After sitting on this project for about 4 weeks, I finally installed <A HREF=http://harlan.sketchy.net/>this</A> shift light. For $40 shipped this little light does the job.

I am trying to get some pictures to show you all how cool this thing is and where I installed it. I removed my 12 volt
outlet and plugged in this shift light. There are three wires inorder to make it work. One is to the back of the ECU
off of pin One...cylinder one. The other wires are postive and negative. All the wires got spades and are plugged into the existing wiring. If I ever need to remove it I can and also could plug the 12 volt lighter back in without any trouble.

The light counts the engine clicks then tells the shift light when to light up. Funny thing is that it works very well if you bring the engine RPMs up slowly but if you "mash the gas", it's alittle off on the RPMs you set. As you can tell by the page, the light has a little board in it, not a supercomputer so I had to set the RPMs to 6,000 to make up of the delay. It took about 20 minutes of beating on the car to get me not to hit the rev limiter but the end result is
what I was looking for...cheap light for less than $50.

Light works great and if any one wants to know more I can help with the install.

 

Awesome! You are a groundbreaker when it comes to Maxima-innovation and engineering.

Look forward to checking it out on the site...
