Hi All,

I've done a bit of google farming without allot of success, so thought I would throw it to the general forum populous.

I have a R34 GTR V-Spec II. As you're aware, the V-Spec offers a couple of extra features including 2 x extra sensors and the MFD upgraded to utilise these sensors. Namely, they are the Exhaust temp gauge and Intercooler gauge.

My situation is that really I have two problems. The first problem (and if anyone can help with this, great! but it's not the main topic for discussion) is that my boost gauge is registering at 0 at all times, and does not pick up any boost. I had a friend advise me that the MFD needs recalibration, so off I went down the path of recalibrating based on Nissan instructions. The recalibration worked just fine, but it didn't fix anything - and to make matters worse, when I powered the car on after the recalibration I had lost my 2 sensors.

So it would appear that the MFD has reset to a non-V-Spec configuration, and has removed my Exhaust and Intercooler temperature gauges.

Can anyone advise on how to get them back?

As a secondary, does anyone have advice on the boost gauge problem?

I've had the car for nearly 4 months now without fault, so this is the first (and hopefully last???) for a long while I hope. Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers

its because you ran a diagnostics on the MFD when there was no reading input for exhaust/inlet temp.

drive the car around to get your exhaust temp and your inlet temp up. then run a diagnostics.

it should look like this

if you dont no how to run diagnostics here it is.

Diagnostic mode

1) Turn the key to the "OFF" position

2) Push and hold the joystick

3) Turn the key to the "ON" position while still holding down the joystick

4) Release the joystick at least 1 second after the "GT-R logo" appears.

5) Click the joystick 5 times within the next 3 seconds.

This will show which sensors are functioning and have readings.

Hey mate - spot on, worked a treat.

Thanks for the great advice!

Any guidance on the boost gauge issue constantly showing neutral pressure?

Thanks

do you have any other boost readings in the car apart from the MFD?

if you do, are they all working? or is the MFD the only one with the issue.

unfortunately the MFD is the only boost gauge that i have in the car... so no definitive answer there :P

thats a bummer, are you running a boost controller!??!?!

all i can say is check your boost sensor in the engine bay. and make sure there are no leaks or anything.

have any tips on where the boost sensor is? the car still boosts fine, it's just the gauge.

if you can give me a hand with letting me know where the things are, i'll get it checked out..

usually on the firewall, up in the corner on the drivers side. little black plastic box about the size of a matchbook. it will have a little rubber vacuum hose running to it, 1 set of wires running out too.

Hi all,

Have a similar problem but not with the boost mines with front torque to be honest i think there are one or two that don't show any reading at all i have gone into the diognostic mode and front torque still lights up green so i have no idea why its not working its actually scaring me maybe my alttessa is not working???? (this is my first GTR had an EVO7 before) oh yeah my car is a R34 gtr Vspec

Sorry for hijacking but thought its relevant.

    • 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. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
