    The tach is an inductive pickup type. Run one of the coil wires to this, then back to the coil and your tach will work.

    i know about the adapter i was just hopn to make the stock tach work... explain what i gotta do zguy... i just dont know what u want me to do... u mean run to the adabter and then back to the coil right? there no way i can just hook up the wires? by the way msd is nice...makes the car run smoooth as butter but im sure u all know that already lol

    Took me bout an hour to install and test it into my z i got to drive it around today...its really nice to have the soft touch rev limiter..but i still need to buy an attachment to make my tach work (I THINK) anyone know if i do or not? cause there is a way to make tacs work without gettn it i just dunno which wire is my tach input wire next to the coil...i got the 6AL system with the soft touch rev limiter..very nice...for 150 bucks with a blaster coil never used! im happy with it and its a clean install...

    I hate to burst your bubble, but if that's Mill Valley, CA you're in, then you're out of luck on the waiting to be smog exempt. Check here:

    http://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/StdPage.asp?Body=/Smogcheck/doineed.htm

     

    "Beginning April 1, 2005, the 30-year rolling exemption has been repealed. Instead, vehicles 1975 model-year and older will be exempt. Therefore, 1976 model-year and newer vehicles will continue to be subject to biennial inspection indefinitely."

    I KNOW FUCKN ARNOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SENT HIM AN ANGRY EMAIL LOL

    This whole thread is kinda wierd. A higher gear ratio (smaller number) would (should) slow you down (acceleration) as it provides less torque to the rear wheels. Yeah, I know a turbo car can use that, but 95% of the time, the lower gear ratio (high number) will be quicker, but not ultimately faster. The only advantage of higher gears would be if you had a real torque monster in the low RPM range, like a diesel.

     

    you are right if u read what i said it made my car faster but its not as quick as it used to be...which is what the z needed! i found i was loosing to cars simply because i was shifting too many times...which would be great for tight courses like autocrossing..but driving it on the streets a lil longer gear ratio helped the car perform better...sure i dont get off the line as fast as i used to... but i have enough power i still rape evos and i posted in the thred what iv done to my motor too by all means its NOT stock

    ??? are you saying that you are expecting a 3.9 to be a bigger unit? This is not the case a R200 is a R200 no mater what ratio is in side. If you did not pull the back cover and see the number stamped into the crown wheel then how do you know 100% what you have? A 3.36 should have 37:11 on it. What is powering your zed? If a V8, turbo L28, V6 etc like Jon said then I would think this would be better suited to these engines with the right transmission. I am going the other way - pulling out a 3.9 to install a 4.11 as the 4.11 is better suited to my L28 with my Skyline R32 gearbox (same mod as installing the 240sx gearbox but the Skyline is shorter so no drive shaft mods as it is the same lenght as the stock B box).

     

    If your car still has a L6 engine then the 3.36 would have meant you can stay in any given gear longer = slower reving but higher speed vs a lower ratio (ie 4.11)

    NONONONON i ment BIG gear ratios i know they have the same pumkin
