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.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
