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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
