R34 gtt triple meter

[Jasper34gtt]

Hi all. I have a R34 gtt with non working oem triple gauges. I found the white connector connected to the triple gauge, but it only has 2 wires attached to it. (+ and gnd, so alternator gauge works)

I think some previous owner added it to the wireloom

Does anyone recognize the Grey connector? It's laying underneath the gauges, not connected. Does it maybe hold the wires to cut and connect for oil temp and turbo pressure gauge?

 

I know what pins the wires have to go to on the white connector, but I don't know which wires to use from the Grey one. 

Thank you!

The wiring diagram is a thing.

I only found the wiring diagram for the white plug, as I know it's for the triple gauge. 

I don't know what the Grey connector is for... So kind of hard to search. That's why I asked I anyone knows what that plug is for

[GTSBoy]

Hmm. I had a look through the entire manual and could not see a representation of that plug either. I'd suggest you're down to following the wires.

Would it work if I just put an extra wire on the sensor, and fit it onto pin 17 on the gauge connector directly?

Why not put the effort in to do it properly?

+1. Just run aftermarket gauges to the same location. Pretty much everyone else does/will.

The oem oil temp gauge doesn't work well? (I'm new to skylines)

The oil temp is really the only one that does work well, but others work better, can have clearer/more resolution.. The boost gauge isn't really up to the task, and battery voltage is... probably not worth having a slot.

My car is N/A now (v8 life) and I have water temp, oil temp, and an AFR gauge there.

When it was turbo, I had Oil temp, boost, water temp. Back when it was Auto and Turbo I had 6 gauges, the 3 up top as well as AFR, Oil temp, and Transmission oil temp. Yes 3x oil temp sensors ?

But the main one is it will be easier to install aftermarket ones.

I have an R32, so no triple gauge to start with. But in that location I have EGT pre-turbo, boost and oil temp. I consider those to be a sensible selection that will tell me most of what's going on. Could obviously add several others, but wouldn't want to make the car look F&F.

Now I have an ODB2 engine, I have a double din full android head unit, so I can run torque and show any gauges I want! ?

To the OP though, the point I was trying to make that in the future, they too will probably want different gauges/change the gauges there... so don't waste too much time getting the stock gauges working when most replace them anyway. Skip the middle man.

Ok thanks
