its not going in my skyline its for my partners car its a holden astra and there is no tacho in it

sorry to ask guys but does anyone know how to find the ill and rpm wires cos i have no idea

the ilum pick up will be easy, use the cigaret lighters light ring, or the dash clusters lights ppower, basicly anything that lights up on your dash when u turn your head lights on, use that,

as for your rpm feed as it dosnt have a tach as standard you should be able to pick it up from the ecu wireing loom somewhere, but you will have to look it up and find out what exact wire,

maby search the net for the wireing diagram, or register on a slivia form

hope this helps

Get yourself a multimeter, test wires when ignition is off, then turn your parkers on and see what wire gets 12v, that's your illumination. The other will be your rpm

may i ask why you're putting a tacho in this car?

is it because it has a ca engine?

no its not because it has a ca y would that be the reason seriously i wanna put it in because its mounted in the car doing nothing and the car does not have a tacho as standard so y not just wire it up but anyway thanks to the guys the has been helpfully and not the people that have a winge bout it.

so with the rpm wire will that get 12v as well
