have you thought about putting the aftermarket sensor in the back of the water pipe and then running the wires underneath the throttle cable cover? then you can have both working.
or maybe incorporate the stock gauge for something else. just a thought

My plan was to take that one wire sensor out and not use the dash and use a resistor to make the dash gauge look like its at the right temp
and hack the lower radiator hose. done deal.

So after viewing the pics, it looks like you bought someone elses unfinished project car. Did you get a car fax with it? By the looks of the various levels of old paint, I suspect that it's been wrecked.
You can see that the blue finish on the crossover tube is old and most of the aftermarket suspension parts are rusty.
It looks like you're doing alot on the body work, and with the interior gutted, why wouldn't you just remove all of the glass and trim before paint? Doing that would make it look like a new car when finished as opposed to a repainted car with the flaws that you tend to have where it's taped off.
If you bought the car in pieces, good luck getting it going. I can't wait to see the finished pics and dyno charts.

No it wasn't wrecked. And no im not doing any ones old prodject car. and no there snot rust they got sanding dust on everything. And that balnce tube was just painted my friend it also is dirty and it was painted once b4 i got my car 3 years ago no big deal. there a lot of sanding dust on everything . that makes it look old i guess. but if some reason you dont beleave me I would gladly go clean everything to take pictures to mame you happy. Also this is my z that i showed in past threads it was grey. an i have evry part to it. in bags labeled and boxed it only taped off for primer ,the windows will come out for final sanding. i just didnt have room to put them if i took them out

here is what spl says"Gauge install fittings
