Hay guys iam thinking of installing the Rsm and Avcr when i get my car and i wast thinking of putting the AVcr under where the cdplayer is i herd they come with a lil plastic thing that is made for that spot =)

and as for the Rsm i didnt really want to put it on dash and drill holes through it etc. =)

i was thinking of getting one of those Apiler things. that hold the guauges and put the rsm in that spot? dont know if it will work but its an idea huh +)

hehe or get one custom made?

any one know where poeple make this custom plastic stuff up???

in melbourne heeh

Tell me what ya think where did ya put yours =)

and post any pics if ya hve -)

I seen one car with an S-AFC + RSM + AVC-R all pasted under each other on the glove box lid.

Let's just say that all lit up, it looked like mission control.

Houston - we have a problem!

IMO they are a theft risk so I'm tinting my windows to hide that Apex'i shit.

Yeah, anything that draws attention is bad, both for the perspective of it making it more likely for theft, and the fact that if a cop pulls you over all little gizmos on the dash are going to warrant further investigation if they're in the mood.

From what i've been reading any boost controller is pretty much illegal anyway? or at least makes the car unroadworthy.

I keep most of my electronics in my glove box...out of sight out of mind... however if i did have an RSM then i prob would put that somewhere in eye sight as you do want to be able to see that one easily for obvious reason when doing times and stuff....

Having it in the glove box works for me as it is there when i do wanna check stuff out and when i don't want drunk friends to play around with it close it up and then no touchies! still enough room in glovebox for normal stuff to fit in aswell

Ive been pulled over heaps, cops didnt say anything about it, except how ca I afford a car like this and I must be a drug dealer... you know, the usual.

i'm with ex-static here....

I have my RSM on the dash... works a charm!

when I get the AFC it'll be in the single DIN underneath my stereo (as my deck is blue too)

and the AVC-R is going on the ashtray lid....*squeal*

blue boost gauge, blue dash lights... blue neons... mission control !!

I had the Apexi RSM mounted in the lid of the little box thing in the centre console. Problem was most of the time you couldn't read it whilst driving....too far from line of sight and reflection problems during day. Now it is on top of the steering column dead centre attached with hook&loop tape. It ocludes the revs from 0 to 2500 otherwise its fine .... any drunk mate who tried to reach it would be out of the car right then and there :P

hay ula32

mines on the ledge bit above the 3 centre console gauges. used double sided tape and the stand that came with it. not above the dash line, easy to read, no hassles (so far)....

what did you mean by the 3 centre console quages hehe?

does the double sided tape stick preety well? =)

here's a rough illustration...

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
