i've just had a monster tacho with shift light installed in my 33 and the revs on the monster are about 100-200 below that of the standard tacho...

is this because the standard one is wrong, the monster is wrong or because one of the wires is too long or somethin, because i thought that the exact same signal would b sent from both tachos so i dont know why/how they can b different

and i did snip the brown wire, or which ever one it says to for a 6 cyclinder...

any help????

Does it have any sort of calibration adjustment?

Did you try reading the instruction manual?

(oh wait, what am I saying.. guys don't read instructions:p )

I am not sure if it has some calibration adjustment... I have no instruction manual casue it came with the car...

interesting, about 8 replies and no one has a useful fkn thing to say :lol:

i got the tacho cos i wanted it, u got a problem with that..deal with it! i read the manual, calibration involves cuttin 1 wire to suit a 6 cylinder, and its done right cos it would b way off if done wrong, not 100-200rpm....any more brilliant comments/questions?

hehehehe jet!

my s-afc is a few rpm off from my tach also, the safc gets the signal from the ecu and is digital, so i am assuming its more accurate than the tach

hahahahaha, i've only ever seen a few serious replies from you fatz, altho you could have done more in maintenance, or performance, but i don't look there much.

not having a go at ya, just it's funny to read most of them! :D

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
