Project-GT4-TT

Just fished some instructions on how to swap your guage cluster for a gtr one. I havent done this yet so i cant confirm it works when i have finished it i will post pics but that might not be for a while because i want to take the dash out when i do it to run the wires for my MFD aswell but cant afford to be without my car for now. I worked it out using the service manuals. It involves pulling every wire pin out of its connector and rearanging them, also making some wires shorter and some longer. I wrote the instructions refering to my R34 GT-4 which does not have HICAS which is why the HICAS ROW is coloured blue. The connector pin numbers are in the doccument, an example of what to do is (Drivers door switch signal) PIN # 2, move to PIN # 52, on the third connector, therefore the wire will have to be made longer. IMPORTANT: I wrote the columb on wether the wires have to be made longer or shorter based on the fact that i guessed that the wires would come from the left, i havent pulled my guages out yet so therefore do not know if this is right... obviously if the wires come from the right just do the opposite. I would suggest labling every wire before you start removing them because you dont want to stuff something up. Im going to buy a DYMO lable maker and put the move to # on every one the pull them all out then put them back where there meant to be. Just a suggestion. Can someone please tell me why i cant upload EXCEL doccuments, should i be able to, and then i will post the instructions up.

As topic description states im looking for the pinout or wiring diagram of the connectors that go to the stock popup screen in an r34. Anyones help is greatly appreciated.

Re: how to remove cover on MFD: 1) first you have to remove the air-con vent ( i did this by getting a flat screwdriver and putting a piece if electrical or duct tape over the end and then pushed it in between the vent and the aircon controler and levering the vent forward, once on the left half and then once on the right half, once you have the bottom of it partially out you should be able to pull it out with your hands.) when i removed mine the vent face on the bottom partially clicked off the vent box yours will most likely do the same, dont worry the five or so clips allong the bottom will just push back together. i read in this section i think by viet boi that he put the screwdriver in between the the left vent and the dash. up to you which you think is the best way to do it. 2) then there are two screws on the front of the cover, remove them 3) for menory there are two clips at the middle of each side and two hooks ate the back of the cover, so you need to lift it from the front only then pull it forward slightly to unhook the back Hope this helps Re: where to get an MFD I bought mine off a user of this forum, you could allways try www.slidewizeimports.com or www.importmonster.com.au i havent bought anything off these sites before so i cant tell you how good they are but importmonsters system does look a lot better. go on importmonster (you have to sign up, doesnt take long) click on the brouse button on the top of the page, interior equipment on the left, nissan and then search for mfd Now Iwill get to what i really came to my post for. I just picked up the harness i ordered for the MFD a few weeks ago, im so exited, its the right thing, 24036 AA301 as i said befor is the part number will post up a pic later.

Pic 5: DVD working Pic 6: DVD working(clearer pic) Pic 7: DVD using PAL signal (B&W and not straight)(LOOK I DONT HAVE A TV BUTTON)

If you know how to hook up a deck you can easily connect a GTR MFD to DVD/NAV or whatever you like at a reasonable cost. IMPORTANT, most decent brand dvd/nav systems (alpine,pioneer) will output a NTSC signal you just have to change the settings on the dvd/nav system, there is NO need to buy a CONVERTER. I dont mean to hijack this thread but have a look at mine. : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...fo-t223920.html I got the TV function working on mine and it DOESNT even have a TV BUTTON I also got the 2 extra sensors working that dont come in a non v-spec I havent posted pics yet but full instructions are there

