Hey guys

Some knob - i.e G.A Garage sent me a Blitz SBC 3 BoostController which was totally fried... Im thinking the solanoid could be fried as well!!!

Anyone know if any power is sent to it to do such a thing? or most if not all the power was sent to the screen??

Im able to get a screen and new controller for a decent price still to hold me even I guess.. Was wondering if its worth it concidering the solanoid could be rooted.

I know its quite a general question but someone who knows how they work might be able to help .. if its all mechanic and no electrical movements involved it still may be ok.

If I could, how would I check?

great ... guess ill have to meet up with the guy n see if it works or not .. will the soli make any sound when its functional? or will i be able to blow straight through it? anything I could do to make sure its functional .. i suppose a multimeter would help but dont want to crack it open

easy way to test the coil is to just power up the two coil wires one pos and one neg. if you here it click then it has switched. to further test this you could then blow through the line in hole and see if you get air through when it is on and none through when it is off.

u should be able to check with a M-Meter,

u should be able to disconnect the coil from the actuator... then power it up and put something metal in the middle of the coil,

When it's activating you should be able to feel it through the peice of metal (a small screw driver would be ideal)

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
