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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
