Hey guys just wondering if anyone has one of those autogauge digital tacho and shift light in 1 that just jap sell and are they any good I want to get a shift light and tacho but dont want a monster tacho or anything

Something like this one? Only thing is that it was in the car when I got it and I dont know what brand it is. But it works fine.

Yes that's exactly it it's made by autogauge I have a rb25det in a Vl and the standard tach does nit work so I was thinking one of these however unsure how it will go with a aftermarket ecu

I'm using the power fc at the moment. It ran fine on the stock one before I swapped computers and works fine on this one too. I've had the car for about 7 months and no dramas.

How accurate is it

How accurate is it

Gimme a sec and I'll have a check against my hand controller.

[luvpsi]

Cool cheers

[Room42]

Ok. So it seems that it is more accurate than the hand controller as it appears to react quicker. Most of the time it is within 50rpm when stable. Just pause it constantly through the clip to compare them.

Yeah I'd say definitely more accurate because it is updating the rpm a lot quicker than the powerfc. The other tacho seems to change about 3 to 5 time for the powerfc's one time. Just gotta pause and play it real quick.

[luvpsi]

Yeah I see and basically you just set the shift light using the hand controller not bad for 100 bucks

Will be a pretty sic vl once your shift light is installed.

I'm assuming your being sarcastic there as many people on here don't like Vls

Mate I reckon vl's are great. You put any vl with the same power and grip as any skyline and which one comes first? vl every time. But the interior of the vl lets it down. That's my opinion.

On the subject of setting the shift light, it is controlled by the button in the centre of the tacho. You press it and it will go up or hold it and then press it and it will go down. It is just like any aftermarket tacho. They are a standalone unit. I was just using the handcontroller for comparisons sake before.

[luvpsi]

Yeah what I meeant is say I want the shift light at 6000 I get to 6000 on the hand controller say the tacho 5980 I set it at that that's what i meant

Oh ok I get you now. The tacho is adjustable in 100 rpm increments. I can feel another youtube clip coming on. I think mine is set to 6800 or 6900. Most of the time I actually shift at 6500 or 6600 cos it feels better there. i only really rev it to 7000 or so if I need the speed from that particular gear.

[luvpsi]

Yeah haha another you tube vid why

[Room42]

Yeah haha another you tube vid why

3. Cos I'm bored
4. I have no idea
