Can you put a R34 GTR instrument cluster into a R34 GTT?

Inparticular a NISMO 300km/h GTR cluster into a GTT?

Will it just plug in?

I'm not to sure about the GTR cluster, however you can get the R34 GTT Nismo 300km/h for the GTT straight swap.

I have this NISMO 300km/h cluster in my GTT

no it wont because the GTR has AWD sensors and everything which the GTT dosnt, it would be stupid to put one in wen you can get a 300km one that will work 100% for the gtt.

already aware of GTT NISMO cluster.

I like the look of the white faced GTR NISMO cluster better, hence my question is not stupid.

But thank you anyway R34NRG.

p.s. DOSKI your GTT is one of the better that i've seen, great job.

if you want white faces just take them out and custom job it.....my apologies if ive made it sound like your an idiot. you didnt mention anything of white faces in your original thread so i assumed u wanted it for the 300kms read out.

peace.....

I was hoping it would be easier and not have to resort to custom work. I should have known by now nothing is easy. Any ideas on how to custom job it. I probably should search the forum first, never mind.

Thanx R34NRG

p.s. why has the GTR dash need of connection to AWD sensor? couldn't these extra connections just not be connected and have all the appropriate dials connected? (this is just me still hoping for an easy option.)

Is there any laws or regs to consider when replacing the speedo? or is the speedo a separate part and the nismo meter just has a cut-out for it?

I've been wanting to get a nismo dash for some time, lights up very nicely too!

is the nismo meter directly plug to plug cvompatible with the GT-t?

Where are u located? U got nothing on your sig 
There’s a place in Carrington (Newcastle) that refurbishes speedometers/gauges.

They can also adjust the new odometer to the kms’ of the previous odometer and supply a certificate, also re calibrate the speedometer

In Sydney. I didn't want to update the cluster originally for that reason of, I had no idea where to find someone who does calibrate the km's, also it's expensive af lol. Just wanted to make my faceplate look a bit more modern.

Sorry to sound thick....but what does the "faceplate" have to do with adjusting the odometer? Surely the odo stays put and you change the fascia. Surely they are not the same thing.

Not with adjusting the odometer but the calibration of the cluster, because the dials are in different positions I believe? a 180kph cluster vs a 320kph cluster.

Hang on, You want to put a 320km/h faceplate on a 180km/h speedo? That's not how it's done. You get a 320 km/h speedo.

It's probably relatively simple for an instrumentation specialist to recal a properly electronic speedo like that, provided that there is a means provided to do so. For an older analogue/electronic speedo, the factory adjustment might be little more than a pot that allows a +/-10% tweak. A very modern digital unit might need access to the correct programming software, or simply be a dumb gauge and everything is done in the BCU. (That last won't be the case for an R34 though).

But as I said - no-one changes the face of the speedo then recals. You put in the whole speedo. In fact, generally you put in a whole dash.

I believe (this is a great silviaz thread where we must all interpret) that he is asking how to put a GTR cluster into the car.

But because the dials are reversed on the GTR (speedo and tacho are swapped positions) he's asking how to do it.

The answer is you buy a R34 GTT Nismo dash, which also has 320kmh on it, and will plug straight in. The longer answer is it IS possible to configure a GTR cluster to work in a GTT, so if you somehow got one of those cheaper than the Nismo GTT cluster, you could configure it to work.

Whether you have the time/skills to do it and whether it's worth the $ is another story. There's probably GTR to GTT cluster information out there. In threads like this one.

I assume also what is being asked is he doesnt want to change the whole cluster. Just the KMH dial itself and put it back together in another cluster, then recalibrate the speedo needle so it doesnt show 320kmh when the car is doing 180, and is asking how to calibrate that.

Which is doable with like a Dakota Digital speedo/signal interpreter box but jesus man just buy a cluster.

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
