got a Ruzic TSC , doesn't have much in the way of installation instructions.. I have done some work on my car Before eg, clutch, gearbox etc but nothing on the electronics side so could use some help with this one.....

most of the wiring looks to be straight forward, just match up the colours of the wires.. BUT I've pulled the dash, centre console and centre gauges, stereo etc to pieces, to connect wire to back of the front torque gauge to the + screw as described ( trying to follow instructions I found on here ) there is 4 screws with 3 of them marked os its not obvious which is the + one... is it the top right as I suspect.. ( when looking at the back of the gauge )..also is it ok to just tap into the stereo power + & - ,, as for the toggle switch can I use the aerial switch on the dash it only has two wires going to the back of it and the toggle switch only has two also, will that be ok ( the aerial has never worked but reception is fine )

If there is anyone in perth who has done this before and would be kind enough to come round and help or if anyone can just answer the questions above that would be awesome..........

Try checking out this post for some tips if your still keen to try it yourself

yeah thats the one I'm trying follow, lot easier when you have someone who's done it before with you......

I see he used the stereo power, I was just hoping there was somewhere more accessable...

The stereo power is right below the gauges (front torque split gauge) which I had to connect to, so I thought that was a logical place to get power from.

Good luck

paul (mountainrunner) is on these forums if you are stuck.

good buy :D

yeah he's just messaged me and said the best place to get the power is from the same place as ECU & also I think he said the wire to back of gauge is only needed for when you use external data logging !! just waiting for confirmation of that...will post up what I find out for others....

ok job done ...not exactly straight forward with those instructions and wiring diagram..firstly on all the paper work including the wiring diagram they refer to the G-sensor and then on the wiring table it starts talking about an Accelerometer ???? I asume that is is G-sensor ( if I'm wrong I've fkd it ) and also if you tap into the drivers side of the g-sensor plug (as these are wires the wiring diagram describes) then the Lateral G signal from G-sensor & lateral G signal out to computer-- are the wrong way round !!!!

anyway that was my experience ...... good luck to anyone having a go....icon9.gif

still haven't had a reply from mountainrunner, so I just took a punt and did it the way I thought made sense..

will test it out the track next weeksorcerer.gif

If you know how to improve the instructions I wrote please feel free to contribute, it wasn't a very difficult install but it could have been if I didn't get guidance from someone :down:

Yes, pretty sure accelerometer is the G-sensor located under the centre console in the R33/R32.

Certainly not criticizing your instructions, couldn't have done the job without them :blush:

as the unit doesn't come with any how to....

If I get time I might add some to your instruction tread..

The product is obsolete or almost obsolete.

It's Paul's hobby and not really a mainstream business.

He only made a couple for enthusiasts so there was not enough profit to put a lot of R&D in the instruction.

I think he has been making a few more as requested but he is busy with other projects now.

I intalled mine and thought the instruction was fairly straight forward.

You should get a power source that is on when the key is ON and remains on during Start.

I wired up a relay switch from the ECU.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
