Yes that's exactly it it's made by autogauge I have a rb25det in a Vl and the standard tach does nit work so I was thinking one of these however unsure how it will go with a aftermarket ecu

Ok. So it seems that it is more accurate than the hand controller as it appears to react quicker. Most of the time it is within 50rpm when stable. Just pause it constantly through the clip to compare them.

Yeah I'd say definitely more accurate because it is updating the rpm a lot quicker than the powerfc. The other tacho seems to change about 3 to 5 time for the powerfc's one time. Just gotta pause and play it real quick.

I'm assuming your being sarcastic there as many people on here don't like Vls

Mate I reckon vl's are great. You put any vl with the same power and grip as any skyline and which one comes first? vl every time. But the interior of the vl lets it down. That's my opinion.

On the subject of setting the shift light, it is controlled by the button in the centre of the tacho. You press it and it will go up or hold it and then press it and it will go down. It is just like any aftermarket tacho. They are a standalone unit. I was just using the handcontroller for comparisons sake before.

Yeah what I meeant is say I want the shift light at 6000 I get to 6000 on the hand controller say the tacho 5980 I set it at that that's what i meant

Oh ok I get you now. The tacho is adjustable in 100 rpm increments. I can feel another youtube clip coming on. :D I think mine is set to 6800 or 6900. Most of the time I actually shift at 6500 or 6600 cos it feels better there. i only really rev it to 7000 or so if I need the speed from that particular gear.

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
