if its the one in top radiator hose (solid section that bolts to the motor) then its the coolant temp sender for the ecu and will cause some problems if its farked. not sure where you can get a new one but could try a second hand one, they're pretty reliable

yar,very cautious bout using secondhand 20 yo sensors ,mite be as borked as mine but looks like that might be the way i hafta go

thanks for that guys, will give repco a go as they are just up the road from me

Don't bother with repco, I work there, we don't stock such a part for an import. Each store would be 10x the size it is if we stocked something specific as a coolant temp sensor for an imported skyline!

+1 for nissan.

i tried repco joondalup and they dont stock tridon stuff BUT he cross referenced it with another catalog and reckons a pulsar N15 one is the same and costs $43, will compare that price with DVG parts in bassendean when i givem a call monday

I have one that I no works u can have for 20 if u come pick if up txg or call 0411698969 cheers brenno

hi brenno, thankyou for the offer but i will try the new option first and give you a call if that falls through, thanks mate

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
    • 'sif the error will be that low!
    • I do know where there is a fair few 馃槈
