Time to fit some gauges to see what she is doing during these warm times we're having ...
I've settled for the Redarc, Boost, EGT and numerical temp. which will be my water temp ...
Just in a dillema now, 2 optional sensors related to the water temperature are as follows:

GS-OWT1-4 - A coolant or oil temperature sensor with a 1/4 NTP thread that is designed to measure from -20~ +170°C. Itis supplied with 3 metre extension cable to connect to your REDARC gauge.

or


GS-OWT1-8 - The REDARC GS-OWT1-8 is a coolant or oil temperature sensor with a 1/8 NTP thread that is designed tomeasure from -20~ +170°C. It is supplied with 3 metre extension cable to connect to your REDARC gauge.


Quickly do any of these fit any of the ones on the thermostat hosing, specifically the larger one that I circled in green ? I did try searching this and the other forum, but I'm more confused now than when I started. So yeah does anybody know exactly what fitting I need ?

And another somewhat silly question, but thought I better ask. Undoing any of these sesnors on the housing, will obviously spew coolant out, I'd do it when it's cold, but would I have to bleed the system afterwards ? Never fiddled with these so.... Very green on this !!

There are no NPT threads on a Patrol. Nissan use BSPT for all tapered fittings.

The threads in that housing are not tapered. From memory, it's a M10x1.5

You might find it will make a lot less mess if you drop your coolant level first from the tap under the radiator.

I'm pretty sure the one you circled is a 12 x 1.5. The 2 outside ports are 12 x 1.5 and the one in the middle is a 10 x 1.5

Yes M12 metric fittings.

Thanks folks. So i can still utilize that hole, just with an adapter.
