Just installed the Ecliptech Shift-i sequential shift light.

Very easy install.

These are the wiring points i used on the back of the cluster.

Red= +12v Ignition

Black= Ground

Blue= Tacho signal

I used the wire clips that came with the light to splice into the

back of the cluster. The factory Tacho signal wire is Yellow with Blue tracer.

Green wire for 12v Ignition.

And the ground point as marked on the first image.

I tested it at this point by turning on ignition.

Then put dash back together.

Just used trusty old double sided tape to secure it.

Only needed to calibrate up one point and it's spot on.

Cheers

someone correct me if i'am wrong but the rpm signal coming from the ecu pin 7 (yellow with blue stripe) is only a 5-7v square wave and isnt enough to power my drift digital rpm gauge there is power feeding through it but when connected to pin 7 and once the car is started no rpm reading so i had to go out and purchase a bloody vdo signal amplifier so i can run my aftermarket digital tacho :thanks:

any enlightenment would be appreciated

I suggest emailing Tony (the maker of shift-i) and asking him.

The guys is one of the cleverest people I've ever come across.

He'll no doubt be able to answer your question.

ive bought this last year and am very happy with its performance. love how theres so many functions on just 2 buttons tho it was confusing at first and you'll lose your settings if you replace your battery. ive spliced my signal wire on my ecu's tacho signal wire

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      Blue slip

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
