Hi guys, been on the forum for quite some time but never really posted as i tend to be a bit more active on and English one... however i found this forum has loads of great technical info.

 

I finally had a weekend free to put a GTR M.F.D. into my R34 GTT

 

Overall went fairly well.... wondering if anyone else has done this before as I have 2 issues.

 

1. the cover that goes over the unit sticks up at the back (near the windscreen) and won't sit flush with the dash. Does it need to be modified to fit or am I missing something.

 

2. It doesn't seem to be picking up a reading from oil temp or water temp sensors. Anyone have any advice on why or how to fix. The oil temp reading is currently wired into what used to be the triple gauge meter for it and the water temp is wired off the back if the Speedo gauge (as per attached wiring diagram) but no readings from either.

 

I know a few people on here have done this mod so....

 

Any suggestions??

 

Thanks!!! IMG-20170531-WA0003.jpg

Good to see it worked I have also just finished putting one in my gtt and it looks nice..

About the cover not sitting flush with dash I personally think that it is supposed to be like that. If you follow the top side edge line of the cover you will find that it lines up with the dash.

I don't have a v-spec MFD so mine doesn't have intake gauges

I can help you get the mfd pick up intake and exhaust display. Since you don't have the sensors it won't display values but you will have 7 rows of display.

Yes that's pretty much what needs to be done .
I first connected the AMB to the intake sensor and ran the diagnostic mode it shows that it had the sensor registered but wouldn't show in the display. Then I connected the same AMB to exhaust temp and ran the diagnostic mode it registered the exhaust temp as well and then finally both the intake and exhaust temp display was showing. Hope that helps

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
