Well I have had a stand alone autometer shift light since my Hoon days doing nothing in the shed ...thought I may aswell chuck it in the Vit for some Bling factor ...
......so
Mine has a factory tacho so ive unpluged the plug behind the tacho on the dash ....does anyone have a wiring diagram or know what colour coded wire is the tacho input ...please
as there is about 10 wires to choose from ....also is it actually the plug behind the tacho (as I would assume ) or the is it tied back into the plug behind the speedo ??
cheers

Going by what i have found sorting out the wiring out in my zook is its the brown wire off the cluster.
This was for a import vitara frontcut cluster with a MPFI in it.

Just clarifying - the tacho on a sierra will get a correct reading from the harness wire on the mpfi loom? The sierra tacho uses some sort of circuit boarded plug whatsit... anyone got pics of how they rigged theirs up?? I miss my tacho =(

correct.
This is how it is on mine and also the vit tach in the cluster uses the board also.
btw the mpfi's have a redline cutout unlike the sierra valve bounce

maybe...
i'll have to have a gander at ur wiring setup and were it goes/terminated.
i would have though they would have done it part of the converison?
Pics
