Ok, so my tacho and speedo are giving me the Sh#ts. Tacho is jumping all over the place then not working then ok. Had enough. The Nismo dash clusters on E-bay are going for $780-800 so can I put a GTR dash into a GTST ? They say in their advertising you can but excuse me for being sceptical. After all, E-bay wouldn't lie. Or should I just replace the tacho with a brand new stocker ? If the tacho and speedo are the same design perhaps I could just throw away the dash and just use the tacho & speedo as a simple replacement. Anybody done this ?

hey man i recently purchased a nismo 320km/h dash cluster and can confirm it works. all plugs are exactly the same and everything works as it should. check this one out. This is the same one I purchased. Cheapest you'll probably find: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JDM-Nissan-GTR-R33-BNR33-Nismo-320KM-11000RPM-Cluster-Gauge-GT-R-RB26DETT-/261176664139?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ccf57a04b

i have a GTR dash in mine, everything works but the oil pressure gauge seems to sit at the top so was wondering if that might be different... my brother has the 320km nismo unit in his and works perfectly,

its very worth it too, the gtst dash is a piece of shit!!

I know it's missing the window glass but I ordered it anyway. Hope I can get a replacement or my GTST glass fits. Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ravi, it's been posted so should be here soon. The one I have now has done 345,000k's, maybe that's why it,s playing up. As a side note, I was just discussing with a friend how in 12 years of ownership I have never blown a single bulb anywhere in the car, amazing. Let me know what you want for the GTR glass and I may buy it just in case.

Well, I can confirm the Nismo dash into GTST R33 absolutely works. Very happy. Time consuming putting it in but mostly because I cleaned and polished as I went. Only annoying thing is the numbers on the speedo are so small. I'll get used to it though. Something tells me I may never see the needle at full speed. And the glass from the GTST is the same as the GTR. For those who have done this before obviously you know it works, this is just to let others know, thanks.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • 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.
