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.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
