Quick Update on the GTR Gauges using the G37/370z Nav Unit: MotorvateDIY Garage Ep.48
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here is a quick update on the GTR MFD guages on the G37 and 370z navigation units.
We now have full control of the gauges and can send the exact data for each gauge!
The prototype "GTR MFD Converter" board is assembled, wired and programmed!
The first program simply provides the required CAN bus data to make the gauges count up, and then repeat over and over.
This is to verify that the reverse engineering of the gauges is correct... and I'm happy to report it is!!
The next step is to receive live CAN bus data from my G37, do the required conversions and send them to the GTR Multi-function Display (aka gauges)
Stay tuned for the next update... I hope to be driving my car with fully functional GTR gauges!

It has been very interesting and I think I'm close to getting the first prototype up and running in the next few days. Wish me luck!
As a 370z owner, that's so interesting!

Thanks! Where possible, I really like to try to provide unique G37/370 content. However, it is not easy when you are just one guy trying to compete against the world.... so some updates do take some time :)
Nice Job ! Thanks for your hard working ! 👍 I'm follow this project for a long time 🙂 Good " luck " for the the future 👌

No problem! It has been a lot of fun working on this.
I'm super impressed by your efforts. Had to part with my 2010 KH3 Black Sedan with 140K miles that I poured so much care and love into. No place to keep around unfortunately. $800 in gas a month commuting 70 miles each way for work each day 141 total wasn't working out after moving from San Diego to Nevada for work. I love your videos and just makes me miss my baby with Stillen Exhaust and Hotchkis Sways. Please take good care of yours Sir. 👍

Thanks for your kind words! Yes, the G37 is not the best on fuel. Maybe the next big project should be an electric G37?? I could call it the "GE37"... short for the General Electric 37!

I agree... I think you will like the next update video. Hint: The testing has gone very well!
I know this video is kind of older, but I have a quick question. I have an 09 370z and was curious if you could manipulate the canbus in order to remove certain components. I swapped the engine out and can't remove the factory ecu and gauge cluster because it messes with the start function. Could I "trick" the BCM into thinking those components are still there by sending a signal from the Arduno?

I'm not sure... When you do an engine swap and want to integrate the new engine's ECU/PCM with the existing vehicle CAN bus network, it can require many, many hours or work to understand what each module needs and then provide/convert the needed data.
I would like to know where to get everything for that update. I am from Cancun, Mexico.

Testing on my 2011 G37 Sport Sedan has worked perfectly!! The next step is to test on local (Toronto) G37 and 370s to make sure it works as expected. That should start next week.
subscribed! count me in as I have a G37 as well!

I’m very very impressed. I noticed your display has navigation. Is this possible for the non nave models?

Thanks for your kind words! The process has been a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it uses the software/hardware of the 2010+ navigation units, so it is required. :(

Does it need to have the Nav system for this to work? What about a no nav

How is the 08 testing going?

For the "GTR gauges" to work, it requires the 2010+ navigation unit. I hope I didn't get mixed up and give you a different answer before. In a few weeks, I will be recording the CAN bus of a 09 G37 Coupe, to see if it has the needed data. I know a few folks who have updated their 07-09 navigation systems to 2010 or newer, and they want t to know if this will work.
