The looks to be the engine temp sensor for the ecu.

For the rb20 I was pretty sure you had to use your ka water temp sensor or the gauge would be way off ?

Seems odd that Nissan would use different thermistors for the ECU's. Why, why, why??? It's not like different cars run at significantly different temperatures.

As you can see it the first sensor you run into going from the radiator to the motor. Jon Powell. How much do you want for it? The motor is an RB25DET.

By clip, do you mean the plug? When I think of clip, I think of a little plastic thing used to hold trim panels in place or bumper covers...I dont think of plugs...we always called them pigtails in the autobody business....but look at this pic and tell me if it is what you wanted.

My first RB25 blew up so I was sent another RB25 to replace it. I saved all the little pieces I thought I might need again. I have sensors, gaskets, bolts, clips, wiring, filters, anything you can imagine....CAS, igniter...just about a complete engine sitting in boxes and Ziploc bags in my basement.

No, I didnt have a extra harness for the 240SX, and it was for an RB25DE from a Stagea...different. I kept it for the connectors and extra wire.
