SUMMONER!!!!

Cam here how ya doin man.

i got my RSM from Car Quest, $400 for RSM plus $80 for G-Sensor, i put it in myself, pretty easy, except the manual was in japanese, so had to go online and get english version, i didnt see any commodore wiring diagrams in there though??

anyway come and have a look and see what it does next time ya see me if ya want, i rekon the RSM beats the hell out of G-Tech anyday, looks heaps better and does more and only a little more expensive.

Cya round.:)

yeah there pretty good, dunno how accurate they are but they are supposed to be accurate to within 0.01 of a second but ive never been down the quarter so i dont know, the h/p reading was pretty accurate though, that was spot on to what the dyno read on my last car.

i have the older style RSM, the one before the blue screen but its basically the same.

I set it down on the quarter and on a few runs it was spot on, and the rest were only 0.1-0.2 seconds off the mark. It all depends on wheels spin as it reads it from the distance travelled.

So in theory you could do a 400m quarter on the spot :)

RadiuM,  

I have the older style RSM in my R32 as well (When its arrives, should be a week or two). Once it arrives do you think we can catch up at one of the events and you could run me through the RSM functions?

yep, no problem.

its quite simple, i just played around with it a bit until i figured it out.

R33_cam, nope.. don't think the older one came with a G sensor (checks manual) but the new one might compensate for this.

We installed a new one in a mates car, I love the G sensor graphs, just like the R34 GTR. hehe :)

:lol: yeah i think alot of the features are there to just look good :lol:

hks-s14::

they are pretty accurate with distances i rekon, measures to 0.01km (i think, don't quote me on that), its all resetable whenever you want, and can record your best times etc etc

now all i need is the SAFC sitting next to it, that would look sweet and mite actually make it go a bit better too....:)

Just thought id let u guys know that Skylines Australia does not condone any of the silly behaviour as described in this thread. If you break the posted speed limit you run the risk of killing yourself and others and we all know nobody wants that. We have already had a couple of incidents in the fold over the last week or 2 so lets not go testing our RSM's to see if we can beat the land speed record eh?

If you really feel complled to give it a good test, Moroplex is open most weeknights for a small fee and its alot safer and legal there than it is on public roads. :D

Oh, no more references to illegal activites please. Any more and the thread will have to closed.:uh-huh:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
