Very construstive advice there Greg, just like the one I just saw in the spotted skyline thread...

Put a resistor in line with the bulb...

Run it in series... About 1 ohm should knock a bit of brightness out of it. Otherwise get a variable pot of lets say 1-5 ohms and then it will be adjustable...

Once again run it in series...

Cost you less than 20 cents for an inline resistor and about $2 for a variable pot...

Cheap as chips...

that's like a beacon out in the middle of the sea.

i dont think u needed to point an arrow to it, i reckon we would have found it anyways.

go the resistor. if it's still too bright, add another resistor, or one of higher value.

Here you go Sean...

Simple wiring diagram for ya... Just need to wiring it in series and your sorted...

Thanks col, only problem is I've mis-placed my manual for it and all the wires are in those wierd american colours, don't know which wire is the one that connected to the head lights. :(

1.) Check the power to the White (illumination) wire. This is your power input to the light and the amount of power will vary depending on how and where you have it hooked up. The lower the power, the dimmer the light and the higher the power, the brighter the light. A common range is from 6 to 14 volts.

2.) If your tach features LED lighting such as Cobalt, C2, or NV models, and you have confirmed power to the White (illumination) wire, please visit the Ask A Question or Contact Us pages to communicate with our Tech Department.

3.) If your tach uses a replaceable incandescent bulb (check your instructions), inspect the filament of the bulb and replace as necessary. Very few of our tachometers use an incandescent bulb that is not consumer replaceable. If you believe you have one of these units, please visit the Ask A Question or Contact Us pages to inquire about having the bulb replaced.

That Might help...

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
