A cheaper solution to installing a second tacho is fixing your current one - my bet is the cluster has been out at some stage, and the needle has been pushed back on too hard; just get a fork under the needle and lift up slightly, and it should work nice and smooth. If you're not sure how to remove cluster and get the clear plastic cover of, do a search in the AU section on "cluster" (there's plenty of threads covering how to remove etc). Is yours a 6 or an 8? If the former, I'd be interested to know how you got the 0-100 time in your signature.

Yeah, its a pink wire and referred to as Clean Tacho Output. Its pin 45 on the V8, not sure about the i6.
Looks like that 0-100 time was measured with a G-Tech

Most likely the crank sensor via the computer. The computer would convert the analogue signal to a digital pulse.
