Hi All

I have just installed a diesel tacho in my standard GX 80 series. The only problem is I have to tune the tacho to the engine so i was just wondering if people can tell me what rpm they do in the following conditions. Car is a 1994 Diesel (1hz) 5 spd, 80 series.

1st Gear- 20km/h RPM??
2nd Gear-40km/h RPM??
3rd Gear-60km/h RPM??
4th Gear-80km/h RPM??
5th Gear-100km/h RPM??

I know there is a lot but I am also trying to work out if the tacho is correct over a wide range of gears and rpm's

Also what is redline for the 1hz, in the 80 series???

Thanks heaps

In 5th gear 1000rpm = 40kph

100kph = 25000rpm

I can not say what the revs are in the other gears.

4200 rpm is the red line

Vic did give me your number but it is in Belinda's car. Will give you a ring when she gets home.

Mind telling us more about the tacho you have found? :-) Brand? Digital or analog?

I got it off ebay, it cost $100.

Its a Auto-Gauge. It is 5 inchs big though, it was the cheapest I could find, they were throwing them out because they purchased the wrong model. They purchased Diesel instead of Petrol
