hey, don't forget the bonus for actually taking the time to do a write-up, guys...

FWIW, sometimes ya gotta do what ya can, with what ya got, right? ///H

exactly.

So was this a good tach to begin with? You could always get an RPM controller ($30) and go from there. I like sleeper gauges/lights though. Makes the car cleaner.

Wow. Dare I count how many people posted that you could get a
shift light, and not use a tach? Suckas...

:P

Yeah I just didnt want to spend the extra money on another shift light.

HI um im new here n i didn't seem to find what i needed to know so anywayz i have a 200sx ser n i wanna hook up a autometer techometer sport comp n i hook everthing up, i also clip the brown wire at the back of the techometer and everything works good but my rpm is about 1,000 rpm short? so is there any wire i need to hook up to? to run it the correct?

I like the idea ALLOT. I'm sure he just used the tach because he had it laying around.

XxToKeSxX - You can do it just by purchasing an msd rpm switch and wiring it into a bulb.

man i checked into one of those .. there not cheap cheap... not breaking your bank but must be some good use for them other than a shift light

Your stock tach could be that far off or your not getting the proper rpm signal.

Is English your native language? If not, that's fine. If it is, then please try typing it more clearly.

Do you have your tAchometer set to the proper cylinder setting? Some tAch's have a selector for the # of cylinders your engine has. What wire did you tap into to get your signal?

Ease up on the newbie Toolapcfan, :rofl: :laugh:

well now i somewhat was messing with it n now is like 3,000 rpm higher then the rpm on the cluster, the way how i hooked it up was the green wire from the techometer to the other green wire on the distirbutor n it still reads different, then i tried hooking it up to all the other color beside black n it was the reading, *** i have a b13 n those has a coil so i know how to hook it up from there but since the b14 doesn't im stuck...

wrong wire ^

whats the right one.... I think that would help him. its obvious its the wrong wire.:biggthump:

That's for B13's/OBDI, his car is a 200SX, so it's a blue/orange wire.

Oh I missed that

Um i've check n there's no blue/orange wire, but there's a blue/white wire but thanks for your help :)

in my b13 93 with the diferent dash i like connect with AIR BAG ligth with a RPM controller and and work nice !!!

dude...that really sucks

Who are you replying to in? (And did you notice this thread is 9 months old?)

can someone do a write up with a msd switch just like this? i have a useless air bag ligth area that would be perfect, and im going to see if i can make a overlay that says " SHIFT " instead of airbag LOL he he
