Where To Mount Rsm? (r33)

[MacGuyver]

I've put my AVCR in the same place as mr crust, but not quite as neat (the cable isn't tucked into the ash tray). I've got it stuck on with heavy duty velcro so I can take it off and hide it under the floor mat if I'm parked somewhere dodgy (like a shopping center ) I just have to remember not to step on it when I get back in the car!

A friend of mine mounted it in front of cluster, but it sort of blocks most of the thing.. I know the RSM will show the speed etc etc.. but for some reason i dont like it..

But yea, anyone got a pic of it mounted on dash, middle-above air con??

WOnt get the RSM till thursday, so in the mean time, would just like to see where you all have mounted it..

thanks all..

Logical spot end of centre console under radio etc. I'd watch out on dash mounting a lot of heat there when parking during the day. The dash mounting looks a bit tacky.

gotta agree the dash looks the best, however for security reasons its not the best place.. my mate had his windscreen smashed and his nice big blue apexi unit ripped out.. they didnt get anything else, just the apexi..

Keep this in mind if you park in dark carparks at night time for long periods..

I guess, no matter where you mount it, somone will always smash the window, and steal it..

But now this has got me thinking, if someone wants to pull it out, how is it possible?? Otherwise they would snap the cables somehow..

I will try and post a pic up..

4door32-- try some sponsers who sell them.. BUt you wont be able to get same price as i told you on pms.. But atleast it will be brand new lol.. gd luck..

Hey Wink - who did you SAFC install, it looks HAWT

Anyways, I haven't got an RSM (need one though) but I've got the SAFC2 in my R34. Below is a few pics of where I put it in relation to my centre console.

As you can see it's not a perfect fit in the R34 ashtray area but the angle that I've put it on is perfect for my line of sight while driving (it's pointed towards the driver). Also, there is absolutely no interference from sunlight/glare as it's all the way down the bottom.

Another thing is that the face of my SAFC2 is black (D1 Limited Edition) so at night time, it doesn't look like there is anything special there at all Security benefit!

Yeah, anyone got an RSM to sell... PM me please

[siddr20]

I was thinkin of that spot as well satanic, but then thought, it wouldnt be safe lookin down each time, and quickly lookin back up.. as compared to have it straight in front of you(cluster area)..

But either way, everyone likes to have it in different places..

Looks like a few ppl are keen on buyin a rsm.. why not make a group buy someone??

[satanic]

Well my only reason for the RSM is to remove that speed cut of 180kmh from the car... I don't need any other function of the RSM (maybe the G-sensor for wank factor)

$250 is what RSMs go for second hand... $80 is what the Pivot Speed Meter goes for - same thing, less rice. Maybe I'll just opt for that, though having another "computer" in the car is cool

[siddr20]

Ahh so the rsm does remove the speed cut...

or does it just display the speed, above whateva speeds u doin of 180.. while the normal guage will just sit at 180??

heheh well i got it an excellent price if u say if they go for 250.. thanks mr_g.. heheh..

I mounted mine just under the aircon unit, in a empty fold down single din pocket i got for like $30-$35(off another forum member, they came off the x-trial i think hence the colour) i can't remember, its no longer fold down because i broke it hahah so i put velcro to hold the cover on instead.

mine is for the avc-r, but same size as rsm/safc.

Cover On:

Cover Off:

[siddr20]

Wow thats hi-tech man..

so the rsm hides in the pocket??

Man i wouldnt mind havin that for my boost controller..

can you post pics, of it half way in, half way out.. any more brighter pics man..

thats a really good idea.. i like it..

[satanic]

That's a nice install mate... shame about the lid not working anymore!

[GTshortie]

Its actually my Boost controller (AVC-R) not RSM,

i just use it to check the peak boost/speed/rev i just hit, and change my low-high boost settings.

unfortunately thats how it sits (a little in) had to modify the pocket(cut a hole in the top of it) for the avc-r to fit.

its actually better now with the flap broken because when it was attached(working) when its open its still there only folded down.

MAIN objective was to keep it visable and hide it when i park my car in the carparks. inside of having it infront of the ash tray.

[siddr20]

where can you buy these pockets? or best to go to nissan??

[GTshortie]

i got the fold down pocket from KNG-32R (another forum member) i don't think he sells them more, but you could try finding him and shoot him a pm, or hte alternative is contact nissan and see how you go.

[siddr20]

Thanks for that GTShortie..

[siddr20]

Would anyone have instruction manual for the rsm??

Cant find it on net, nor does the apexi website contain one.. There was a link to it, but says, error link moved or something..

Found a manual for some older version of rsm i think..

so anyways if someone could please send it to me, it would be greatful!!

cheers..

But now this has got me thinking, if someone wants to pull it out, how is it possible?? Otherwise they would snap the cables somehow..

It is possible to remove an AVCR with out snapping the cable. The cable coming off the back of the AVCR plugs into another cable that comes from the harness, solenoid and pressure sensor. The manual instructs you to push this connection though the firewall of the car so someone could just unplug this and take your AVCR. I guess if you didn't feed this plug through the firewall it would be a lot harder to nick it.

I don't know if this applies to RSM's however.
