SUMMONER!!!!

Cam here how ya doin man.

i got my RSM from Car Quest, $400 for RSM plus $80 for G-Sensor, i put it in myself, pretty easy, except the manual was in japanese, so had to go online and get english version, i didnt see any commodore wiring diagrams in there though??

anyway come and have a look and see what it does next time ya see me if ya want, i rekon the RSM beats the hell out of G-Tech anyday, looks heaps better and does more and only a little more expensive.

Cya round.:)

yeah there pretty good, dunno how accurate they are but they are supposed to be accurate to within 0.01 of a second but ive never been down the quarter so i dont know, the h/p reading was pretty accurate though, that was spot on to what the dyno read on my last car.

i have the older style RSM, the one before the blue screen but its basically the same.

I set it down on the quarter and on a few runs it was spot on, and the rest were only 0.1-0.2 seconds off the mark. It all depends on wheels spin as it reads it from the distance travelled.

So in theory you could do a 400m quarter on the spot :)

RadiuM,  

I have the older style RSM in my R32 as well (When its arrives, should be a week or two). Once it arrives do you think we can catch up at one of the events and you could run me through the RSM functions?

yep, no problem.

its quite simple, i just played around with it a bit until i figured it out.

R33_cam, nope.. don't think the older one came with a G sensor (checks manual) but the new one might compensate for this.

We installed a new one in a mates car, I love the G sensor graphs, just like the R34 GTR. hehe :)

:lol: yeah i think alot of the features are there to just look good :lol:

hks-s14::

they are pretty accurate with distances i rekon, measures to 0.01km (i think, don't quote me on that), its all resetable whenever you want, and can record your best times etc etc

now all i need is the SAFC sitting next to it, that would look sweet and mite actually make it go a bit better too....:)

Just thought id let u guys know that Skylines Australia does not condone any of the silly behaviour as described in this thread. If you break the posted speed limit you run the risk of killing yourself and others and we all know nobody wants that. We have already had a couple of incidents in the fold over the last week or 2 so lets not go testing our RSM's to see if we can beat the land speed record eh?

If you really feel complled to give it a good test, Moroplex is open most weeknights for a small fee and its alot safer and legal there than it is on public roads. :D

Oh, no more references to illegal activites please. Any more and the thread will have to closed.:uh-huh:

    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
