If thats the one with 4 or 5 LEDs then its ok though for that money you could get a autometer bulb type with chips (to set what revs it goes off) and it will be bright enough to light the cabin up and let you know its time to change gears.

Just dont be a fool and set it at 3k like someone i know that has a MINES gts.:uh-huh:

The Isotta one is real nice. You need an aftermarket steering wheel though as i tgoes between the boss and steering wheel.

Personally I don't like progressive shift lights. I know when I need to shift, that is just before the red line. If i had the time to look to see what light i was up to see if i needed to shift yet, I may as well have just looked at the tacho.

How much is the pencil type shift light from autometer? And from where can I get one?

I used 1 of those 1'c before, and will never again.

I got a Pivot Shift Light which works off the cigarette lighter aswell but much more accurately, will post pics when i get home.

i got mine through the melbourne Apexi dealer for a really good price coz my friend ordered a bunch of axepi stuff from him.

Same guy doesent work for apexi anymore, but u can source em out at certain Autobarns. or shops like evo-r, jetspeed

Autometer all the way baybe.

BTW NIZ30 for a pencil shift light u need 2 components

"5310

RPM Activated Module

This electric module allows the RPM “Pills” to be used for triggering Shift-Lites. For 4, 6, or 8, cyl., std. electronic ignitions, 12-16 volts. 1 amp max."

and the shift light itself

"5331

Quick-Lite Shift-Lite (silver)

Includes plug for easy connection to tach or 5310 module."

This is what i use in my car.

Around 700$ with tacho.

Best setup u can get for a performance street car.

Thanks for that GTR King. Didn't know there were two sections to this light. Still not sure where to get one though.

As for the monster tacho.... My car has a perfectly good tacho, I can't see the point (besides wank value). Of course, if your car doesn't have one as standard, it's a must.

Well to be honest i didnt buy it for the "Wank Value"

As i Drag race my car and need consistant times and for that u need the best equipment. As for buying a shift light u could order them from almost and speed shop. If u do decide to get one make sure u get the right shift light chip eg 6500 rpm as it is not variable via a dial. U need the chip to light it at the desired revs u want. As u can see buy the tacho i got it has a pencil light shift light and believe me they r bright. Also comes with a coloured cap to put over end for night use so it dont blind u. The one i have will easly light up my whole interior like a UFO. They r brilliant design. I wouldnt settle for anything else. Well thats my opinon.

Thes light are great as well but a bit bulky and dont look as neat as a pencil light. Your choice but.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
