hi,

just finished putting my car back toghether over the w,e i had the 4wd fuse pulled before hand, so once car was running i re installed fuse, but the 4wd light hasnt gone off, nor is the torque gauge working? but its defently back to 4wd, help? lol

also now aswell my temp gauge is fine until i put the clutch in and release handbrake then it goes of the scale, but seems to go up and down with accelerator, and bumps in the road, ive got absoluley no idea whats going on.

any help would be appreciated.

Mate - I've read about 5 posts of yours so far.

Did you even check this GTR out before buying it ?

If you knew it had issues and you don't know what your doing then take it into a trustworthy shop.

or USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION !!

--------------------------------------

1. Make certain all your earthing is good first

2. Grab another cluster and put it in.

3. Did you do any wiring - how does the clutch make the temp gage go off the dial.

geee cheers, YES i had the god damn car at a trustworthy highly known sydney shop, but i cant justify $150 an hour for labour, and prefer to do things myself if possible.

sorry if my car and posts bother you, but i thought this is a forum? and you ask questions on here. ffs!

There's 2 fuses for 4wd (in cabin and under bonnet).

Leave the car off when checking and re-installing the fuse/s.

Pull the cluster out and make sure the three plugs are well connected when you put it back in.

On the film there is wiring that leads into where the plugs are inserted. Check they are pushed out so that when the plugs go in they make good connection

Underneath your centre console is the G'' sensor. Make sure it is not - red - in the glass area on the side.

Make certain plugs are connected in tightly.

Again make certain all earths are clean and connected.

Temp sensor and clutch does not make sense. Maybe loose wiring when clutch engaged.

After all that if you still have problems look for a 2nd hand cluster

I'm thinking its a pinched wire in main harness behind engine that maybe contacts metal somewhere depending on movement of engine, if it were me id pull that wire out back to firewall and run new one to temp sensor or at least check it with multi meter or grab wires and wiggle them with ignition on and someone watching gauge should be able to find it pretty easy as clearly the clutch has no real effect on engine temp failing that it must be cluster

like sinista32 said check your G sensor I'd also go to the trouble of cleaning all your electrical connectors check earthing etc. My 32 temp gauge would go up and down over large bumps got it checked over and tested seemed to be ok. Let us know how you go trying to sort it out

well thanks guys for the usefull info it helps, im in the process of going over just about every wire and harness throughout the car.

ive found dodgey connections on the temp sender wires so maybe thats all it its, but me being abit of a perfectionist, im going over everyting, soldiering connections where i can re wrapping wires in heatshrink etc,

yeah i dont understand the whole clutch making the guage move but strange things happen i supoose.

g sensor isnt red which is a positive,

quick question, the 2 wires going to the temp sensor, yellow with a green line, and a black wire, they both have silver dots every 50mm along the wires, do i need to find the same wires to replace the ends? need to cut off damaged bits and join on some new stuff or it will be to short, will any old wire the same colour and size work? just the silver dots are throwing me off abit.

and to make things worse the under dash area and behind centre intrument console, are an absolute birds nest, so many dodgey joins in wires,cut and tucks every where, i found an old nokia box thing with like phone cord plugs plugged in,another alpine box ipod connector adapter with similar plugs, geeeeeesssuuuuuuuss. an auto electrician would loose there mind if they seen the wiring mess i have, ohh well lucky i love my gtr. :yes:

hehehe

Can't help you with the wiring and what to use to replace it :( - but I'm sure someone on here can.

When I had the dash replaced in my GTR the shop removed a good size box of extra wiring and gizmo's ^ no longer in use

Like you have found all sorts of gear had been installed/removed and/or just left laying around back there.

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
