I've tried searching the forums but I can't get a straight answer. I want to run a monster tacho in my R32 GTS-4 RB20DET. I'm told the standard tacho won't hook up to the wires because the computer runs 8 volts and the tacho needs 12 volts. Is this true? I have a wiring diagram and I'm all set to go but i don't want to damage anything. Can anyone help me with this? I'm in Melbourne if anyone cares...

Thanks guys,

George.

Run the 12 volts from your ignition, Earth is ground

The signal wire (usually green) on the autometer goes to the RPM output of your ECU.

There's prolly a white wire that goes to your lights too

I just installed an Autometer (Autoguage) Tacho in my R33 GTS-t and no problems at all.

i had a problem hooking up my tacho to the rb20det ecu, i followed the instructions and hooked all the wires up correctly power,earth and ignition. i had a problem with the ecu tacho wire its self, when i connected the tacho pulse wire to the green rpm signal wire from the tacho itself all that would happen is the tacho would go to 3000rpm and just sit there?? the car is a the auto electrican at the moment getting some other things fixed so i'll get them to look into the problem?

thanks again fellas, interesting feedback. I'll trial fit it to the computer and see if it works, before I drill holes in my car. And I'm not ungrateful for the replies but I still want more replies if possible because clearly there are different views on this.

Thanks again-

George.

Can you hook the tacho up to the stock tacho pulse wire in the back of the dash and if you can which wire is it

any help would be great

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
