will fit in that spot. I know the thread for the OEM gauge sensor is M12x1.25 but most sensors I am finding say they are 1/8 NPT. Are these compatible threads, or does anyone know of a sensor that will fit in the OEM location for use with an aftermarket gauge. Also I don't have a water oil cooler/warmer set up, just a filter straight on to the block. Do I need to buy a filter relocation kit to install an oil pressure sender? What I've read in this thread has made sense, but I'm just not sure if I need an oil cooler and oil pressure sensor sensor. I'm pretty new to skylines and maintenance/modding but am pretty mechanically minded. Thanks,

Sorry to summon an old thread, but I can't find anywhere that tells me what the wires are on my R32 GTR alternator. I'm putting the RB26 into a BMW, and I get the positive and ground, but there's a small brown plug with 2 tabs sticking out and I don't know where I'm to connect them. Is one to a light and the other to ignition on?
