Dunc Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 It finally showed up, in a very well traveled looking postage satchel with no padding :| Everything looks to be in order, no damage to the box or the components.. looks like its all there and brand new. Fingers crossed theres no dramas! I'll see if I can photograph some of the setup/install and screen options for this thread (and M35Stagea.info) I should really learn japanese; the manual has 91 pages of documentation for them, and 20 for us. Im pretty sure their language isnt THAT inefficient, so Im guessing they just get more details... bastards!

Dunc Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Got around to installing it, the missus came over and wasnt too keen on me sitting in the car for 30-45mins last night Never mind, I had a good think about where would be practical for the unit and initially tried zip tying it on the right hand side of the steering wheen; that proved to be an awesome sun light reflector in to my face - so I settled for it on the left hand side. The display itself is nice and clear, very easy to read I used the double sided tape to mount it, wasnt possible to get it completely flush but I think it should hold Didnt take any photos of the wiring, but I went with the Red - Orange connection, turns on and off with the car. I tucked the cables up into the opening in the panel next to the OBD plug, havent cable tied/taped back the cables flush yet but its out of the way for the time being Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/309626-informeter/page/5/#findComment-5556071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy65b Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi Dunc Nice job. That is the same spot I put mine. You should be able to tuck the cable up next to the main console next to the air vent. I managed to bend my mounting pad so it sits flat on the curved surface.

Cheers Andy I contemplated trying to bend it but figured Id probably some how break it, knowing my luck Theres already a cable running down there for the fog lights, I'll sort something out eventually.. Im thinking those little square stick on patches with tiny cable ties built in; one or two of them should keep it nice and flush. Interesting thing I was oblivious too initially, the branding on mine! RE雨宮 (RE Amemiya), as in the tuning house for rotaries. Weird. Everything was new, in box. Protective plastic film still over the screen. Who knows Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/309626-informeter/page/5/#findComment-5556286 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zei20l Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 after much hacking the radiator wont fit. i rekon it will fit if the aircon condenser wasnt there. so no car for the moment gotta have it modded OR go full custom. which means more money Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/309626-informeter/page/5/#findComment-5559434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamhe77 Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) It'll fit. I gave up on the Mishimoto one too early out of pure frustration, but it is sitting quite happily in Scott's car which has less engine bay space than mine.

zei20l Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 i rekon the mishi would have fitted with some cutting but these ones have the mounts in the wrong spot and they hold the AC condenser out 10mm away from the core so the entire unit doesnt fit in anyway, it will be sorted with more time and money thrown at it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/309626-informeter/page/5/#findComment-5560410 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zei20l Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 how did you get it to fit without cutting too much of the reo away? bah, dont worry actually. gotta get the radiator modded anyway so ill get them to move the mounting points forward so it WILL fit then ill just shorten the hoses on the back so they dont kink up Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/309626-informeter/page/5/#findComment-5560473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
