Hey again guys, i need some help on this topic! It has me hell confused & i just cant seem to get any answers... So was hoping someone here might be able to help so i can get this 32 sorted & off the chart..!

Anyways, i have a 32 here & it has one of these units... Pretty cool stuff, though when i try to get into any Boost settings it wont allow me. As if that feature doesnt exist.. I cant even seem to find the word boost anywhere in the unit & usually with this model you go to 'Calibrations' & its listed under there! Its acting as if it doesnt have the boost controller option as if its the MMD model not the SBC..! So initial i thought it did have the MMD 'I Colour' which is the same unit but without the Boost control function virtually but no, he insisted it WAS an SBC I Colour so i went searching for the SBC Box & CPU for it... Funny thing is i found them both & everything is hooked up like an SBC too!

Now i know with the MMD's it wont show any Boost pages or settings as it doesnt have the SBC Box or CPU so i can understand if it WAS the MMD but as i stated, its has all the SBC equipment & everything is hooked just like the SBC!

Now when i turn the car on & the BLITZ I Colour display fires up it comes up with 'MMD MODE' just as it turns on... So my question is, WTF?? Lol. How can it come on as a MMD when its a SBC I Colour not an MMD I Colour?? Is there anyway someone has changed modes on it or f***ed with it before me? I didnt think you could change modes in these things unless you take out the SBC Box & CPU?? Then hook it up like the MMD requires... So if anyone knows how to change modes or perhaps reset it that would be prime cause im lost on this one & its got me thinking like no other! Cheers guys!!!!!!! Please Help!

Matt

I have had the same problem, I have been over everything, and using another I-color SBC to solve what is wrong. I am fairly sure it’s the small battery inside the hand controller, it’s so the controller doesn’t lose your settings when it’s powered down. It makes sense that Blitz would do this as a safety measure, I just wish they listed it in the manual. Anyway looks like an easy fix two wires, and a very small thin battery, something an electronics store would have. 
the battery is located on the inside of the rear cover, it’s glued onto the cover, so be careful when you take the cover apart, the two wires are very thin. 
So you can be sure it’s not the solenoid and it’s not the SBC ecu or a boost leak.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
