[Marko R1]

hey mate, just off topic where and how much did u pay for ur gizzmo shift light?

[Marko R1]

was given to me as a present so no idea how much & where it was it bought sorry

[Adz2332]

sorry me again lol... did you install it urself? one wires for ground, the other power. where do the other 2 hook up to??

[Marko R1]

yes i did...the green wire goes on the ecu side of the rpm signal & the blue wire goes on the tacho side of the rpm signal.

you need to physically cut this rpm signal wire so that the actual rpm signal runs like this:

ecu side (rpm signal wire) > green wire > shift light > blue wire > tacho side (rpm signal wire)

hmmmm ok... is the instalation book any good cos i dont get it lol... what state u in?

[Marko R1]

the book explains this - this is what i used.

im in syd...little bit far from adelaide

feel free to call me if u need further clarification on 0404884876 or email me [email protected] & i'll email you the wiring diagram which is also shown in the manual (except it doesnt point out the rpm signal wire)

Is it for day driving?

If its just for night driving id put it facing the speedo, so the whole dash lights up when its time to change. Shouldnt be bright in your eyes but you will notice it

i drive it day & night - ive decided to leave it on the steering column, im just not used to having a shift light in a cabin...on my previous motorbike it was not as much in your face

maybe on top of the dash board in the middle above air con thats where im considering putting mine

im doing some custom shit with mine

it involves the triple guage cluster

care to elaborate?

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

hahaha

ull see soon its in production but basically the triple guage cluster in the middle of the r34 console holds 3 guages (no shit) im gonna make like a lil add on, on the right side of it above where the boost guage is

like another pod for the gizzmo shift light.

im still trying to work it out in terms of electrics to be able to change the shift point easily. (i think i can do it with my wolf v500 but we still working on it)

so after i have worked that part out the fibre glassing bit will be piss easy and it will look intergrated into the dash as well so less noticible to the cops. then ill send it off to china and have it made in carbon fibre.

ill keep u posted
