Where To Mount Rsm? (r33)

[siddr20]

Hey everyone..

tried to search for this topic, and dont think anyone would make a topic like this anyways..

I will be buying a RSM soon, and was wondering where i should mount it into a r33..

If you got any pics or ideas please post them up..

But i really would like to see some pics!!

I know it should be personal choice, but i would like to see something first.. Also how did you attach it to that position..

Thank you very much

Cheers..

I'd mount it either in front of the cluster somewhere (use the RSM instead of your guages) or I'd mount it on top of the dash, in the middle above the aircon vents.

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..

Not a RSM but close enough

As you can see I've got the Apexi stand too - not sure if you have it but it makes mounting these devices so much easier.

When I'm parked outside of my house I use a beanie to cover it up so people can't see it from the outside.

i put mine on the little shelf thingo, but now the deck sits under the shelf thingo.. ill take a close up pic later.

hmm i like where you put your safc wink.. might put mine in the same spot.. Did you use double sided tape?? hahah yea, i might have to put a hat or something to cover it up.. only disadvantage..

howd you mount yours secur1ty??

[Wink]

I used 4 squares of cheapo DS tape for the base and I used the DS tape that came with my GReddy Profec EBC to stick the SAFC onto the stand. I used to use the cheapo tape for that but it melts under the sun very easily.

On that note, with it mounted on the dash like that, the RSM will be exposed to lots of sunlight so make sure you cover it up when you are parking in exposed areas.

hmm guess it will make it harder to view as well right in the day time??

I will experiment it and see which is best..

cheers.. keep the pics comin ppl hhehe

i mounted the base of the stand with DS tape to the bottom of the little tray thingo. works well.

I mounted mine just under the dash cluster above my left knee i can see it perfectly. and i didnt use double sided tape i used Velcro strips so when i park i just pull it off and undo the clip and take it with me.

Yes on particularly sunny days I can barely read it.

my good mate mounted his where his ash try would be in his 200, looks good cause it out of the way but you can still see it easy....

plus its easy to mount if you know how

[siddr20]

lexbomb-any chance of pics?? keen to see how it would look there.. wouldnt it be hard to read--while driving??

ctjet- hmm i think the rsm is way longer than the asktrays lenght..but i will fiddle around with it, before puttin it in a fixed position..

[paulr33]

it has a light sensor on it to detect how bright it is outside and then adjusts itself based on the sensor reading. you can set the dark/contrast for each of the 3 settings

[siddr20]

^^ WOW really.. didnt know that.. Well i cant fiddle around with it till thursday anywyas..

but thanks for lettin me know..

Where have u mounted yours paulr33??

cheers..

Yer its not a skyline but it may give you some ideas...

the rsm is infront of the dash cluster, and the other one is my avc-r nicely down low out of sight... kinda.