I found this info on gtr.co.uk so thanks to the users on there: BurtGTR & StretchGSK vbmenu_register("postmenu_899305", true); address: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/97499-ni...etup-probs.html or here it is: (i think your problem is answered in the last post) Nismo MFD Setup probs. Hey, ive been searching the forums for the last half hour but with no luck. The workshop installed my MFD however couldnt set anything up as the instructions are in jap obviously and they couldnt find anything online. I was trying to follow these instructions.. Quote:Don't touch the accelerator........Switch the ignition on..........the screen will display some japanese writing on the left of the screen the only english bit says off............press the joystick in once.............the writing will move to the right of the screen............switch off ignition. Switch the ignition on whilst holding the joystick in. Release the joystick 1 second after you see the GTR logo, then straight after that press the joystick 5 times in 3 seconds whilst the GTR logo is still displayed. This should display an accelerator setup box, at this point just push the accelerator back and forth to make sure it's registering properly. Once that's done, turn off the ignition again. This time start the car, again holding down the joystick and again pressing it 5 times in 3 seconds. This time you should get a display of all of the functions supported..........eg exhaust temp, oil temp, yaw rate, steering etc. Some of them will be black and some will be green. The green ones are ones that the MFD is registering an input from. At this point you'll need to go for a drive to get oil temp, water temp etc etc to register. That's why it's important to start the car for this stage. If you switch the ignition off before they're all green, they simply won't appear on the MFD once it's up and running. it's just blank. This procedure works for the factory MFD too, I've tried it. The first time I put in my MFD 2 I didn't let them all go green and turned off the ignition and the MFD only showed oil pressure and intake temp and boost, all the others were missing !!! Once you've been out for a drive and they all show green. Stop the car, turn off the ignition. Restart the car and you're all done. Ive done the first step... but the very next one which is Quote:Switch the ignition on whilst holding the joystick in. Release the joystick 1 second after you see the GTR logo, then straight after that press the joystick 5 times in 3 seconds whilst the GTR logo is still displayed. what I cant get to work. I hold the joystick in and switch the ignition on but the screen stays blank while I hold the joystick in, when I eventually let it out it just comes back to the original screen with the jap writing on the left, doesnt matter hold long i hold it in no logo. Ive found comments were other guys have said these instructions were missing bits but they never said anything more, so I havnt had any luck yet. If anyone could enlighten me id appreciate it *** MFD setup and calibration info: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/94390-mf...l?highlight=mfd (this is a very good writeup includes every thing i wrote in my first post plus lots more including nismo v2 info) (one important thing he does state on this page is nismo reccomend that you only go through this setup prcedure with your stock ecu not an aftermarket one!!!) Thanks to Canman I also struggled to access this setup page but just had to keep trying untill I got it right*** Ok finally figured out what was going on. The screen with the japanese writing and the "off" in there is actually the throttle adjustment screen, with the nismo mfd v2 its the first screen that comes up without even holding in the joystick or anything. Take your foot off the accelerator and press the joystick to the writing goes to the right, then hold your foot flat on the acc and press the joystick again, then it will go to a 3rd screen where you can test the throttle works fine. From there you can follow the instructions. Turn the car off, hold the joystick in and start the car, press the joystick 5 times etc once the logo comes up and then it'll take you to the sensor check, go for a drive for 5min till they all go green then turn the car off. Magic your done. Hopes this saves someone else the stress I went through trying to find it.

KennyJ: Please excuse everything in the bottom part of this post i couldnt remember what you asked and thought it was how to remove the MFD but you have obviously done it, well maby what ive said will make someone elses life easier, anyway i dont know how to to set the nismo V2 up but i remember seing it on gtr.co.uk so maby do a search on there, also i think after you get it working you might need to enter the service menu [ i explained this in my first post] to get all the sensors working, though this is most likely only needed when you add sensors rather than just changing them. Kenneth would you mind letting me know how much you paid for the nismo V2 and from who, i know you can get it from nengun, i would like to buy it one day. Taleb Tyres: yes i presume nissan would be the only one you could buy the sensors from Also i say on a post by a guy that set the MFD up in his GTT that the intake sensor is about $173 iff i remembre correctly. It would probably be better just to buy the nismo V2 MFD kit because i think its only about 150 extra hand has the 2 sensors. THE TV CONNECTION Yes you can use this to hook up a dvd player, just make sure it puts out a NTSC signal (on my pioneer home theatre one i need to hold the play button while turning it on, it should say in the users manual if it does put out an NTSC and how to change the setting if you can). The connection: if you read the middle part of my first post where i list numbers it explains how to hook up the rca cable or alternatively buy the clarion adapter harness. If you take off the moulded plastic cover from the top of your display you should see the white and brown connectors im talking about on the back of the unit. Refer (Pic4) (cant upload pic 4, camera batterys dead) You cant quite see them but i went to Jaycar and got DIL (dual in line) computer chip connectors and cut then to the desired width to go in the sockets (there similar to the connectors that get put in your ECU to hold ROMs if you get the stock ECU retuned) if you get these make sure you get the sealed back ones, just ask to see both types and you will see what i mean, because i bought both because thy didnt have enough of the good ones and after i cut them to length and soldered the wires on the end pins kept comming out when i pushed them in the the sockets. By the way they are a b***h to solder decent wires to seing as the ends are only about 0.8mm by 4mm. REMOVING THE MFD My stuff was already appart when i got it so i will try to explain how i think it would be easiest to take it appart with some pics aswell. 1) The the aircon vent/hazzard button unit looks like it has to come out first (my dash came without the MFD so i just grabed it by the top n bottom and pulled it forward but you wont be able to do that) so the only thing i can think off is to get 4 flat head screwdrivers and lay bits of material over the tips wedge two in the top and two in the bottom and get someone to help you lever it out at the same time (mine looks like it was only leverd from the middle top as it has a slight impression in the plastic... Refer (Pic1) 2) next it looks like there is 2 screws holding the MFD cover in from the front, you will also see where these screw in, in (Pic1) 3) then it looks like the MFD cover has 2 clips halfway dow on the sides, so i think you need to grab it from the front and tilt just the front up (Pic 2) shows where the clips sit. 4) the reason i say you tilt the front up is because in (Pic2) you can also see two slots in the front (closest to the window) of the the dash i believe also hold the cover in. so it looks like after you tilt it up you slide the cover towards you and then it should come off. 5) then i think there are 4 screws holding the MFD down and after taking those out and unplugging the 2 connectors you should be able to take it out. THE MAP SENSOR im not shure but i think it is the sensor at the top right hand side (drivers) of the firewall with one thin (6mm or so) tube and one three wire plug going into it, refer (Pic3) Pic5&6: look a MFD without the TV button but im watching a DVD Pic7: what it will look like if you connect up a PAL signal instead of an NTSC (black and white and blured) Pic10: just a pic of all my stuff n the MFD on the table while i was checking that all this worked properly I might take the screen off the MFD tommoro to show you guys which wires you join a switch to to get the TV function if your unit didnt come with a switch, like mine . Im having trouble uploading thie pics. i will upload them tommorro, Also i havent posted on here much before so could someone please tell me how people upload the pics in the middle of a post where you can see the without downloading then. (do they have to be on a web server?) Please excuse my stupidity.

