R34 GTR MFD - some help from owners out there! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hi guys

Ive got a bit of a project coming along, and ive searched for weeks / months looking for info on this topic.
I am currently in the middle of sourcing VERY cheap lcd replacment screens for the R34 MFD (by cheap, i mean like AU$80.00!) I already have one here for testing for compatibility, but i've hit a snag.
It seems as if Nissan couldnt get enough of the same LCD panels for the run of the R34 so over the 4 or so years they made them, they seemed to go through some different manufacturers of LCD, including Sharp, Toshiba, Etc.

What I need from as many people as possible is
1.) The brand/model, if known, of the LCD unit you have,
2.) Which connector on the curcuit board it plugs into - the flat ribbon cable from the LCD board, (either Conn7, Conn11, or Conn14),
3.) The year of your R34 (the actual build year & month)

I am putting together some documentation which will outline EVERYTHING about these units (from pin-outs, RGB inputs / outputs, and how to cheaply make a new MFD for those who dont have one already (with just the 2 control boards and one of my cheap LCD's ))

Any pictures you might have will be of great use.
Thanks guys.

I would be interested in that.
Will have a look at getting the details you require for my car in the next week or so.

soemone in JP already worked this out the MON is fm Sharp

yeah from what ive been finding out, the early r34 gtr's used a sharp lcd and the later models used a toshiba lcd screen.
thats why im interested in the wiring characteristics of both. does the toshiba have 2 looms (flat ribbon cables) to the lcd? whereas the sharp only has 1 30pin cable.
can anyone confirm?
thanks

This is nothing directly related to this Thread but something rare to see.

Looks nice, except that open glove!

GLOBAL AUTO JP · 20th September 2008, 05:51 PM

glove can be regularly closed, just pictures were taken like that.
This R32 was loaded with R34 parts (engine, turbine, brakes, MFD, etc)
But engine number was drilled out so I assume everything was from a stolen R34 GT-R
