R34 Centre Gauge Cluster

[CurtR34]

Hey I'm new to te forum and I've just bought a n/a r34 and in the middle of the dash there is just like a storage thing there. Now I've done some research about sometimes there is a pop up tv or gauges or something like that there. Mine has nothing exept some cabling which makes me think that maybe there was something there before I would really like anyone's advice on where or how I can get some gauges that fit right in there or if anyone is selling. There are a few turbo ones but I don't want a boost gauge when I dont have a turbo. So something like volts. Oil press, and water temp.

Thanks.

your best bet is to go down to your local wreckers and pick up a second hand triple gauge cluster or alternativly you can buy a carbon one on ebay. then just remove the old gauges ( its all one piece) buy the 3 gauges you want to put in ( i think its 52mm off the top of my head) and wire them all up thats the basic explanation for you. if you need anymore help just ask.

There wouldn't have been anything there before, GT's and GTT's just share the same dash so it's all there if you do want to install the holder. I did it in mine, very easy. There's a how-to thread on here somewhere with pictures showing you where to cut the dash.

You can get factory volts and oil temp gauge from the GTT

Just add aftermarket oil pressure gauge if you want

alternativly you can buy a carbon one on ebay.

do u mean there are carbon fibre ones cause i couldnt find any other ones other then standard gtt ones. or do you have any links to ones like it anywhere?

There are carbon ones on eBay every so while, but apparently the quality is horrendous and they don't fit very well.

if its just for looks get a GTT one might need to wait but they occasionally pop-up on ebay or the forsale section. Might end up costing a bit. If your not in it for the looks then i suggest google ECUtalk they have the small LCD's about $250 which will give you live reading on pretty much all your main sensors, ECUtalk consult cable for $80 just plug in laptop and away you go. Cheapest option would be an Ebay consult cable from china, does the job.

Apparently you have to cut the centre console perfectly in order to fit the gauges.
