So who has a yashio factory water temp meter? Does it work on a ka? i searched and all i can find is where people ask the question but it never gets answered. What does the temp meter read from? Also does it plug in to the consult plug? i have read where some people say they can only get power from that plug and thats it.

Yeah as far as I know it works on any car
All it does is measure water temperature with the probe
So its not motor or car specific
If you're talking about the Okachan water temp gauge I had one of those
Wired it up like a normal gauge, had the probe in a upper radiator hose fitting

I have been told for some reasson on a ka it will not display all the other readings. But the same consult plug type will do it on a sr. Why is that?

it's 40 dollars, and it's good enough for nascar
chances are, it's good enough for you

nascar doesnt use those
they use the high end ones
which cost the same as defis and such

So I looked this up to what in hell you're talking about. If it plugs into and reads from the CONSULT, which it appears that it does, it will work on any 91-up Nissan, period. I don't know why you'd think it's engine specific when the CONSULT port is clearly a Nissan mandated port, but whatever. Plug it in and use it. Done.

Thanks russ. What i was asking about is rather it will read. rev's,speed and all the other things its suppouse to do. I read that for some reasson it will only read them on a sr only. i have no idea why.

that is the manuel on page 4 it tells you the diffent modes. thats what im asking. Why was i told it wont read all of them on a ka.

I think some one may have installed it to use as a tach or something on a ka and since they had no functioning tach already, they get no signal. Just a guess. If the ecu sees it then a functioning consult port should dispaly it. I tried to explain it but, whatever! I suck and it's 4:55am

Doesn't make a lot of sense, the CONSULT is three wires on all Nissan ECUs, they all transmit data, the unit will have to read any of them the same.
