Lol when you said on board computer, I thought you meant the ECU lol.

If you meant a MFD (multi functional display), like this one:

165546_10150166583989409_568889408_8257640_5458213_n.jpg

Then I bought mine for $800 2nd hand, they range from $700-1000. And it took me 8 hours to wire it up, considering that I have NO experience with electronics, never installed a headunit before lol.

I think if you were to get someone to do it, it would cost like $200-300.

There's one on sale on SAU (for sale section) I believe. As for other places, maybe wreckers, private sales or from Japan.

As for "it has everything". To be honest with you, I think the MFD is overrate lol, if I have a choice now, I wouldn't have bought one, would rather spend that money elsewhere. But I guess the MFD would raise my resale price if I was to sell my car.

As for wiring. You will need to splice into your ECU harness, triple gauage harness, speedo cluster harness. There's probably about 10-12 wires you need to locate and splice into.

But I do see your project being a more difficult job. Because with stock GTT's, they come with the triple gauage cluster, which is hooked up to the boost, and oil temp. Which a NA GT wouldn't have (the triple gauage & harness). That would mean that you'd have to locate those things yourself and splice into it. Because if I remember right, the MFD splices into 3-4 wires in the triple gauage harness.

I honestly reckon you shouldn't do all that to a NA R34. If you are on your P's and restricted to a NA, then you should just keep the NA until you are off your P's, then sell it and buy a GTT. Because the price difference between the GT and GTT is barely anything. And that way, you wouldn't have to muck around with upgrading all the brakes and stuff. It will also be a cheaper way to go.

Yeah your probs right be much easier to just wait till im off my p's. plus if i dont spend the money on the MFD it means i can put more towards sound and shit. thanks for the help mate.

Also it seems you think that you can just get an N/A car and put a turbo in. You cant just place a turbo on a non turbo engine in case you didn't know, you need to upgrade everything under the bonnet, it would probably cost more than a gtt itself.

yeah i know but wasnt sure that a gtt was roughly same price until mentioned above, and figured i was doing it the cheaper way till i researched it

Just make sure you do enough research before buying a skyline, since you don't know too much about it. Regarding insurance and what's legal and what's not etc etc :P

yeah im pretty much set with research i got two friends that are heavy skyline fans and both own r34's. im thinking cause i love the 4 doors il keep my first one stock and once off p's keep it and get a gtt. or can you buy gt-t skylines in 4 door?

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
