why are you putting one in anyway?

stock one should work fine...

not to mention, id question the accuracy of it too...

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

yeah thanks for the help guys i have been searching the net trying to find a wiring diagram for it but so far no luck does anyone know where id be able to get one

thanks again for all the help

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

haha no need to be defensive, just curious

After all, you'll look like the douche bag, not me

to be honest i dont care because everyone has there own opinion and im not driving the car anyway all im doing is fixing it up and selling it anyway to make money to either be put into my 34 or into my house and if your not gonna be helpfull dont reply because i dont wanna hear all the crap bout being a douge bag for having a tacho or anything like that

i posted the topic to get help with things i dont know about not hearing your crap

any help appreciated guys.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
