I have a 2-Stage boost controller which has a little switch just near my steering column which i want to get re-located so its not as obvious but also so its easier to get to when i "need" it (you try leaning fully forward, moving your need, flicking a switch, making sure your knee doesnt flick it off all while "in the heat of the moment" hehe).

You can see a pic here

What I want to know is tomorrow i've got an Auto Electrician doing abit of work to my car and I wanted to see if he was able to re-locate the switch for me? (thats my 1st Q). The place i want it to be relocated to is the switch just below where my phone is in the above pic (I believe its for fog lights or something, whatever it does its not needed).

Obviously I have no idea about this stuff as u can tell so yeah thats basically what im wanting to know if an auto electrician can do.

Thats a common spot, and where I had mine located... its good there, just have to reach down to flick it.

Oh yes, he can do it - its an easy job - just make sure he doesn't charge you too much for a very simple job.

I'd probably give you a hand (30 min job maybe?) if I was in Sydney..You just have to take the centre console out and reroute the wiring

I'll actually be removing the drivers side door upholstery and the center console for him so basically all he has to do is re-solder about i dunno maybe 10 wires all up (to get my passenger door working again).

He said the door would cost $30-80 depending on if it was just soldering or needed parts as well. If i can get the lot done for <$100 i'll be happy.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
