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

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?

      I was immediately reminded that your location is QLD. Sounds like a perfect SEQ business idea.

      And if you can't drive bigger injectors with peak and hold as low impedance injectors during low pulse width, it's even harder to get a nice clean known amount of fuel.

      From watching the 6 hour, it seems they've really got the class A2 Ford Mustang sorted, as it was cutting it up in lap times with he X1 cars, which are all those late model turbo BMWs. I have no real idea about either of them, but watching what was happening at the 6Hour, it made the Mustang which is meant to be in a slower class look very impressive.

      Also Mark, perfect timing for you to offer Fab9 to open an Aus branch for them, where you'll setup all the contracts that basically you're just the paperman, everything goes through Aus for their gear, and you can buy a piece of paper off of them once every 3 months that's really expensive. Tariffs aren't paid on exports after all. And for it, you'll just take 10% cut for your name on the papers. Oh, and a free NC intake setup and air box...
