for days on end i have been trying to connect a (DC12v) drift iridium series rpm tacho.. after hours of reading and useless help i have come across a thread from years ago

just to give everyone a rundown on this tryed connecting my electronic rpm gauge to pin 7 my rpm signal wire behind my dash cluster and the + and - to a battery started the car and no rpm reading... will i need a tach booster for my gauge as i have read, along with a resistor to make up a new circuit or should my gauge be working i currently have power to my gauge but no rpm reading

can anyone kindly shed some light on this i removed the previous tach and flush mounted the new one because the old one looks like shit! i also dont need anyone saying "why did u buy a monster tacho what is wrong with your old one" i'm happy with what i got and some helpful answers will be appreciated ALOT! :D

so when it said this at the top of the tutorials and DIYs what did you think it meant?

"Tutorials / DIY / FAQ Rules

Welcome to the Tutorials / DIY / FAQ Forum! This section of SAU is where we move the helpful threads that we find in other forums. This is *NOT* the place to ask questions or to try and get help. Please use the other appropriate forums for that. "

At least Paul is trying to keep the site as neat as possible to try to relieve any confusion about navigating it. Majority of old posts are relevant, some aren't - unless you want to go through 5,676,998 posts according to the site statistics.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
