Hey Guys,

I am after someone to wire up 3 gauges for my GTT (Boost, Oil/Water Temp), when it comes to anything Electrics related I am totally Lost.

I have physically fitted them to the gauge cluster just not sure about the rest !!

If you can let me know where a reasonable place is I can take it to get them wired up ?

Or

If anyone on here is good at doing this or you have already wired them up on your car I am happy to pay $150 to get them wired up !!

Thanks again

Paul.

I am located in near Homebush NSW but happy to travel within reason..

PM or 0408 546 665

what car are you wiring them to?

if its already a 34GTT the guages actually dont wire in per say as they are electrical gauges and not mechanical so they have a cable that plugs into a spot on the loom and into the back of the gauges and takes readings from the wiring headed to the ECU from the boost solenoid etc

I had to get a set of gauges and swap them out when i put the tripple gauge cluster into my 34 GT after teh conversion.

Yeah its for a GTT i got some 3 replacement aftermarket gauges with steppers in them, Hopefully meeting up with one of the guys here next weekend to get it fitted just need to go to just jap this weekend and pick up a few extra bits which I did not realise i needed as well..

Aftermarket Gauges are quite simply and should take you roughly an hour or two to do.. What kind of gauges are they water temp, oil temp and boost?

If the guy u have falls through I can do it for ya no sweat.

Might be different with r33's and r34's. But I took mine to a guy on these forums, we did it together and it was dead simple. As long as you find a hole in the fire wall it is easy, I used a sandwhich plate on my oil filter for oil temp, put a hose insert in the radiator hose, and for the boost i just tapped into a hose that runs up near the power steering colum. You need hot water plummers tape incase there are leaks, a "T" joint. I just asked Just Jap for all the bits I would need to get all the gages working properly. Simple and cheap and simple to do yourself if you understand what you need to do before you start.

I'd assume most of the R33 and R34 layout under the engine bay is pretty similar. I can take some pics and post them here tomorrow if it helps?

Otherwise check with an R34 owner to see if there is an easier way to do it as the R34's already have some gauges installed (i don't remember which ones they have)...

i have organised to go and see Norman (mr 32) next weekend hopefully if he is free and get them wired up then, after talking to him I got the sandwich plate for the oil temp sensor. Thanks again for all the help.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
