R34 Triple Guage Subharness

[Wacky Dee]

I recently converted my TV/Satnav (factory Xanavi setup) to the standard R34 triple guage set up .. I still have the subharness from the old satnav setup in there and was wondering if there is an adapter/converter of any sort that can turn that subharness into the one that connects to the triple guages ?? Cheers

My advice - rip out the Nissan gauges and run some Autometer or other gauges in their place. I got some AutoGauge ones for about $35 each. Ripped off the faces on them and used the original perspex and cups from the factory gauges. Works a treat and much better than the stock nissan ones.

where'd you get them for $35 each ?? The cheapest I could find was $200 for a set of 3 from justjap..

The thing with aftermarket ones is that each guage requires extra wiring and parts to be connected which could end up costing me another $300-500 in parts and labour

LOL waht? depending on gauges, is what needs to be run.. but the gauges should come with everything you need..

Throw some Defis in there, I did,

They fit with hardly any work, just remove the back of the stock gauge holders and wedge the 60mm defis in and then make a support bracket to keep them there and wire them and you're good to go. I ain't know electrician but I have some electronic knowledge and I can read diagrams well, it wasn't too bad.

presuming the Xanavi harness can double up for anything else is just - how can I say it politely - optimistic - now thats being really polite!

so my best advice is that in this time of economic downturn why not do the Kevin Rudd thing and spend some money - on a sparkie - and get the job done right

the triple gauge set up is not the only way to go and if you want different read-outs apart from what is already on the main cluster why not fuel pressure and vacuum gauges for example - not just repeats of oil pressure etc - in my R34 S1 manual Coupe I have Blitz gauges on the A pillar as well as the pop-up Xanavi unit still in its original place ........................
