Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Sounds interesting but if you've ever used a shift light, they need to be quite bright or a large illuminated area to catch your eye when they are needed. Let's see some pics when you have them. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted June 22, 2006 how about a semi-transparent face for the rev counter (smoked black style) with a number of bright lights behind it. when not in use it'd look reasonably normal, but when lit it'd give that large lit area chris is talking about. Failing that, how about rigging up an air horn to trigger when a gear change is needed, you'd not miss that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUB 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Does sound cool - will you set the peak time to change gear {as all cars are a little different} or will it be adjustable? could the indicator be on the end of a lenght of wire so's able to mount any where {within reson} on the dash or colum? I'd be up for it after you've tried and tested and can show pic's :thumb right: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds interesting but if you've ever used a shift light, they need to be quite bright or a large illuminated area to catch your eye when they are needed. So bright lights would be a must then?

ben16v 0 Posted June 22, 2006 if the light is gonna be bright it`d be a good idea to make it switchable on/off for when your not in race mode 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyVR6 0 Posted June 22, 2006 any ideas as to what sort of price? may be interested if its just going to use the empty slots in the clocks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted June 22, 2006 I might be interested in this too... would be nice to have lights coming on that didn't mean large repair bills ahead for a change :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 22, 2006 i would be very interested i was about to start doing this myself how serious are you about doing this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 22, 2006 I googled for a couple of pics, this one might show it to be a bit too bright and distracting but still Below, this is the brightness of the one i use in the Skyline Here is a nice little Razo unit from Japan that works effectively Hereis a link to show you more about this including fitting explanations, not too hard and works well and is fully adjustable to revs you want and amount of cylinders you have. Thoughts? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 22, 2006 yup about as bright as the bottom one and maybe with a switch to turn it off as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUB 0 Posted June 23, 2006 On off switch needed as don't want to worry the misses anymore than she is already {lights flashing all over the dash- the past couple of days bills/bills/bills} Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted June 23, 2006 my thought was to have it come down out of the top of the binnacle that the clocks sit into, the actual plastic piece and not the clocks that way it can be nice and bright and will illuminate the clocks when you hit the limiter. BLue LED's are brighter too, its just the way i am doing it, so if anyone has it done i wouldnt mind seeing some pics :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Be interesting to follow your progress but not sure if blue is the colour! Eyes are most reactuve to amber and red is a narrow shoft in the spectrum from it so is very receptive unlike blue, that's all bull really but red is the real colour for a shift light. Get on with it then and show us what you do. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Will be searching for the rpm signal in the Corrado wiring loom this week, then should crack on quite swiftly with it. On/off switch definately a must, as it could be very irritating if not always required Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrbeige 0 Posted June 26, 2006 As far as costing is concerned, most shift lights are around £100, so how would £40 - 50 sound?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted June 26, 2006 sounds good to me mate let us know how you get on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 26, 2006 Yeah but to be fair it's only going to come on at top revs and the revs will only be up there when you'd need a shift light, not a prob if not switched really is it ladies? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted June 28, 2006 have to agree with chris on the switched or not option I will all goign to plan have one rigged up in the next few weeks, i intend trying a few different couours, i know what your saying about red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
