best gauge that displays everything including oil temp/pressure would be the infometer touch & rfit icolour.

if you just require basic stuff from the ODBII port, the ECUtalk consult cable connected to a laptop or the original info meter is fine (seen these for sale for under $150) so this will display whatever the stock ECU can show.

ppl with aftermarket ECU like haltech etc, they just run the USB cable from the ECU To the laptop and this will pretty much display everything bar oil temp/pressure.

someone should really make a unit like the info meter touch (doesn't have to be touch) but has sensor inputs for oil temp/press at a cheaper price.

considering the touch is around $600 RRP brand new and each sensor is around $150, it can get quite expensive just for a fancy display monitor.

a few options

option

iphone or ipod touch

for android

another option

option 3

HUD display, for android phones(headsup display) gheybackground music so be warned..lol

heads up display

I havent tried this on a skyline, but anything your computers sees from the port, the apps "should " display , some info like fuel economy, HP, etc are created by the car data and the phones, GPS/Accelerometer

and some can reset warnings on the ecu ? depending on the car of course

pretty sure if a you got caught touching that screen to scroll thru gauges while moving you would get a ticket, since it is a phone

plus you would run up somones butt by not looking at the road.

and you need the hardware , and the software, not just the app !!!!

you dont use a cable, its bluetooth/wireless, sorry the links failed, SAU site error

you plug the sender in and you search with your phone app to connect.

no idea which ECU it works on. anything ODB2 compliant should be fine.

Looking at adding extra sensors to my Informeter looks EXPENSIVE!

To give you an idea, as far as I can tell you need:

16401701 - sensor adapter

16401703 - pressure sensor harness

16401704 - temp sensor harness

16401304 - Replacement sensor - coolant/oil temp sensor

16401301 - Replacement sensor - turbo boost sensor

16401303 - Replacement sensor - fuel/oil press sensor

Most run ~$100 each!

Something to think about, depends on what you want to be able to check.

Well the way i look at it is that any sensor doesn't cost more than a good gauge/sensor combo ( for exemple, my STRI water temp was 130$) the water temp sensor is ''only around 70$.

The real cost is the price of the display, beside this, it actually doesn't cost more and it look/tells you a lot more than running 4 gauges like I am right now.

I'm also thinking about the older informeter going for 200$ but It doesnt tell as much as the touch and sure look less pretty.

So I bought the informeter touch but now I realised something lol!!!

1) the sensor adaptor only have 3 clips, meaning it can only read 3 external sensor !?

2) That sensor adaptor runs for 140$... could I tap myself the wire instead and save me 140$ ????

3) What does the OEM R32 ECU reads? oil pressure, water temp and boost? Should I rely on these reading? is it possible to buy new sensor so they can be as accurate as aftermarket sensor but reads from the ecu, meaning I don't need to go trought the sensor adaptor?

Bump. I have a BNR32 and I'm looking for a one-stop shop multi-function display. Is there a display on the market that can also read A/F ratio? I'm not fan to gauges at all so I prefer a display.

I know this thread is old but I'm looking at purchasing the Greddy also. Any pros and cons using it? Regrets? I think I understand that you can buy an adapter to plug into a Greddy e-manage?

    • Welcome!  We're not all grumpy.    
    • Welcome. We're all grumpy old men (and a few grumpy old women) who are slowly coming to hate these cars. Any of the newer owners who have joined in the last few years are rapidly catching up with us as they realise they have bought a basket case and that parts are getting difficult to find. Just be realistic about your goals. You'll need a fat stack of cash to buy an R34 GTR, and you'd be far better off using that to buy absolutely anything else (ie, shares, a house, scratchy tickets) unless that fat stack of cash is only ~10% of the actual fat stack of cash that you have. You'll never want to drive an R34 GTR on the street if you have fear of it getting destroyed. That's more or less true of the 33s and 32s also. Most of the RWD cars have been drifted backwards into power poles. No-one knows what they are worth these days because they are not changing hands. My car has notionally been down to <$10k value at some point and was probably sellable for $40-$50k in the height of COVID stupidity, but I have no idea what it's really worth now. It's irreplaceable anyway, because... where would I find one to replace it? Being realistic means either paying a lot of cash for a really really clean example that you will only drive on sunny Sundays, or buying one to daily that you will not want to be really really clean, for the same fears of destruction that applies to the GTR. I daily mine and some people think I'm crazy. But....to me it's just a car that I bought last century with the express purpose of driving it as my daily. The silliness that has happened since doesn't affect my original purpose. I have well and truly amortised the initial purchase cost and most (probably all) of the subsequent modification costs. But I don't think I could go out and buy one now to daily.

    • Hey everyone! I'm quite young and I don't have enough to get a car right now but I love Nissan Skylines (Specifically the r34 GT-R. I'm so original I know.) and I would love to buy one in the future. I have no background knowledge, only an interest in cars, but I'd love to learn how they work so I can mod in the future. I've done some basic research on what model of Skyline I would start with and what mods to get started with are but nothing else. I'm here to learn! Hope you all have a great day
