But you can only have one or the other, the emanage communication or the sensor adapter I am fairly sure.

Just remember the Greddy sensors aren't cheap but they are accurate. I guess it's similar to buying a Defi set, just more compact.

So can the Informeter display boost via connecting to the Emanage?

if it can I'll get the Informeter...

I guess so, do you have the map sensor on the emu? I haven't used the communication cable for the informeter as it was connected to the Vmanage, perhaps that is why, not the external sensor harness.

Yeah I've got the MAP sensor running to the EMU...don't tell me because I'm using the MAP sensor I can't connect the informeter to the EMU...garrrrh...

Hang on - the Greddy boost sensor for the Informeter looks identical to the MAP sensor I'm using for EMU...

yay?

Duuuurrrr thaz cuz itz tha saim sensa

Lol we've had this conversation before Jethro hahaha

ironpaw.... the picture in the first link shows the ignition barrel on the left - when it should be on the right.... so im assuming the picture is upside down, making the gauges mount from underneath?

Have another look at the steering wheel surround on your car, the ignition barrel location is part of the instrument cluster surround. The only cut-outs on the column cover are for headlight and wiper stalks.

Which gauge did you get?

Don't tell me those fake Defi ones on ebay/forums for $60? hehe

Not a fake Defi, no.

It's called an Evo something or other... It's digital with a line of bars that go along the surround instead of a needle and digital numbers in the centre which make it pretty easy to read with a split second glance.

A bit flashy, but the price was right & I thought if give it a go.

hmm, looking at this pic:

It seems like its just the top part of the steering wheel surround?

Take a look at the 2nd pic below...see what I mean? Its just a replace panel really. Doesn't involve the dash or igni barrel at all.

Only issue is that its black...hmmm

Edited by ironpaw

haha...well if I can score a whole dash in black then I'll go black...

I don't want a beige dash with a single black panel...

or you can just paint it in a colour as close as possible to it.

Sounds like a proposition?

you want in dont you

That is the point I was trying to get across, solution could be as Aaron said paint it as close as you can or replace all trim around the binnacle to black to match.

Personally I would be looking at the painting solution as I don't think you want to replace the wheel as well.

I had found that gauge holder a while ago but at that time had no reason for the extra gauges, hence I did not purchase.

Ha, Greddy got back to me regarding getting the MAP reading/Values from the emanage:

"If you have electrical craftsmanship it can be done but for our liability purpose, you will need to run independent sensors to each unit."

Hmmmmm is it as simple as splicing the informeter harness into the existing MAP sensor? interesting..

Edited by ironpaw

No, the input resistance of the unit will affect the value seen making it inaccurate. Just buy the new sensor if you want an accurate gauge.

They are probably talking about making a circuit to feed a mirror signal.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
