Just a quick guide on how to install one of these.

These are the terminals for the wires I spliced into.

I just used the wire clips that came with the light.

The Green factory wire was 12v Ignition.

The Yellow with Blue tracer is Tacho signal.

Tested all ok before putting dash back together.

Mounted using 'Old Faithful' double sided tape.

Only needed to be calibrated up one point.

Works a treat.

Hi Simon,

Nice review ! I'm glad you found the installation so easy and simple. Thanks for taking the time to write a review like this.

Is that photo of the back of your instrument cluster on your dash ?

What value did you use as rpm calibration? I think I had to use 4 solid lights (or was it 4 blinking lights)

I thought the calibration was ok, but i drove it to work today

and it seems a bit off.

I'll recalibrate it on my next day off and see how it goes.

Yeah that's the back of the cluster.

The tacho signal is marked TAM.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to hook up my Shift Light in my R33 GTS-T... There is four wires for the it RED +, BLACK -, GREEN (RPM), YELLOW (Light)

I'm all good with the RED and YELLOW but i just need to know if I use the TAM screw on the back of the cluster with the GREEN wire and the BLACK to the ground screw will that work...?

Has anyone done it...?

ShnaneosR33... which shift light is this you are trying to hookup?

I would have expected the black, red and green all you would need. Unsure what the yellow (light) is for. Check the instructions for what it does. Perhaps it's for the lighting circuit, so it dims at night when your headlights are on (given that shift light doesn't have a light sensor to do it automatically).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      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.
