I have a 2-Stage boost controller which has a little switch just near my steering column which i want to get re-located so its not as obvious but also so its easier to get to when i "need" it (you try leaning fully forward, moving your need, flicking a switch, making sure your knee doesnt flick it off all while "in the heat of the moment" hehe).

You can see a pic here

What I want to know is tomorrow i've got an Auto Electrician doing abit of work to my car and I wanted to see if he was able to re-locate the switch for me? (thats my 1st Q). The place i want it to be relocated to is the switch just below where my phone is in the above pic (I believe its for fog lights or something, whatever it does its not needed).

Obviously I have no idea about this stuff as u can tell so yeah thats basically what im wanting to know if an auto electrician can do.

Thats a common spot, and where I had mine located... its good there, just have to reach down to flick it.

Oh yes, he can do it - its an easy job - just make sure he doesn't charge you too much for a very simple job.

I'd probably give you a hand (30 min job maybe?) if I was in Sydney..You just have to take the centre console out and reroute the wiring

I'll actually be removing the drivers side door upholstery and the center console for him so basically all he has to do is re-solder about i dunno maybe 10 wires all up (to get my passenger door working again).

He said the door would cost $30-80 depending on if it was just soldering or needed parts as well. If i can get the lot done for <$100 i'll be happy.

    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
