Hi,

 

So I had this project of shift light on steering wheel for my r34 gtr started for month ago now and I finally finished it.

Features are :

- 9x RGB leds can be set by user

- threshold RPM can be set by user

- custom PCB to get RPM from cluster (so it doesn't matter if it's a stock ECU or standalone ) !

- doesn't affect cluster/ecu behavior

- custom hairness (except 12v, there is only one solder or quick contact to do on a wire )

- based on OEM r34 gtr

To be confirmed but it should work on r32, r33 and gtts

 

I think I'm the only one to have something like this in the world

 

I got a lot of good comments when I show it to friends and so I have been thinking of selling some.

Steering wheel customisation will be done by a french company

I will do this during my free time, meaning I don't need to eat. It's just extra.

I'm an electronic engineer so I know what I'm doing (most of the time 😛 )

 

Price is not defined yet and will depends on how many people are interested and options asked for the stiching, carbons, color etc

 

If you are interested, don't hesitated to contact me

 

Best regards

 

PS : if this kind of sell is not allowed, please delete no problem

This looks awesome! When you say the LEDs can be set by user, is it fully customisable?

When I think of shift lights, I'm picturing it lighting up from the outside to the middle. Like below

. . . . . . . . . (all LEDs off)

| . . . . . . . | (outside LEDs on)

| | . . . . . | |

| | | . . . | | |

| | | | . | | | |

etc. then blink at the below for shift

| | | | | | | | |

 

Is that possible?

Also what is involved in getting it done? Have to send in the steering wheel I presume?

thank you for your comment ;)

Unfortunatly only the colors but if I have a lot of interested on this, I could look into it.

 

Well I will provided a kind of instruction/manual for installations and obviously support

Installation is rather simple, Basically it's some cover to removed, steering wheel, airbag, clsuter.

Connect custom hairness and that's it.

 

You can send your own or I can buy an used one or start from an aftermarket one

Hi Bogboss, I am also an electronics engineer. I my business if OG Innovations. One of my products would be perfect for this, I have a shift light controller that would be perfect for this.

I it’s a shift controller where the amount of leds can be set up to 64 leds. The Color segment size is customisable, Color’s are customisable and so is the animation. 
I also have a can bus version so it can be installed on new cars aswell. 
Pm me if you’re interested I can readily supply these. Powertune bought a few hundred of them to bundle with their dashes. 
I also have an array of various led bars, you should look at the dot star 2020 leds, you could fit twice as many in a wheel, I can make them to the shapes, sizes and specs to meet your needs.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
