Does anyone know where you can get a shift light for the R33.

i dont want to buy another tacho, i just want a simple shift light that will go off at a level step by me. i know car quest have a pivot one, looks damn hot but its pretty darn expensive.

im a electronics engineer, i can make one, but when it comes to the part of mating it up to the ECU of the car, i would have no clue. so id just rather get a good one with instrustions.

anyone who anything?

if i get a good one i will try and copy it so i can produce some ones for cheep sale if anyone is interested?

Thanks guys

I have a Axas Combat Power Shift Indicator which cost me $100 second hand. It's a great little inditcator and you don't have to stuff around with connections to coils etc etc. Just hook it up to your cig lighter and it takes alternator pulses and interprets those. Very accurate and easier to install than others I've seen.

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
