Title: Tacho for CA18

Look at Andrew Dennis' website... I don't have the URL handy, but I remember he did a modification to the tacho going in his 1200 coupe (Ca18T).  Something about using 4 diodes tied together at one end and to each coil pack on the other....   Wardy ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Adams To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2000 7:08 PM Subject: RE: Tacho for CA18 Its the one with the coil packs. I was told that nissan puts out a weak signal and a resister will weaken it even more so I don't think that will work - but I will try it.   Im not sure what you mean about (over cam manifold)??   I used the CA18 bellhousing and the stumpy skyline five speed for the rest. The shifter came out in the exact same spot.   With the hydrolic cluctch, we just welded a plate on the firewall for reinforcement and bolted the mastercylinder up.   Chris Adams -----Original Message----- From: CP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 25 March 2000 12:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Tacho for CA18 Do you have direct fire coil packs or the other thingy? As i heard you have to wack in a resistor to fix the signal or something like that.   Is the CA the one with the over cam manifold or the later model one?   Also what gearbox and bellhousing did you use? where does the shifter come out.?   How did you install a hydrolic clutch? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Adams Sent: Friday, March 24, 2000 2:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Tacho for CA18 I have recently installed a nissan CA18 turbo into a datsun 1200 Ute. I goes really well except I have no tacho. I tried conecting the old tacho, but the signal isn't strong enough (The nissan's apparently has a weak signal). Can anyone suggest what I can buy that will work?? It should be the same with a SR20 Thanks Chris Adams --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
