Gauge Install For R34

[ashneel]

Hey guys

Just a question regard gauge install.

I know for boost ill run a new vacuum hose but was thinking at the same time might as well change the voltage gauge and oil temp gauge.

Question is will I need to run new wires for the oil temp or can I just tap into the current factory wireing???

I think you'll have to run a sandwich plate on your oil filter... that's how most of the people here go about replacing the GTT triple gauge with aftermarket gauges.

Yeah a plate was needed when DRC installed my gauges for the R34 ..

thanks guys.

and im just guessing but for battery voltage that i can tap of the current loom???

[Howie]

Yep just tap the current voltage line.. or anything with a live wire. My old voltage gauge ran off the cig lighter.

you can tap the voltage line and the oil temp line, and even the oil preasure line! BUT!

The oil temp reads way to high. like double! AND you cant run both the stock oil preasure meter and an aftermarket one at the same time. One or the other.

A sandwitch plate would fix these issues.

Me like sandvich!

lol ok then

then what do i do to hook up an oil temp gauge???

Searching and found this, because I really wanted to be certain I wasn't running 130C oil temp on the highway cruising around...

....

...anyone want to sell me a loom and plug to go back to the original gauges?
