R34 GTR no intake temp. sensor?

So I've got a 2001 r34 GTR (series 2) non v-spec, I'm well aware that they come with no intake temp. sensor or exhaust temp. sensor fitted to the car. However I have read that many people have just fitted those sensors to their non v-specs and got them to work on the MFD. Here comes my problem:

There is no connector to plug into the intake temp. sensor? Can anyone confirm whether they got rid of the connector on the series 2 models? I thought I just couldn't find it but while I was installing my new NISMO intercooler (which came with a new sensor) there was nowhere for it to plug in to. The connector for the EGT is just tied up out of the way and is easy to find but I could not see anything for the intake temp, even with the intercooler off. 

It's so hard to find information on this topic as it seems everyone has a series 1 GTR

On series 1 cars, intake temp plug is part of the loom that also contains the horn and canister connector, it's normally tucked under the radiator support. Have a look under there, if not there then possibly series 2 loom is different to series 1.

To add some info to this thread, there is no connector on series 2 non vspec GTRs.

Although the wiring for the exhaust temp sensor and the bung is available to add the exhaust sensor, they've decided to remove the intake side all together.

It is possible to add it though, if anyone can confirm what colour wires are on the factory intake temp sensor circled in red, that will a good start.

The wiring diagram shows where that circuit is connected to the main loom which presumably does have the temp sensor wires.

If anyone is bored and have a multi meter, a pin out of which pins on the connector are for that sensor would be even better.

I think us series 2 owners are out of luck :( I've heard the plug is only there on some series 1 cars and it was removed from the series 2 cars. I never managed to find the plug on my car

Hey! didnt seen you quoted me until now, im sorry!

Bought a Nismo MFD and got an R34 S2 same as you without the iat plug, but i sourced the MFD pinout so you can test the wiring with a multimeter trying to found the wires for the iat and also you can wire it up all the way to the mfd

Attached the MFD pinout

Hope it can be useful, sourced from R34GTR MFD Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/r34mfd

To the OP @oskiand want to give thanks for the help provided from @Purpleline from the Hong Kong Skyline club, aka R34 MFD in Facebook

I want to share the solution i did to the problem of R34 late model iat temp sensor connector for the MFD not being in place, its true

As some of you people know R34 GTR late model standard version does not come with the IAT and EGT sensors for the MFD, however there is the connector to install the EGT sensor on the harness but NOT the same with the IAT sensor, there aren't a connector for the IAT sensor in place to install the sensor, Nissan for some reason removed it from the harness on the late model standard R34 GTR.

Okay so already did some memory, lets try to explain what i found and what i did to solve the issue when i was working on installing an IAT for my MFD on my R34 GTR standard late model:

- First of all i removed the MFD and with a multimeter tried to follow the wire from pin 46 (IAT sensor) on the brown plug of the MFD, started on this because the wire its there so in some place the wire its being cutted or sealed

Firstly i thought that the wires for the IAT sensor will be sealed on the front harness near the radiator with the AC condenser plugs, so i start stripping the whole front harness with no luck, checked all the wires there and none was the pin 46 IAT and there weren't a sealed wire, sorry for the bad pic its a video screenshot but you get the idea

Okay so next step was to remove the cluster to check if the wire cuts on the mfd subharness on the rear of the cluster

Unfortunately with no luck as the wire 46 follow his way through the plug on the rear of the cluster, so next step was to strip the bottom fuse box on the right feet to check there for the wire and BINGO! i found the wire 46 on the big white plugs on the right feet near the gas pedal, the wire 46 does arrive there but cuts his way there doesn't follow his way through the harness to the sensor, i called it "cut point"

Marked in blue you can see the pin where the wire 46 does arrive, checked with the multimeter and there is continuity through the brown mfd plug to this point

As you can see, not the same on the other side of the plug, marked with the green circle you can see there aren't a pin in place and of course either a wire, so here you see, the "cut point" of the signal from pin 46 IAT sensor

What i did is very laborious but simple, took out the front right fender, took out the harness through the hole and stripped the whole harness until the sensor, put a pin in place of the big white plug with a wire attached and join it with the existing wires on the whole harness, very much electrical tape work but if you got some patience its not that hard just time consuming

Again sorry for the pics, there are screenshots from my Instagram, if someone wants to follow me on IG search for @Juanlu_spec on Instagram

With the whole harness already retaped, new wire covers and new clips, it looks like OEM! as how it should look from factory, too bad for Nissan that did that on the standard late model

The wire with the red colour and white stripe i used is the signal from MFD, the black with yellow stripe just join it with ground, also i used an OEM Nissan female plug that match the male plug on the sensor, and fabricated a support for the plug with the oem clip

Im sorry for my english it could not be perfect as im Spanish, i hope it could be of help for somebody with the same problem for it i thought to write and pic this reply

Cheers!

      And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!

      And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.

      Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
