94warhawk Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 im hoping this is the correct place to ask this question, is it possible to have a shift light running off the original tacho instead of buying a monster 5" tacho? i have a r33 gtst skyline and do not have the shift light or monster tacho yet so any suggestions to what would work best are welcome thanks for the help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446419-is-it-possible-to-install-a-shift-light-with-only-a-stock-tacho/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

iruvyouskyrine Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I don't think so no, as the output from the ECU to the dash is a PWM square wave signal i believe. Happy to be proven wrong though, have a look through the R33 workshop manual and see what the tacho signal input is Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/446419-is-it-possible-to-install-a-shift-light-with-only-a-stock-tacho/#findComment-7357980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
