I'm following this write up
Installing an I30 Tach Into an S13 Gauge Cluster : 240sx Articles (http://forums.nicoclub.com/installing-an-i30-tach-into-an-s13-gauge-cluster-t442494.html)
but i'm having trouble on this part.
"This step require soldering in 2 places...
The 1st is the middle contact. ILL+
You need to solder in a wire onto the resistor before it goes in. there is already a solder there so you can just heat it up and stick a wire in.
The 2nd is the bottom contact. HICAS, don't know if its needed but i did it anyway.
You need to solder a wire onto the copper pad before it go's under the plastic (I did this after I took the pic, sorry).
The top contact is TAM (tachometer signal) just for your curiosity.
These 3 wires (TAM, ILL+, and HICAS) need to be wired into the wires that used to be in the connector before cutting it to fit the new tachometer's chip board."
it looks like the tach single for the circut board on the tach itself comes out at the ILL+ on the back of the cluster. so do I make a wire from that screw to the TAM on the cluster plugin? then a wire to the ILL+ to the resister in the write up?
