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.

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.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...

      All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.

      I just try to entirely stay away from ladder now unless it's something basic maintained by electricians. Even then and to your point, it mostly ends up being blocks I wrote in structured text.  PLC's are slowly going towards C, C++ and C#. I just wish Allen-Bradley would jump on the bandwagon.

      All of them are missing. You do not get much done with just AND, OR and NOT unfortunately. Ecumaster for example has a text based editor with at least 60+ math and logic instructions.
