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).

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
