Hey i have a DR30 that is running a different ECU, and thus running multicoil. I didnt have it running on the standard ecu for long, and as such do not know which wire is the signal wire. To save myself from ripping the cluster out, would someone be kind enough to point me to the wire off the standard coil to the tacho? A pic of the wire would be great too!

Cheers,

Steve

Ive just had a look, and there is a connector that goes to where the coil was, and has 2 black and white wires running from a commn point. Im assuming the ecu got one and the tacho got another?

Man its really easy to pull the cluster out.

The 'octaganalish' cluster surround piece has 2 screws up top near the perspex, and 2 more underneath, below teh hazard switch and power window switch.

To undo them takes 10 seconds each.

Then the switches just need each plug un-clipped. careful not to damage teh de-mister as its fragile.

then the screws around the cluster itself.

All up it takes 5 min easy.

Put in some LED globes while your in there!

If youre stuck for witring diagrams, have a look online for the S12 Silvia, there is an FJ20det manual for them on 'fj20.com' or something like that

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
