Hey all, just bought a brand new Defi BD Oil Temp gauge to go in my dual gauge pillar mount alongside my existing BF Boost gauge.

I went to daisy chain the oil temp to the boost gauge so that I could have both set both gauges fully done inside the car at least, as the sensor & sandwich plate are getting installed next week.

In looking at the back of my boost gauge and the new oil temp gauge I notice the connectors are different. So the little daisy connector that came with the oil temp gauge doesn't fit in the back of my boost gauge.

To try and get around this, since they're all 4 pins anyway, I removed the different white plastic connector on my old gauge and connected the daisy wire to the pins directly, but when I turn the accessories on, the oil temp gauge does nothing, and the boost gauge goes through its "error" sequence.

Are there different series of BF gauge? If so, can my older one work with this new gauge somehow?

Yeah but he's right.

There's the Defi link BF gauges and the Defi Link II controller (which I have).

Then there's the Defi Advance BF gauges and the Defi Advance Control Unit (which I bought my new gauge for).

Now I'm gonna have to sell my old Link II controller and boost gauge.

Rookie mistake.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
