Installing Ecliptech Shift-i

[Doobs]

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 ?

[Doobs]

Yeah that's the back of the cluster.

The tacho signal is marked TAM.

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.

[Moodles2]

14.4volts while engine is running, or 12v when the engine is running?

14v when running. 11-12v when accessories on, engine not running.

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.

How did you go?

Is it all good?

Yeah. It works a treat. I can't remember the calibration setting. It was a while ago.

Hi Doobs... Tony from Ecliptech here

Would you mind if we put together a fitment guide for R33 GTR owners with your info/pics?

Will of course give full credit to yourself and include a link for SAU etc...

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...?

[Eclipze]

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).

Where would one buy these? Thanks.
