Hi all,

Installing boost controller and PFC and getting a tune in the next few weeks. I've been told any 'in-car' engine management is illegal so I was wondering if any of the WA lads have had trouble with this in the past and where you may of mounted yours on your R34 to best conceal it.

I have a profec b spec 2 if this affects anything and I suspect that once tuned I wont be touching it much (low boost at 5 high at maybe 12 on stock turbo).

I suppose normal place is under the steering wheel or either side of it but this is pretty noticeable from what I've seen, maybe could get away with saying its a turbo timer =/

Cheers in advance, any pics will help greatly guys.

ta,

Steve

Turbo timers are technically illegal as well. Usually get away with them if they dont f**k with the alarm/immob. though.

For boost controller....well I've wedged in front of the ash tray, the R34s are a bit different though. If you have a pocket under your CD player, go in there (like this turbo timer):

But if you're rarely going to touch it, put it in the glovebox maybe ?

Hey man,

I have managed to pass the pits with both a turbo timer and boost controller in plain sight. Police didn't even bring it up when I was pulled over (I was stickered for a different reason)

So stealth is cool for looks, but I wouldn't stress about it

Blitz boost controller is on top of my steering column, so I can see/change boost levels (gauges are fkn homo IMO)

PFC hand controller is in the passenger glove-box.

Turbo timer is built into the alarm system.

Had no problems through the pits.

Yeh, thanks Brad that would be awesome.. although to improve the ability to read it easily I was thinking on top of the drivers side-view mirror with a bit of double-sided tape then I can wind down the window and reach out and set it as I require.

And Bubba.. you should smother paint over some bewbz and use it as an advertisement for your business, i'd definitely come play if I believed there would be paint-smeared juggaloons..

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
