ok i got a din 3 gauge set but yer no idea what im doin when it comes to electrics....

i have an auto stag and the gauges are from a 33 gtr.. has the front torque, engine oil temp and boost...

if any one has done this or can point me in the right direction that would be awesome..

rang my mate at nissan and found out i could get a custom made wiring loom made up so it will all plug straight in but is up to 2k lol so im not goin there eheh...

cheers if u can help

umm sorry but you should probably just chuck it in the bin.

all of those gauges run off electric sender units, and there is a specific plug and loom that runs it. So to get it to work you need to get the 33 gtr senders (what are they, oil temp? boost? volts? can't remember). and you also need that loom. Or if you are good withi wiring you could possibly build your own loom if you can trace the pins on the plugs and solder the wires directly to the circuit board.

much easier way is to get a 3 gauge din adapter from just jap or similar, buy 3 gauges you want (with senders) and put them in.

If you have a Series 2 then the senders are there for oil pressure and front torque split, you just need to run a couple of wires. And obviously volts will be easy :ermm:

hmm only if the plug on the loom is the same between the different models (6 years apart). I bet they aren't

Yeah, I would bet the loom's not even there (never seen a spare plug back in the centre console), I was working under the assumption that one would have to run wires oneself.

Edit: Front torque sender comes from the ATTESA computer itself, located in the rear left-hand side of boot, need to go through the whole deal of peeling carpet back. Only one wire to trace, and it's listed in the workshop manual.

Oil pressure or temperature (not sure which one, I suspect temperature) sender is located in the oil cooler/oil filter mounting bracket, front facing. See picture here.

There's no boost sender from the ECU but tapping into the boost sensor unit itself (firewall side of rocker cover(s) may be a simple task. Then again, it may not...

Did you end up wiring it up ?

I just bought an R33 GTR 3 gauge cluster (it has Front Torque, Oil Temp and Boost gauges).

I'm thinking I probably would have been better off with a R32 or 34 set as they have Volts instead of Front Torque. I rarely run in 4wd mode so front torque probably isn't very useful.

I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron and multi-meter so I will let you know how I go.

If anyone has some handy hints that would be great.

Im going to have a look for the plug. Most likely won't find one so probably solder in a different plug.

The gauge connector has 8 pins: GND, ETS, ETS+, ILL+, ILL, OTM, BOOST+ and IGN.

GND - Chassis Ground.

ETS and ETS+ - Front torque (Anyone know about these??).

ILL+ and ILL - Illumination (ILL probably connected to GND, ILL+ to 12V light on wiring).

IGN - 12V Ignition wiring.

BOOST+ - Boost sensor (Anyone know what voltage??).

OTM - Oil Temp Meter (Anyone know what voltage??).

I have a S2 Stagea RS4 so hopefully most of the sensors go back to the ECU.

One slight problem im going to have is make it look factory. As on the R33 gauges the top right corner it chopped off. So im probably going to make a custom fibreglass front panel for it (when I can be bothered). Another reason I should have got an R32 one.

I have been searching around for information on wiring up the torque split gauge. Need connections for ATTESSA on a R33 or R34. No luck so far.

Im starting to think the easiest way might be to find someone with a Stagea RS260 or R33-34 and find out the wiring colours for the 3 gauge cluster. Hopefully the wiring colours will be the same.

Anyone got a wreck that has or had a 3 gauge cluster in it ? Maybe they had the same colours in the R32 as well.

if someone tells me where the atessa computer is im nearly bored ( and drunk) anough to go check the color wire from my torque split gauge back to the ecu

and lol at the 2nd or 3rd post . a "volt gauge sender " ah ha ha

lachlanw I will have to get drunk to understand your drunk talk :)

That would be nice if you could find a diagram for the Attessa, Think you will find its just for the ECU diagram plenty of those around.

Can't you just pull the torque guage out and stick something more usefull in?

Thats what i was thinking of doing originally. Until someone told me the 4wd works alot of the time, I thought it was just when the 4wd switch is turned on.

Might be handy knowing what its doing. However it wouldn't be to hard to put a different gauge in.

here is a picture of the back of my rs four s factory gauges . it has boost front torque and volts . the lime green with red stripe is "ets +" . 2nd picture is of the attesa ecu where the same coloured wire goes into it .

3rd picture is the factory oil temp sender i was talking about earlier

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
