Been Quoted $440 for an Apex'i RSM from Formaz(cheaper than xspeed $500+

I intend to install it in my ute mostly for the fact i'll get aspeed reading over 255kmh.. i know it also shows RPM. but what other features does it have? i've heard various things like air fuel ratio etc as well.. but i'd like other peoples views on this..

also.. is the price right or are there cheaper 1's available through other suppliers?

go to www.takakaira.com

These guys are Japanese perfromance parts exporters.

I order my Apex SAFC delviered to my door 7 working days for $550 better than paying $770 through local shops here in perth,

I just looked up your RSM and comes to $340 add approx $40 for UPS freight so $380 all up NOT BAD AT ALL! saving of $60 which is prob how much it would cost to install! so really a free install for what you have been quoted locally!

On a private road right ? :D

The aftermath of the high-speed crash...

me: doc, how are my legs?

Doctor: your legs are being express-posted to us from the vicinity of the accident (read: legs thrown 50k's up the road)

me: *beeeeeeeep* *flatline heart monitor*

urrr. i'll pass.. your on your own with that speed...

Oh, a "flyby" on the EMERGENCY lane on the freeway, during a run/cruise right ?

I'll stand behind a 1m thick concrete barrier, on the side of a road then while you "fly by" shall i?

I'd like to SEE it, not experience it :D

A photo of ur speedo would be cool tho :D (not encouraging speeding btw)

actually it wasnt a midnight cruise was after another cruise and they were heading home roads were empty id wind it out, overtook them and kept going, did the run 4 times that night was good, passenger enjoyed it to, the cars dead stable, seems the areodynamics arent that shabby on them and the suspension is setup nicely. Its not something i recommend everyone to try and do tho :D

TSK TSK TSK Summoner. After those words of wisdom you gave us a couple of weeks ago about hoons on the news that time thrashing it up Leach Hwy and after you convinced me that you were a good boy and all of those people were controlled and only a few idiots do stuff like that in public areas....:confused:

Were you in one of those cars that night that was shown on the news??:D

Sorry dude had to stir you up...:uh-huh:

Anywayz i'm not one to talk i think a lot of us have broken the law whilst driving then again doing 250km/h down the emergency lane isn't in my list of law breaking as yet.

Oh by the way dude another website is Nengun! same thing as Taka Kaira but i don't have the address ...oh here it is:

www.nengun.siteblast.com check it out aswell...quite good i have heard, haven't used him 1st hand though.

time and place, those on the news were doing it during times when there were other cars on the road. I did my runs at a late enough time (approx 2am) where only other cars on road were people from a cruise, and even then only saw 2 at the time.

As i said i don't condone such driving, but i am interested to see how quick she goes. As for the thursday night thing, no i wasn't there that night, had a business dinner to attend but i can usually be found there still, cops have done sfa really we just get less dickheads now.

So after the big fuss the news made about it, it looks as though things came out better for you guys in the end! Good to hear

The less D*ckheads the better when it comes to things like that. Do cops ever try to break things up in the car parks when everyone is meeting? I wouldn't mind coming down one night and checking out the cars!

I think i saw your car at the rollaboyz dyno day aswell.. 350 Rwhp wasn't bad (is that the correct figure?)i think you were speakin to my bro Matt a couple of times..

Matt Webbs ya bro?

Yeh i was at the dyno day.. the dyno at myaree reads high(hence rb like it).. Yeh cops ahve tried from time to time, blocked of the ends in a "random" inspection, told everyone to piss off otherwise they'd fine them etc. Its all fun, we see it more as a joke and go there have some fun, then amongst ourselves organise a bit of after meet activities

Mark , Nenguns cool, completely trustworthy but with the amount of emails, a bit slow.

He is an ex W Aussie living in Japan and his Dad lives in Nth Beach. Bought a bit off him with no probs.

BTW , what speed did the Porker do on the Katrine sprint.

We saw 7200 rpm in 4th ( dunno what speed but the needle was well off the clock )and My nav was driving that stage.

Bugger , knew I should have swapped over earlier.

we did about 220 i think on that stage, i just looked forward and at the road seeing this cornernig approaching us(i do recall dad shifting into 5th tho). Your Zed is beautiful, probably 1 of the nicest imports i have seen ever. Not to mention you great driving style, at burswood that was amazing ass out around most corners..

i'll have a look at that nengun site thanks should be good. Are there any sites in english that state all the features that the RSM does?

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
