As the subject says.

Looking for a set of english instructions to install this thing, google or forum searches here didnt find anything for me.

This is the unit im talking about: http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/competi.../mfunction.html but cant find anything on the nismo site either.

So this is a Nismo edition of the standard MFD in the GTRs?

Just wondering because I couldn't locate any of the "G Meter" or Lap timing features on mine that were mentioned in the Top Gear review Clarkson did. I had assumed it was a different variant on the UK imports..

here ya go. read the last line.

Nismo's MFD Upgrade is an upgraded vehicle monitoring system. It comes in two versions. The first allows standard vehicles to receive the same information as the V-Spec Models on the in dash screen. Including Boost, Throttle %, Injector Cycle, Oil Temperature, Water Temperature plus Exhaust Temperature and Intake Temperature.

Some nice changes to standard features include increased boost readings up to 2.0bar, and increased range for temperature meters. These are a must for tuned GT-R 34s.

Additional features include a Start up display upgrade, Single mode Meter display or Twin mode meter display. G force-meter, Lap Time information and more.

The MFD also includes MFD Data Logging Analyser system software. The software can also display many more parameters. Unfortunately this is available only in Japanese, however there is abundant information on the internet on how to navigate through this software.

Fitting involves removing the dash screen and swapping electrical circuit boards inside this enclosure as well as adding the new boost sensor.

Rysith, yeah im pretty sure it was only ones imported into the UK by nissan themselves that had the gforce meter and whatnot unlocked. The nismo one you can buy (around $800ish i think) that i have has all the extra features. Pretty rich but its my toy so ill spoil myself with it :)

Im not fitting the unit myself however I asked if the workshop could fit it while it was in and they asked if it had english instructions so if I had them I could guarantee it would be done.

The workshop has apparently got this thing fitted but now they say they cant install the software for it as its in japanese?

Is the software needed just for the meters in the car? or is the software just for the lap timer gear if you want it on the comp?

Anyone had any experience with this unit. thanks in advance

as far as i know the software is only used to download data to a laptop, hasnt got anything to do with actually running the MFD.

have they tried rebooting the mfd after putting in the circuit boards?

btw brett if it wasnt much trouble could u possibly take some pictures has to where the circuit boards are placed? im comtiplating getting the nismo version myself, and would love to know how to get it working before i purchase it.

of course if its outta your way dw about it.

Sorry I didnt install it myself, as far as im aware though the installation shouldnt be too hard for someone who knows what they're doing, from what other have said its just a matter of swapping the 2 circuit boards and fitting the new boost sensor (and a little button in cabin somewhere for the lap timer if you want it). My workshop (C&J Motorsport bris southside) managed to install it without any english manuals and really cheap.

Setup is a little bit tricky as I had to search online for a good hour and piece everything together to work it out and everything is in japanese again, once you have a good set of instructions though its easy enough, pm me if you need any help took me about 10min once I knew what I was doing (as you need to take the car for a quick drive). Might even write up a little tutorial while I can still remember as I couldnt find anything on SAU and the UK GTR site was missing a few things.

Btw its a nice little addition to the car, probably overpriced but its worth it to have the neat feature like the gforce meter :D plus on my standard mfd I guess it wasnt setup properly and throttle sensor and another one wasnt working, however with the nismo one now all sensors work 100%. One thing I did notice however was my cd player wasnt working anymore im not sure if the nismo one doesnt work with it or the workshop didnt hook it up, however im not fussed as I have a dvd/audio player waiting to go in.

Reviving an old thread here but I cant seem to find anywhere else in regards to the setup process of installing the NISMO MFD Ver II. :(

I tried msg'ing AhhBurt but he hasnt been online since 2011! lol

So can anyone shed some light on how to setup the Nismo MFD once installed?

Cheers,

Glen

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
