Hey guys,

after a long search, i managed to get myself a blitz spec r that didn't force me to sell body parts to fund the purchase.

Second hand purchase and i'm not sure i've got everything i need to hook it up?

this is what i've got...

and then found this listing on ebay, which i "think" shows what comes with it if you buy it brand new

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLITZ-DUAL-...emZ300267594132

and then i found the manual, and i do seem to be missing some stuff

question is though, do i have enough to get it all working. I suppose the main part is that i have the controller and the solenoid... but i don't seem to have any pluggy bits :D (don't know what you call it)

so yeah, was this a wasted purchase, or can i get it working?

cheers,

chinny

given what the yen and usd are doing now :D it was cheap

see i don't have those plug things at the end of the wires.... the 'harness'? do i need them, or i can i just wire the stuff in? could i buy those little plug ends from an electronics store and just split the wires into the plug?

from the parts list and paul's brand new kit from an i-colour, looks like i'm missing..

- extra vacuum line (black)

- rubber house (blue)

- white plastic hose join (for black vacuum line)

- end plug things

- wire taps

- t piece

would i be able to buy that sort of stuff from electronics stores?

i have a feeling he gave me an older style solenoid. It's dual, but not the one for a spec r. You can seem from paul's solenoid there are blue and white wires, just like mine.

yet, when i check ebay at the other spec-r's for sale (they've all popped up now after i bought mine damn it!) there is a mysterious purple wire that comes from the solenoid. So that's 3 wires from the solenoid, white/purple/blue.

Can any who has a spec-r confirm if they have 3 coloured wires from their solenoid?

i paid via paypal, so i have some protection... but this guy was like a platinum seller, and he confirmed for me it was a spec-r boost controller.

bugger. I was checking as many spec-r pics as i could and EVERY one has 3 wires for the solenoid, that must be one of the differences between the original Dual SBC that DiRTGarage was selling, and the Spec-R.

I'm going back and forth with the seller trying to tell him i do not have a spec-r solenoid, but he's playing hard ball at the moment.

thanks for your help guys.

i managed to sort out a refund for the one i got, and then luckily found this one on ebay for about $20,

looks a bit more complete :)

and you can see clearly here that the Spec-R solenoid picks up an extra wire (PURPLE) don't know if i need it, but at least i know i have all the right stuff now

anyways, thanks for helping to confirm things for me. The one i originally got probably would have done the job, but i feel a lot more comfortable having bought the second one

cheers,

daniel

ok, the 'take two' Spec-R arrived the other day, and it's getting installed tomorrow..

doing it after hours with a mate and his workshop, but neither of us has installed one before.

just wondering if there is anything we should be mindful of? any tips/tricks? good places to put the solenoid and bc in the cabin?

i think i read somewhere the solenoid shouldn't be more than 1 metre away from the turbo, i think

anyways, any tips would be great :huh:

cheers,

daniel

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
