Hey guys, I’ve ordered a Blitz dual sbc type r boost controller (apparently very well regarded).

Just wondering where you guys stash the unit? As I try to run as defect free as I can. I was thinking perhaps in the ash tray, if it’ll fit – I don’t know any recommendations.

Has anyone had any trouble with police spotting the black solenoid pack?

I've removed my ashtray and put my controller unit there. I've thought about trying to mod the ashtray ) so it sits on the top part (the metal) so when you pull the ashtray the unit pops up with it.

I'm not sure if it's possible or even if it will fit but I'll be having a look at something nifty.. till then I've double sided taped some velcro on it and the place where the ashtray sits, so when the ashtray is removed I can velcro it.. If i need to I can push it back into the console and it's not visible.

Can't help you with the solenoid but don't assume because it's visible it's not stock looking, it all depends on how and when you mount it.. If it's mounted with pink hoses and zip ties... well.. If it's mounted with screws and black hoses and looks like it's meant to be there... :)

It can be stashed infront of the fuse box and is hidden by the cover.

Hiding it should be enough, a police search of your car (on the side of the road) can only be done with your permission. They can look under seats and on the floor (without permission) but they are not allowed to dismantle things.

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
