Hi all,

I've been intending on purchasing an oil temp and voltage guage for my N/A R34.

I came across a genuine triple guage set from a R34 GTT on ebay for a bargain so i decided to purchase it.

Does anyone here know how to wire it up? especially the oil temp guage. I imagine the volt meter would just splice into the cigarette lighter wiring.

-> and for those wondering about the boost guage - I'll probably just leave it (not wire it up) or find a clock of the same size :blush:

Cheers

Oil temp you'll need to grab a sender unit off a GTT or a GTR and screw it into the side of where the filter goes..then wire to the gauge.

Grab a boost sensor of an R33/R33 and wire that to the boost sensor, at least it'll show vacuum.

Thanks for that. Would you happen to know the part numbers? and are these sensors easy to install - in terms of no drilling or needing to fabricate anything?

Yeah thats true. I just bought 3 cups, and 3 gauges which came with the car but were'nt installed.

Got DRC to install them for me. Just 100 bucks, i didnt mind because i didnt want the headache.

No idea on part numbers, just got to a wreckers....boost sensor is drivers side rear-corner on the engine bay behind the strut tower, the oil temp sensor is a small can looking thing with a wire going to it, joined to the alloy ring that the oil-filter screws into.

Should be zero drilling, just running wires

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
