I've got one of those Autometer tachos with a shift light, the white faced one. Personally I wouldn't put it in my car, but it was given to me for free as it is faulty. I've tried to fix it but had no luck. Does it have a fuse or something I'm not aware of? Does it have a fuse to begin with? Someone told me they don't but I don't know what to believe.

Anyone had a similar problem?

yeah I got one of those Autometer air fuel ratio meters, when you hit the loud peddle the LED pulses up and down from red(lean) to orange(stoich) to green(rich). When I installed mine I was running 2-3 bars into the green and the red, after a tune-up it only went 1 bar into the red & green.

Its handy if your playing around with ignition timing too:)

I believe there is a demo of what it looks like in action on the US website

nah, i'll buy one down the track. i'm looking for the shift light atm. anything under $100 and i'm buying it. found one for $115 from rare spares. does rev racegear have an outlet in Sydney? or a web site i can buy from?

do you know if you can just hook them up to an aftermarket ECU? i'm getting mixed info on this one.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity.

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
