Anyone got any ideas of a good place to mount the RSM? Not as big as what i thought but i am not sure where to put it! Also there was talk about somone fitted one to their magna and they had the wiring diagrams.. if anyone has them can you please send it to me cause i cant read the JAP manual

Dude - if you need a hand to wire it up let me know - I remember what you said about wiring your car kit!! haha

Oh and it was EagleAus that had teh wiring diagram - and MagnaV6Sports has it as well - from memory.

Good stuff.. thanks for the offer i think my friend at Morley Hifi is gonna hook it up for me.. gotta go get my alarm window up changed so they can do it then lol.. but yer i gotta get the g sensor

The WIRING DIAGRAMS aren't all that correct. And it's not easy to wire up. I got mine done through a friend of mine who does all these things to cars even Bimmers and other European Cars and he just knew where the wires go.

Here's a pic of where I mounted it, I'll be putting the SAFC II next to it to complement the RSM. The dash has no proper flat surface to mount it with the stand.

how much did yours cost Mv6S??

Hmm bugger i got a MD Stacker and Graphical EQ where u have urs mounted dammit there must be a space somewhere... the SAF II is pricy isnt it? not that the RSM was cheap lol

how much did yours cost Mv6S??

Cheapest one I found here was 500 bucks... but if u guys want I can get them even cheaper back home and bring it back myself.

SAFC II is around 5oo (If I remember clearly) bucks back home and in Australia they retail for around 600... cheapest I found here was 530 with the Stand included...

Hope this helps....


* Those prices includes the G Sensor and Stand *

the RSM i found new the other day for 440 so that was the cheapest I seen it.

With G sensor and stand? If it does... That's a good deal

No way manual that would have been just the RSM if not that is a STEAL!

i will be installing mine in the tinted strip at the top of the windshield, run the wires down the a pillar! it shoul be really hard to see from anywhere but in the car! (helps against theift)

well that's where mine is going

I wanted to do that as well, but the wires were too short (unless u want to take the trouble to extend it) and the car ECU is right in the middle of the front passengers' footwells.

nick, i think that it is worth it, it'll probably install cleaner up there! and i have time! so yeah, i'd be taking the time to extend the wires!

Yeah, when u do that, flip the stand upside down and install it that way.. you'll find that you get a better range of motion on the unit on the stand.... And if you are worried about the apexi sign being upside down when u see if from the outside... don't worry about it as the tint is too dark for the sign to see through :D

If u need help with the installation, let me know as I've got someone who can wire it up with no problems.

I am reluctant on extending the wires as I am paranoid about it not being accurate..

P.S For those who want to know more, the RSM GP is more accurate then the rev/speedo reading on the car as it taps straight to the wires :)

Ok - sorry the RSM I saw was just the RSM and not the GP!! Otherwise - do you think I would have left it in the shop without at least a deposit on it!!

haha

please help, what the f*** is a rsm , is it some kinda gtech type thingy or a programable computer type thingy, sorry!!

RSM Rev Speed Meter.. give u readings like speed, a tacho, 0-100 times pretty kewl little unit made by apexi check out their website for more info...

It also cuts your speed limiter if you have one and is more accurate than the dials on your instrument cluster,

Manual

what sort of places would do a good install of one of these?

Any reputable auto spaky could do it - but most import mechanics know what they are doing!!

Manual

hmmmmm, might have to make some inquiries.

The tinted strip on top of the window sounds like a good place to mount it too.

Make sure you get a few quotes, and allways have a SET price. If they say they have never done it before so they can't give you a price until its finished then tell them thats fine, i'll keep looking.

Don't let them screw you over, its happened to a few Aussie Magna customers who have purchased the Apexi RSM.

Hey TButcher - that is for an S-AFC not a RSM, close - but not quite the same.

Thats an SAFC, it's more of a piggy back computer.

The RSM is only a measuring unit, but the SAFC can tune engine managment.

Thanks for the link anyway, good read :D
