Just a quick guide on how to install one of these.
These are the terminals for the wires I spliced into.
I just used the wire clips that came with the light. The Green factory wire was 12v Ignition.
The Yellow with Blue tracer is Tacho signal.
Tested all ok before putting dash back together. Mounted using 'Old Faithful' double sided tape.
Only needed to be calibrated up one point. Works a treat.
Cheers Simon |

Hi Simon,
Nice review ! I'm glad you found the installation so easy and simple. Thanks for taking the time to write a review like this. QUOTE (Doobs @ 22 May 2009, 04:11 PM)  These are the terminals for the wires I spliced into.

Yeah that's the back of the cluster.
The tacho signal is marked TAM. |

I wired my Shift-I at my ECU loom, tacho, ignition switch (so I could use it's voltage indicator feature).

14.4volts while engine is running, or 12v when the engine is running?

What value did you use as rpm calibration? I think I had to use 4 solid lights (or was it 4 blinking lights)

Hi Doobs... Tony from Ecliptech here
 Would you mind if we put together a fitment guide for R33 GTR owners with your info/pics? Will of course give full credit to yourself and include a link for SAU etc...  |

ShnaneosR33... which shift light is this you are trying to hookup? I would have expected the black, red and green all you would need. Unsure what the yellow (light) is for. Check the instructions for what it does. Perhaps it's for the lighting circuit, so it dims at night when your headlights are on (given that shift light doesn't have a light sensor to do it automatically). |
