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 ?

I wired my Shift-I at my ECU loom, tacho, ignition switch (so I could use it's voltage indicator feature).

voltage still works this way.

it runs off 12v ignition signal.

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).

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
