What I was looking at doing is having a VX GTS Style Shift Light that is basically just a RED LED built in to the center top of dash with possibly a couple of amber lights that turn on per 1000rpm to let you know roughly where u are in the heat of the moment.
It would look better than a big dicky tacho... Then again i don't like big body kits or big wheels i like the SLEEPER Look....  Far more affective.

G'day mate...
I was in exactly the same boat as you were... I drive two different cars, so it's hard for me to intuitively "know" when to change gears... I found myself hitting the revlimiter in the R33 now and again, and it annoyed me... Like you, I didn't want a big ass tacho, but I *did* like the look of the shift light that comes with them... On www.takakaira.com, there is a Pivot Shift light that is about 0.8" diameter, filled with a BIG FAT RED LED, which is pretty much the same as those Autometer ones... but it's only like an inch long, and you don't need to have a big ass tacho or swap pills on it... have a look... It's under: Performance Parts -> Pivot -> Then on the drop down combo box at the top, select "Racing Timing Lamp"... I've ordered it, and it's on it's way to me as we speak via UPS, so I can't give you a report on how good it is, but it's Pivot... an extortionally expensive Jap brand, so it must be good  Cheers mate... -- Merli.  |

Wouldn't a tach with the redline tell you so much more? Besides, tachs are cooler than the lights.
