I've put my AVCR in the same place as mr crust, but not quite as neat (the cable isn't tucked into the ash tray). I've got it stuck on with heavy duty velcro so I can take it off and hide it under the floor mat if I'm parked somewhere dodgy (like a shopping center :) ) I just have to remember not to step on it when I get back in the car!

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..

Logical spot end of centre console under radio etc. I'd watch out on dash mounting a lot of heat there when parking during the day. The dash mounting looks a bit tacky.post-25792-1142508570.jpg

gotta agree the dash looks the best, however for security reasons its not the best place.. my mate had his windscreen smashed and his nice big blue apexi unit ripped out.. they didnt get anything else, just the apexi..

Keep this in mind if you park in dark carparks at night time for long periods..

I guess, no matter where you mount it, somone will always smash the window, and steal it..

But now this has got me thinking, if someone wants to pull it out, how is it possible?? Otherwise they would snap the cables somehow..

I will try and post a pic up..

4door32-- try some sponsers who sell them.. BUt you wont be able to get same price as i told you on pms.. But atleast it will be brand new lol.. gd luck..

Hey Wink - who did you SAFC install, it looks HAWT :)

Anyways, I haven't got an RSM (need one though) but I've got the SAFC2 in my R34. Below is a few pics of where I put it in relation to my centre console.

As you can see it's not a perfect fit in the R34 ashtray area but the angle that I've put it on is perfect for my line of sight while driving (it's pointed towards the driver). Also, there is absolutely no interference from sunlight/glare as it's all the way down the bottom.

Another thing is that the face of my SAFC2 is black (D1 Limited Edition) so at night time, it doesn't look like there is anything special there at all :huh: Security benefit!

Need installation advice / tips / faq, click below:

I was thinkin of that spot as well satanic, but then thought, it wouldnt be safe lookin down each time, and quickly lookin back up.. as compared to have it straight in front of you(cluster area)..

But either way, everyone likes to have it in different places..

Looks like a few ppl are keen on buyin a rsm.. why not make a group buy someone??

Well my only reason for the RSM is to remove that speed cut of 180kmh from the car... I don't need any other function of the RSM (maybe the G-sensor for wank factor)

$250 is what RSMs go for second hand... $80 is what the Pivot Speed Meter goes for - same thing, less rice. Maybe I'll just opt for that, though having another "computer" in the car is cool :D

I mounted mine just under the aircon unit, in a empty fold down single din pocket i got for like $30-$35(off another forum member, they came off the x-trial i think hence the colour) i can't remember, its no longer fold down because i broke it hahah so i put velcro to hold the cover on instead.

mine is for the avc-r, but same size as rsm/safc.

Its actually my Boost controller (AVC-R) not RSM,

i just use it to check the peak boost/speed/rev i just hit, and change my low-high boost settings.

unfortunately thats how it sits (a little in) had to modify the pocket(cut a hole in the top of it) for the avc-r to fit.

its actually better now with the flap broken because when it was attached(working) when its open its still there only folded down.

MAIN objective was to keep it visable and hide it when i park my car in the carparks. inside of having it infront of the ash tray.

Would anyone have instruction manual for the rsm??

Cant find it on net, nor does the apexi website contain one.. There was a link to it, but says, error link moved or something..

Found a manual for some older version of rsm i think..

so anyways if someone could please send it to me, it would be greatful!!

cheers..

It is possible to remove an AVCR with out snapping the cable. The cable coming off the back of the AVCR plugs into another cable that comes from the harness, solenoid and pressure sensor. The manual instructs you to push this connection though the firewall of the car so someone could just unplug this and take your AVCR. I guess if you didn't feed this plug through the firewall it would be a lot harder to nick it.

I don't know if this applies to RSM's however.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