Have a look at my post http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...fo-t223920.html If you want to buy a proper nissan connector with the clips to hold it in there good. Like i said in my post i have not recieved the connector yet so i dont know if it is the right one. if you have a look at the second word doccument i uploaded there is some pics in it that nissan showed me of what i believe is the sub-harness that you could use to hook it up. I will post here as well as in my original post when i receive it to whether it is the right piece of harness or not. Just thought you and others might like to know cos if it is the right part is should make it a lot easier to hook up and give a good connection.

Forgot i had a PDF that someone else write up that includes most of this info with pics, so am posting it up now. The guy says to solder a link inside the MFD. If you do that you will not have to ground one of the wires (6 OR 24) dont know which one, i havent checked yet. His document includes a part number for a clarion adapter harness so you dont have to join your own rca cable or socket onto the MFD. The only thing it does not include is how to add a TV switch for the models that didnt come with it, so just follow my directions for how to do that. I cant remember where i got this form but thanks to mike, the author. R34_GTR_MFD_MIKE.pdf

I posted this as a reply to a post on gtr.co.uk. I thought it might be useful info here too. If someone could make this a “sticky” here, possibly even make an electronics section that would be appreciated. I didn’t think it suited the “audio and alarms” section so I have posted it here. I have also nearly finished a write up on what needs to be done to install a R34 GTR gauge cluster and will post that up when finished. (eg. What wires need to be swapped where) You don’t need the Nismo MFD V2 kit to get the intake and exhaust sensors showing, also you can get the TV function working without the TV button. To get the extra sensors working first you need to buy them and hook them up then enter “Diagnostic mode” what is being called service mode. The exhaust temp sensor part number is 22630LA. To enter Diagnostic mode: 1: Turn ignition to off 2: While pressing and holding the MFD joystick in, turn the ignition to on (and start the car) 3: After opening screen (GTR logo) has appeared on the screen for more than 1 second release the joystick. 4: Within 3 seconds after the GTR logo has appeared on the screen press the joystick 5 times Then you should see the list of all 15 sensors. 6: Turn the car off after all sensors have been registered to exit this mode (important: if you exit this mode before all sensors have been verified they will not work in the normal mode) The car needs to be on a fairly level surface for this to work or the G-sensors might not be registered. This info is taken from page EL-32 of the R34 GTR service manual supplement. If you are trying to get the exhaust sensor reading working you will need to warm up the car first as it states on the next page of the service manual the exhaust temp sensor must be at 400C or more / 4.9V reading. To get to the TV mode you need to add a momentary switch between the wires 5 and 7 behind the screen. To remove the screen from the main unit unscrew the four 4 screws that hold it on ( 2 either side) Don’t take it off too fast or you could disconnect the white connector strips, it doesn’t matter if you disconnect them but iff you accidentally yank them out you may damage something. Below the two whit connector strips there are 13 wires for memory, the first one is white and the rest are blue count from the white to the 5th ant the 7th and join cables to them to a switch wherever you want. Pressing the button once will enter TV mode, Pressing it again will exit it You need to connect a NTSC video signal (yellow RCA cable, no different to red or white) to the White connector at the back of the main unit. The number positions are as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 - - 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 Connect the outer part of the cable (signal ground) to 16 and the signal wire to 17. I’m not sure if you will have to if you car came with the MFD stock, but in order for me to get this working as I add the MFD to my car I had to ground wires 6 and 24 with the main ground wires 13 and 14. If anyone wants to hook up an MFD but doesn’t have to original wiring with connectors I believe the part number is: 24036AA301 should be about $200 trade price. Don’t quote me on this as this part number brings up a description of “audio harness” on nissans systems, but they showed me the pictures of where it sits in the dash and I believe it is the right part, I will let you guys know as soon as I receive it. Nissan make harnesses to order so they said I could be waiting a while for this. I will do a proper write up with pics when I get around to it, but for now the word document includes pages from the service manual on howk to enter the diagnostic mode and how to enter the mode to adjust the throttle position calibration on the MFD and pics of sensor positions and harness.
