having numarous shift points
i am wondering if anyone knows if and how i would be able to have my shift light set to more than one setting at once for the different gears
That wouldn't be something we could help you with.. Your answer lies more on the side of the manufacturer of your sick shift light. I'm sure you could get some fully sick shift light's that would have different settings for different gears.

If you need a light to tell you when to change gears then you should not be driving

Doesn't a shift light tell you to change at the set RPM?Originally Posted by kevspec
I don't understand why you would want to change that point in different gears? I dunno if shift lights let you do that...
I'd just scratch the light and do the shift timing yourself.

You have an automatic.....
Welcome to the internet where people have opinions that you might not like
it is a auto goin to be doin quick times but the different gears will need to be shifted at different points for most efficent times. also if you guys are just retarts about the answers dont bother putting in your 2 cents

I don get what you mean, the auto is designed to change at the most efficient point in the rev range, changing the shift points wont give you any noticeable gains. However if you get a shift kit to give you quicker an firmer gear changes then yes you mite get some gains because you wont be losing time during the gear changes.

Superlow is right. If you want to shift it yourself get a manual.

man its is full shift kit and all the rest of the shit but anyway all im askin is can i get a shift light with different settings for each gear!

nothing off the shelf

SweetWagon has it nailed. So you have a fully manualised auto huh?

Even with a fully manualised auto, the motor is still only going to make optimal power at a certain point in the rev range, so having a shift light so you can change gears at a different point in the rev range is just pointless...

yous obviously havent had any drag experiance or racing to know that it is not always the fastest to shift at max power sometimes its better to shift early or later depending on alot of things

Your driving on the street not dragging so what's your point?

even i with basic mechanical and electrical knowledge know that the tacho is only linked to the revolutions of your engine. It has nothing at all to do with your gearbox and never will. Besides, as said previously the gearbox will change gears at the most appropriate time, whether it be 2500 or 5000. Unless you're an electrical expert as such, i emplore you to give up the idea, and scrap the whole idea. Shift lights belong in fully sick pulsar sss's. You are not Vin Diesel, you are not a guest star in the fast and the furious. You give commodore owners a bad name with your neons and spinners, and sick spraypainted interiors. End rant.

I don't see the point in what your saying, but I have to say I used to love my monster tacho in my VH.

Yes I know, if you get anymore manly you are in danger of making yourself pregnant!

It is never better to shift outside of where the engine makes peak torque, if you feel the need to either the car is not setup correctly or you have no drag experience.
To answer your question I don't know of a setup like you are asking for to suit a VN/VP. There are setups available but they require inforation from the ecu to know what gear you are in, the VN ecu does not have this information.

If you had any drag experience, you would know by the sound of your engine when to change gears. That and the seat of the pants feel. You can feel it when the torque peaks, listen to the engine, or if you really have to, watch the tacho and you will know when the torque drops off. Having the correct gearing for the engines torque range will keep the revs in the peak torque range when you shift. If you are building the car for "doin quick times", then you will be getting the gearing right as well so you are redlining in top gear when you hit the line.

Then use your ears and the feel of the car? You dont need some awesome leb-spec shift light flashing at you to tell you to shift. And if you do, then you're a "retart" and shouldnt have had your car manualised.
i never asked for all you dumb replys and if you knew anything a stage 3 is manualised and stage 2 is still an auto but to all of yous it is a street and strip car which is more than just a slammed piece of shit like im sure most of yous have and everything my car has is there for a reason
I get them "retarts" from the cake shop here,geez theyre good ey.

I didn't know there was an Australian standards for gearbox 'stages'.
I told you exactly what you needed.

It may be 'manualised' auto but it's still an auto.

So essentially he is asking about a shift light for an auto gear box?...rofl
