Its really easy,

Pull the kick panel off passenger side, un-screw the brackets from the ecu then un-screw the 10mm bolt in the middle of the blue wiring harness. Plug the Power FC in, it can only go in one way.

Make sure its done up fairly tight, as for boost controll kit it plugs into the side of the FC you'll understand when it arrives.

If you don't have the boost solinoid then you have to go into ETC > FUNCTION SELECT > the top one BOOST CONTROLL KIT > turn it off by pressing arrow.

anyone have troubles fitting the power fc into the old position?

Ive tried for about an hour trying to fit the power fc with handcontroller cable plugged in into the silver bracket (old ecu position), the ****ing thing wont go in

now its just sitting on the passenger floor...

are u mounting it with the hand controller plug that plugs into the socket on the powefc facing up or down, mine is facing up, hope you are mountign it the same way. i couldnt find a way to actually attach it to the bracket, but once you bolt the braket back in the powerfc doesnt move around, you also try cable ties or some tape as cameron said

in my GTR I just took the bottom off the old ecu (it has the two 'tabs' that bolt to the car) and put in on the power FC, then bolted it up where it came from. Kick panel just goes over that. Hand controller is still plugged in too.

      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 )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
