hey skyline lovers,

purchased a drift electronic rpm gauge just trying to find my tach signal i have flush mounted my gauge and now trying to find the tach signal from my coil ive unscrewed the allen key bolts on top of the head and am now stuck with the signal wire and finding my leading coil

can anyone please shed some light on this or will i have to wire it up to my ecu somehow

this is a head case and a half i really am starting to get pissed off haha,

tryed attaching my tach signal on my digital rpm gauge to the yellow wire with the blue stripe after i stripped it behind the dials, also tryed the yellow and the green striped wire and just connected the + and the - to a battery that i got lying around, started the car and no luck...

the guy at autobahn said i have to connect it to my leading coil im in a real pickle at the moment my whole dash is apart and from 7p.m-2a.m ive been trying to sort this motherf*%$#r out and it wont work... will i need to connect it closer to my ecu or have i got the wrong wires completely? :):)

Whats wrong with the awesome tacho next to the speedo that came form factory??? Get a shift light, preferrably one of the pencil types that don't stick out like dogs balls and then you'll be set...

hey,

the rpm gauge that i currently have is flush mounted in my old cluster it has a inbuilt shift light about the diameter of a pencil if not smaller i believe this one looks 10x better i was just wondering if anyone could help with the wiring and how to connect this electronic rpm gauge to which signal wire if not wires

cheers chris

had it connected to pin 7 (yellow with blue stripe wire) behind the cluster and temp to a + and - on a battery i got lying around and no rpm reading

will it have to be conencted closer to my ecu for a rpm reading?

thankyou for everyones time chris

found a interesting thread that makes me think i have the wrong signal wire could it be pin 7? which i allready have tryed behind the dash cluster or could it be pin 53 "which is the Vehicle Speed Sensor signal is basically engine rpm's"i have read to connect it closer to my ecu for a reading but i would have thought if i have the yellow and blue striped wire (pin 7) behind my cluster i should get a reading the gauge is electronic/digital if that makes a difference?

here is the thread anyways http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rp...ed#entry4042455

was reading over a thread a while ago and im not sure but dose anybody think i might have to attach a resistor and a tacho booster i have no signal from pin 7 which i connected behind the dash cluster which is the yellow with blue striped wire i will re-connect it tomorrow to pin 7 from my ecu

any ideas/thoughts much appreciated chris

its a multi cylinder gauge can be switched once the power is fed to it with a click of a button...

went out today and purchased a signal booster for my ecu for $160 as i was told that is my problem as the current coming from the ecu is only 5-7v and the tacho is 12v when i power it to a battery it lights up/illuminates but when the signal wire is connected to pin 7 no rpm reading once the car is running and the gauge is set for 6cl mode

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
