dyefuker Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308804-drift-brand-tachos/#findComment-5096611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JezR31 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308804-drift-brand-tachos/#findComment-5096997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

r34 gt25 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/308804-drift-brand-tachos/#findComment-5097618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
