Yes that is it, It is 1/8 BSP on the block

It is there for cars not fitted with an oil cooler, I'm not sure if theres any in the RB25 range but It's there if there was ever a day that this was the case.

Won't need to drain oil to install a sensor there, you will only lose whatever oil was in the gallery at the time. So if you leave the engine overnight most of the oil should have drained out of that section

Great thanks for the clarification. Will try fitting the sensor on this weekend and hope it fits and works well. Fingers crossed.

ahh, so it's already plumbed to the stock oil cooler (in standard scenario)?

Not exactly

Take an RB30 for example. There is no oil cooler on these and they still need a spot for the oil pressure gauge, so they have this port on the block for the sender. RB20 is about the same situation from memory.

Seen as the RB25 is just an update of these, it still has the oil pressure port, but because the sender goes in the oil cooler then there is no need for it so it is just plugged off.

      And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
