you need to pull half your dash out and find a little green wire behind the dash that plugs into the stock tacho......

or jump it off the computer.....

is that anything like a mexican beer with a spicy bread roll???? :(

oh nice spelling BTW!

Bwhahahah, Good one.

If your going to pull the -ve pulse from the ECU be very very careful. You get the wrong wire you will end up with bigger problems then deciding where the hell you are going to mount a tacho that is for wank value anyways.

Not all people think that there for, how do you say it mate "WANK VALUE". different people like different things and if were all enthusiests about our carws and our skylines then we shouldnt have a go at someone just because they are doing something different.

Henzie i installed one the other day with the help of some mates.

First you need an "L.E.D" light detecter to find the wire that links into the computer, at idle it should flash at a slow regular pase and then under accelaration it will flash faster. strip the wire and join the green wire of the tacho then solder it together. Then all you have to do is find a continous power supply somwhere behind the dash and a power supply that workes when your lights are turned on and hook up the wires that the instructions tell you. And dont forget to earth it aswell. On a saturday i ran all the wires through and fitted the tacho to the dash and then on the sunday i had my mates help me find the right wire and solder everything together. All in all it would probably take about 40 to one houre to install everything.

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 馃槢 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
