APEXi RSM or Techtom MD100, The great Debate
APEXi RSM or Techtom MD100, The great Debate
The Techtom Measures lots of (16) different engine parameters.
The Apexi RSM Measures a few, but does some distance and power measurements. Which one is the most bang for the buck? I realize this is going to be an opinion thread, so let's here what you experts think.

I've got the Techtom, it's pretty large, fits behind the console hole where the "door slot" used to be, but I'm assuming you can't use them at the same time because they plug into your diagnostic plug next to the main fuse box under your steering wheel, correct?
IMHO. the techtom is the better deal. the new techtom that is coming out soon is even better and smaller!
if you want em. i can get it thru Gforce who is the only authorized techtom reseller in the US..

they're coming out with a obd2 universal set that will work on 98->2k3 models.
the old TMD100 didnt work on later year nissans.
i can find out for you if you want. i think the price will be around the same..

well, it seems the RSM is more performance oriented. Removing speed limiter and measuring Gforce and stuff like that. Whereas the Techtom is more to monitor engine condition and sensors. Make your choice on what you want/need more.
Listen to this!
I went to my local Nissan Dealership, to find out what the correct readouts would be for my Techtom, (if I don't know what they are supposed to be, then how am I supposed to tell if something isn't working, right?) When I pull up to the parking lot I can see everyone looking at my Max through the showroom window ('cause it doesn't look like any of the one's on their lot!) I go in and start talking to the "main mechanic", who was one of the gawkers, I show him the list of readouts the Techtom will display, and could he tell me what the correct readouts should be, for instance, he says that the maxima doesn't have ignition timing, so that readout is useless, then says the O2 sensor readouts are useless because there are 8 different readings for each sensor, says there is no such thing as a boost sensor in a Max, then almost starts making fun of my body kit & '02 SE Rims, and somehow we got on the subject of the Knock sensor, he tells me that the knock sensor doesn't do anything at all, that you could cut the wire on it and the car would continue to run fine "for life" an that it never, for any reason needs to be replaced..........Huh? That not what I've gathered from info read on the .org
I don't know if I got a d!ckhead who was jealous of my ride, or someone who's just messin with me, or if he's absolutley right. Any body want to set any of that straight?
