it should be 12v. But if you won't don't connect pin 3 and see if it boots. If not then connect it.

The accessory just turns the GTR badge on the screen, then full boot when ignition. but i am sure you need it to work.

Let me know hey.

Okay I think I have found the problem, seems like removing the cracked laminate from the front of the screen made the screen show totally white. I have ordered a polarized laminate film to replaced the cracked film I had before hopefully it helps the visibility problem I am having. I found a similar problem on gtr.co.uk,

One question I have I am seeing the diagnostic mode sequence on the manual and it shows all 15 sensors that can be monitored, I would really like the oil pressure signal. Has this ever been done or is it on certain model MFDs that this can be accessed? I have a V-Spec MFD BTW and here is the pic in question.

I've just been installing the MFD as of last night - and have a bit of a question:

So far I've only installed the power/acc/ign, 3 gauge cluster wires (illumination/oil temperature/boost) & dash wires (water/oil pressure) - next up is the wires from the ECU (speed, injector duty, revs, throttle position) -- but on doing a test power-up to make sure everything is fine, only water temp seems to be showing up. I've tried running the diags to test sensors, and even then whilst it seems to detect sensors, nothing is really coming up besides water temp - boost just sits at 0. I've checked, double-checked, and triple checked the conncetions. Does anyone know if this is normal?

I'm wondering if maybe it's needing the inj/speed/throttle sensors from the ECU before it'll initialise the other sensors properly? I'm hoping that's the case anyway. Ah well, I guess I'll put in the remainder of the ECU wiring and see what happens. Otherwise, I'll be trying to track down whether it's a grounding problem or something else weird.

Fingers crossed this unit isnt a dud (it came from a working car) - I can't imagine how much it would cost to repair :P

Well - that solves that - and is a warning / informational thing for anyone else wiring one of these up - your sensors, etc won't display properly until the ECU sensors are all hooked up too (injector/throttle/speed/rpm).

MFD is now working beautifully :(

If you follow the wiring diagram that Purpleline made. The one i put the link to then your oil pressure sensor will be detected. But the only way to have it on the display is to buy the Nismo upgrade at about $900 to $1400 and this will then give you upgraded Boost to 2BAR and replace throttle position with Oil pressure.

Also adds the G meter lap time and data logger etc. (these only work in GTR)

Check it out here.

Does anyone have the wiring for the Intake and EXT sensors for the MFD. I have the Intake sensor and the EXT on order and as I have the Vspec model I have access to them. Just need to have both wired to have them functionable on the MFD unit. Thanks and also got my MFD working proper so weekend it is going in and also going to have the wires for the EXT and Intake run as well.

Why do you say it will only work in a GTR?

The lap timer is only a switch button to add, data logger comes with the kit.

The thing I would like to know is the G meter working in a GTT with the nismo kit?

Anyway thanks for the post it helped me when I was stuck with the yellow error message (it was because I haven't wired the ACC +. The screen displays exactly the same message when the ignition is not on and when you press a button)

it wasnt easy, we were a bit confused when we 1st wired it up and got this error message.

we still dont know wat it means but we gave every input a extra shove

and...... it worked =D

A question for those who have done it - how has anyone hooked up the GTR intake sensor on the GTR?

It doesn't use a bung as in the exhaust temperature sensor, it screws in - which leaves me wondering how you would mount this up, and especially in such a way that it seals it up against pressure leaks, etc.

Very interested to hear back from those who have done it ....

MFD is now working beautifully :)

Lol I just freaked out tonight, thinking my MFD unit is stuffed, when my boost stays at 0, but it made me feel better after reading what you said, so now I'll wire up the ECU tomorrow and see how that goes :)

Hey guys, I've just hooked up my MFD, but I have a question, how come it only picked up the first 4 sensors? Boost, throttle, oil temp and water temp? It doesn't say it picked up the other sensors, but I know my rev light works. Because isn't there like 15 sensors all up? Including some GTR ones (I know I won't get int and ext temp), but others. Cheers!

Alright, finally done.

It took me a couple of days per my battery dying and a couple blown fuses. I received a lot of help from a dude named Dan on GTROC:

and a dude named Bala from Malaysia:

I didn't want the whole install to be very messy so I bought some items from a local electronics store and a Radio Shack.

I don't have a picture of the functioning MFD but you get the idea. I tapped into the wires that the MFD needed to function properly and labelled them as well.

A few sensors still aren't working. For example, my MFD isn't reading INJECTOR but my Apex AVC-R is. Ironically, they're both plugged into the SAME ECU wire. I'll assess that some other weekend.

What sort of a stupid comment is that :rolleyes:

I know for my own MFD install it was a case of either:

i) find an electronic device that displayed multiple gauges. A few options here none of them particularly cheap. Still left with triple gauge cluster - what's the point?

ii) Replace triple gauges, install additional gauges to try and get a good idea of what's going on

iii) Simply just install an MFD - a device which hooks up perfectly, doesnt cost the earth, isn't defectable and displays multiple gauges without any dramas.

Seems like a pretty obvious choice to me. Feel free to explain why you feel so strongly about this view.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
