shiftlight

[VIPERONE]

may have found a way to rig one in, sing led flash on 6.5k 2 wires and ld bulb all u need, connects in to diagnostic socket will report findings on my test run!

[Lunner]

:D

Keep me posted, always hitting the limiter on track :oops:

Presume it comes on AT the rev limit, rather then say 300rpm before?

[VIPERONE]

12v LED,

connect black - wire to pin 9 on the diagnostic port, and connect red wire + to pin 6, on turning ignition the led should blink 5 times.

i may be wrong....

[Craig]

i fitted one other week, works spot on!

[VIPERONE]

yes this is a poormans method, where you dont need an external unit, just red wire black wire and a 12v led lol.

Crikey -30, now thats freaking cold!!!

Shift light looks good!! I take it you can set it to where you need it to be and not from the rev limiter. As best time to change is not a limiter.

You could have at least made it look straight and central!

Cheap ass!

[Craig]

what do u mean?

underside is of dash is bent, the shift light bends to fit any shape!

and i wanted it above the rev counter

its set to flash to change at 7100. limit is 7300

Actually I'll let you off as that all makes sense now and it is indeed in the prime position...































:D

[FATBOY]

is your temperature sensor knackered then? or am i being thick?

[big hp]

I'd defo say sensor is knackered. Thats what they flash up with when shot.

[Anders]

Isn't 7100 a bit high for changing? Surely you are well past peak torque by then, and when the next gear kicks in you are on the high point of the curve also??

[Craig]

no its bob on mate, peak torque is 6500 and peak power 7300 on standard bottom end!

actually thinking about it, red is at 7100, but the change flash is about 7250 i think!

yeh wire is broken on the mirror for temp sensor, need to sort it!

:)

[richy]

problem id have is i dont look down at dials, ive kinda learnt were 6500 is by the sound(s) it makes! although it would be nice to have one lol

**** me must be cold where u live to be -30 degrees

[Craig]

yeh thats the idea mate, its bright enough to see without looking at the dials.

you dont have to take ur eyes off the road ahead! and when it flashes to change you know it time to change!

got a vid somewhere! hang on

[richy]

cool how much was it craig and were u get it?

[Craig]

i got it from ebay mate, look for revlight! much cheaper than car ones as its for a bike ideally! works fine tho!

[richy]

ah yeah found it, might get one lol

[Coops]

thats fcukin kool mate!!!i want one!!haha!

[neilc]

Craig how does it wire in ??

[Craig]

quite easy, just ground, switched live, and tapped into the rev counter wiring at the back of the clocks!

[neilc]

will look into that once the thing is fixed haha

[Lunner]

£50! Sod that!

Gunner......does this LED just flash when it hits the limiter?

[VIPERONE]

where can you get this rev lite from?

[Dancliovalver]

thinkin the same as lunner, thought they were gonna be a couple of quid lol!!!

any alternatives???

[VIPERONE]

i just own the revlight one on ebay brand new £30 notes. :-)
same as craigs

:) i just brought one for £30 to but have real big problem setting it up. I have got power to it and have wired it up to the tacho wire at back of my clocks but when i plug the connector back into the clocks it stops working which means its onli letting me use one or the other not both. :(. any ideas on how to fix this problem?? cheers

[VIPERONE]

i wired it via my method (via the ignition block)

[clio_172]

i wired it via my method (via the ignition block)

How is this done and does it work fine?
cheers :)

here's one i prepared earlier

[clio_172]

Wicked cheers. I have got power the unit and have earthed it so it works now but when set to the clocks the lights are going mad when my engine is on. ( like yours did ) by just taking the wire from behind the clocks and fixing it onto the point where yours is fittied will eliminate this problem.

Im a little confuse about wiring it to the negative where as mines on the positive side but powers up fine on my switch? :)

cheers

[clio_172]

OK right seems to be working a little better. Now its down to programming the little bleeder. It is on My clio RT so onli revs to 7000. I have set it to the green zone which seems to b ok but then flashes mental. What ration have u used when setting it up. I.e how many green light flashes, amber , red.

Sorry to be such a pain but i have tried a few different patterns and i think im annoying my neighbours having to keep re setting it and reving it to 4 rpm all the time .

cheers :)

[VIPERONE]

as per the video on the guide thread :-)///\\\ its pretty straight forward

[clio_172]

They make it look sooo simple mines beeen gay. Green zone gd then amber and red just go crazy. they onli have like 4 flashes between each. hmmmmmmmm
