being that you have a VS, you will need to find the feed wire for the dash. That's what I had to to.. A little tricky if you don't know how to read circuit boards!

Mine was quite easy:P
Just take the Red Lead(positive) and hook it to back of the Ciggie Lighter. Black(earth/Neg) To a bolt where your instrument panel is bolted to Dash. u will find a good earth. green(sensor wire) Attach it to the wiring loom at the back of the instrument panel. i will post a pic tomorrow showing u which wire it is i forgot sorry. there is only abuot 12 wires. I think it was a grey one.

**walesy** · 23-01-2007, 11:03 PM

jeez cxcxcxcx-watever?? if you spend that much at autobahn on gauges and stuff it better be more than a claped out na rb30

whats it gunna be?

**detox_nath83** · 24-01-2007, 06:32 PM

Ok as i said i would get a pic for you.
I pulled my dash off all for you man. you lucky fella.
I found the signal wire was the Brown and Red wire in the loom. If u look at it front on(wires out the back) its the Top Right Wire. good luck man.
Let us know how u go

well far out cheers mate didnt exspect you to pull your whole dash apart! but cheers anyway! anyhow i got it sorted it works well and im doing the n/a conversion to turbo been in touch with bresciani and got a quote er might have to save a bit more $$$$

but got a score off ebay the other night its a complete turbo head with injectors the whole dealio (minus turbo and ecu) for $405 bucks and its suposed to be all new stuff to (the guys motor suffered bottom end failure) and so after work i pick it up tommorow

will keep posted how this project is going

well i dont need a shift light but i like the monster tach i think they look sweet and dont be fooled by the ricer look as some serious amercian race cars have monster tachos e.g nascar ect and also it compliments the setup ive got

but everyones different and thats what makes us individuals! and yeah should have a few pics up soon maybey by monday arvo (going away with the family camping for the long weekend) i might have a few by tonight maybe... also ive just picked up an absolute score of ebay full nearly brand new top half turbo conversion for $400 (the guys bottom half of the motor failed) so new head and turbo cam inc seals, cross over, exhuast manifold, turbo injection manifold (all new injectors)

**detox_nath83** · 25-01-2007, 11:16 PM

**sheepz89** · 03-06-2008, 01:14 PM

if you pull ur dash cluster out, you'll find that you dont need to penetrate the firewall WHAT SO EVER or send any wires down to the engine bay!!! all the wires are there behind your dash... even if you dont have a tacho dash... i did it in the old SL... made life so much easier
