RSM w/ G sensor help?
I have two questions:
1) Are there currently settings to make the RSM w/ G sensor work in the S2000?
2) Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction with regards to finding some installation instructions?
Thanks a lot for any help you can give me.

It's kind of a cross between a G-Tech performance meter and a rev/speed monitor tool. It's pretty tite. Check out Apexi web page for more technical info on it.

I've had the RSM in my car for about a year now...
Apexi have an application for the s2000 for the RSM...
so wuts the problem?
Oh RSM stands for rev speed meter...
Besides returning the revolution and speed of a vehicle it is also able to display: Estimation of PS on the wheel, 0-100-200-400meter time records, Acceleration timings, Lap times, L/R G-Force, Rolling resistance of vehicle, Rolling vehicle loss Horsepower, and even Battery Voltage. Such information can also be displayed in various ways such as Simple Text/Digits, a Digital Gauge Style Graphical representation, Graph Charts, G-Force Map and more. The functions are also easily accessible via an extremely user friendly menu-scroll system that kind of resembles a simple Windows Drop down menu and can be navigated through a 4-way button on the left of the screen.
For the functions such as G-Force, Measure of Wheel PS and Front and back acceleration and left and right acceleration, it is necessary to have the optional G-Sensor installed. If G sensor is used, also it is possible to verify the change of acceleration with circuit travelling and the like after the travelling.
The unit itself utilizes a large and bright VFD Display for easy visibility. The brightness can be defined by the user to match the brightness of the surroundings be it night and day. As a bonus the vehicle's speed limiter cut may also be disabled. This was not necessary on my S2000 that already was spared from a speed limiter from the factory.
Upon initial install the device automatically prompts to the 'Setup' Mode where the following information needs to be fed into the RSM: RPM Induction Output Setting, Vehicle Speed Induction Setting, Cylinder Number Setting, Vehicle Speed Pulse Setting, Warning RPM Setting, Speed Limiter Setting, Tyre Size Revise Setting (useful if one always swaps wheel sizes), Vehicle weight (don't forget to add your own weight and a passenger!).
Once calibrated, the RSM is ready for action! Enter the 'Meter' Mode which is able to display Engine RPM Display (accurate to a thousandth) in Real time and Peak hold, Vehicle Speed in Real Time and Peak Hold (Highest Vehicle Speed), Acceleration Measurement (0-100m,0-200m,0-400m times, 0-100kmh, 0-200kmh, 0-300kmh), G-Force measurement. The built in stop watch also allows for measure of time from Point A to Point B (say from home to work) as well as lap times. The best 5 times for any of the timer functions are also saved into memory until cleared by the user. Nearly all the functions of the Rev Speed Meter can allow the user to easily set variables.

KID! Thanks so much for the input. Can you do me a favor and let me know the values I'm supposed to enter for the S2000 for each of the setup questions?? Also, how do you convert from PS to HP? Thanks a lot!

Cyl: 4
SP1: 4P (forgot...try out and see...wrong setting here will give wrong speedo and rpm, so easy to select right one)
ADJ: 106%
Tire: 99% (cause my 17"+ tyres is 99% diameter of the 16+tyres...this will give a estimate of true speedometer speed versus stock speedo in case of diff size rolling feet, 100% is for stock)
Weight: 1350kg (est car with two drivers)
