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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
