Hey Guys.

Just wondering what other people have done in regards to mounting Hand Controllers off a Power FC. Whether people are generally mounting them on their dash near the radio controls. Or concealing them away in different locations. Just after any cool suggestions as too what will work and what wont.

Main points for my car. I want the Controller to be visible (when i feel like it), but then easily concealable inside the glove box or other similar position for when i don't want it to be noticed.

I have gauges mounted on the top of the dash and a motorized DVD player as well as passenger side airbags which rules out a few options for mounting in that area. I guess i could leave in stashed in the center console somewhere but i would like it mounted so its visible for car shows, cruises etc. Maybe i have the option of between steering wheel and drivers door somewhere.

If anyone has any good setups in use I would love to see some photos. (Car in mind is an R33 but of course anything is good for ideas)

Cheers. Luke

i have it on the left of the steering wheel over the top of the dimmer switch...

if a cop is gonna stick his fat head in and look around, just rip it off and shove it under the seat/floor mat/dash

mine is velrco'd on the left hand side of the climate control unit and the cable goes through the glove box so very easy to drop it into the glove box when you get pulled over or when leaving the car some where.

Velcro'd on the dash behind the wiper stork. Have velcro up on the inside of the panel above your legs so it can be placed there out of sight for any reason.

am sooo doing that! GREAT IDEA

I saw a controller that had been stripped down and the screen and the buttons mounted separately in the centre dash of an RX7. By far the best I've seen. Personally I keep mine under the passenger seat away from the plods and the thieves.

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
