R34 Pop Up Screen To Triple Cluster

[99 GTT]

Please feel free to add to this if you can help. I tried to post this in DIY but no luck so its here.

The idea of the following DIY is to remove some of the confusion getting around this forum about the following install.

Firstly get yourself a flat blade screwdriver and carefully remove the air con vents (may be a good idea to put a rag over end of screwdriver).

Now remove the screws found in the front of the screen and remove from dash.

Ok so now we are ready.

The first and most simple way of doing this would be to obtain the Triple cluster Harness. Hopefully this has come with the Cluster but if not it can be obtained from Nissan Part Number: 24018-AA500.

You will now need to remove the Speedo cluster, this is all of about 8 screws and it will come out. You may have to reach around and remove the 3 plugs from the cluster to remove it fully (good time to see if cluster has ever been removed before e.g. damage to plugs due to them being hard to remove)

Now it should be as simple as plug and play the triple cluster harness into main loom (see attached diagram)

(Please not the above method i have not tried but as Nissan only make one Main Loom the plug should be there. If some one can verify when they try that would be great)

The second way this can be undertaken would be to slice the wires onto the correct sensors that are located in the engine bay. (Please note that the pinouts on the ecu 47 and 60 can not be used for this)

Please see the following attachment for digram and wiring layout.

Well i hope that this helps someone on here and if i can help any further please ask.

Heya

I performed this conversion on my friend's R34 GT today. Had the fancy pop-up screen thing, which didn't work. (Random jap error message, open/closed at random, etc).

We got the gauges with the loom included, confirmed Part No 24018-AA500 as per tag attached to the loom.

I was not able to find any suitable connector to plug into. Keep in mind the gauge loom is going to follow a particular path, it is of a certain length, the corresponding plug would have to be in reach, but none was found. It also has two mounting plugs the same as that found on the loom for the screen loom, so I presume they mount to the same plastics on the dash (behind the cluster).

Given a car cannot have BOTH the triple gauges and the screen - only one or the other - I believe the wiring of each car is going to be different. There are other components too, such as the buttons where the climate controls are usually, as well as the computers in the boot. So when the car was made with that option specified, I'd put my money to say it was fitted with an appropriate loom from the factory. Vice versa, at the same time I can almost guarantee my GT-T which has the guages stock will not have the TV connectors/wiring in place.

To install the gauges, I cut the plug from the end of the loom, and spliced the 2 x Earth, Ignition 12v and Illumination into the wiring for the main cluster. I opted not to attach to the TV Loom, incase removing other components ceased power, illum. etc to be fed to those plugs. Not to mention it was much more difficult to decipher. For the Oil and Boost sensor wires, I've attached a few meters of wire to each to run to the engine bay to fit sensors later on. Alternatively, yeah, one could fit aftermarket gauges.
