Install aftermarket tachometer on E30

[jumpman]

Hey sifus..I was wondering if it's possible to fit an aftermarket tachometer on an E30? Pls advice!!

 

[chairoger]

Definitely....cheaper too. Only problem is to find a good space in the cockpit or around it to place the tacho. I am also thinking to doing something similar but with the water temp gauge

whoa, you wanna rev high eh?

 

[fabianyee]

can be installed but why ah??? wanna add the tokumi style 11,000rpm rev meter???

 

[jumpman]

hehe..wanna add to the interior looks..but not rev like takumi la..need engine transplant first =P

Roger: I've found a space to fit as my tachometer isn't the super huge one hahah..more or less like the one you see in takumi's car...kekek

Fabian: I called up my mech to ask whether it can be installed, he says not ngam with the car technically (didn't bother to listen much as i think he's bs-ing). I called up another person and he sed that he has to see first. Is it that hard to install? compared to normal cars, to install a tacho in an e30 that complicated ka?

Thanks for the advice so far guys.

yeah ...lol..anyways, got it done already at an accessory shop..for RM50..and i tink it's a rip off..

their reason: continental cars have diff wiring etc etc..thus being a risk to install...blehs

yes..it's possible. Installed an omori revs meter before. to monitor the original revs.

I installed an autogauge tachometer abt 2 years back cos I had a 4 pot meter on a 6 potter. It was fairly easy to install.. 1 wire to the (+) of the coil, 1 wire to (-). 1 wire for lighting.. and maybe 1 each for earth and ignition switch. Anyway, took it out after I found the chip that turned my meter into a 6 pot meter.

hahah..interesting. My tachometer so far working well...suits the interior well too i reckon. hmm..planning to install a volt stabilizer soon..any recommendations? How much does a volt meter cost?
