Haha Do we have an attendance list? What time will be be departing?

Also after some more research I've found in rare cases that after excessive time spent in the heat that some avc-rs have stopped working but have started to work again once they have cooled down.. Unfortunately that hasn't happened in this case. Some one also found that some of the components have melted off the PCB but have once again worked once re soldered on

any more on this? i need a new rad too, its a toss up between the racepace and Koyo

also forgot to mention i would like the Black edition

Na I won't go anything less then the apexi now.. Been spoilt for too long with too many features.. No warranty mate, few years old now

Hi guys Recently fried my avcr display unit Looking to either buy the whole kit or just the display.. Obviously must be in good working order as ill wanna test it Let me know if you have this gear, pm me or text Cheers 0432528844

Hmmm I'm guessing it would be highly in likely that apexi would provide sick a service.. And if they did imagine the cost! Lol It's sounding like a lost cause isn't it ... Arg, will see if I can find a second hand kit and just use the display Cheers for the replys guys

Na apexi AVC-R mate... What's another 500 for a new one

My boost controller just shit itself,... Oh well it's just gate pressure for this weekend .... Boring

Hmmm just took another look, there's a few spots on the PCB where the solder is a bit brown and discoloured, I thought it may have been possible that it turned brown from the initial soldering ... Maybe?? Any ideas on what individual component is what and how to check it with a multi meter?? If I can confirm that it's completely stuffed ill buy another, but I'd rather figure out what's wrong and try fix it Also that large blue area on the board is just glare from when I took the photo

Cheers for the reply GTSBoy I'm fairly certain that its insulation glue on IC4... As for that discolouration ill go check it now.. Looks like it shows up more in photos

Thanks Paul

righto, ive managed to get a hold of a multi meter and test the unit for its power and its two earths... everthing is good to go in that reguard so there is something going on inside the circuit board thats stopping the screen from working.... as far as i can see all the soldering looks good so im going to go on with testing the components on the board... i dont 100% know what im doing so if i post some pics up hopefully someone will come to the party and tell me what i need to do thanks i understand this is probably in the wrong section, if it needs to be moved so be it

Yea I think that's what happened Nick, ill pull it apart again today though i dunno if ill find anything obviouse as I've stared at it for an hour already.. I just need to find one I can borrow to be sure that's what my issue is.. I don't think you can buy just the display itself either

As topic suggests.. I need to buy an Apexi AVC-R display screen.. Even if I can just borrow one so i can diagnose the problem I would be very grateful. I'm located in Sydney, but I'm in Brisbane ATM.. If anyone can come to the party that would be great.. 0432528844 Thanks

Forgot to mention its a black edition.. Dunno if the blue edition would plug in and work

Ok I've done a bit of a search and couldn't find anything that really helps me out here. I have an AVC boost controller, it stopped working about 6 weeks ago and I traced it back to a dodgy Earth..in this case I could still see the lights on behind the buttons on the digital display so I knew something simple was up.. Easy fix Now I have an issue where I'm getting absolutely nothing from my digital display. My theory is that when sitting in the sun the display got so hot that it fried some of the electronics in the display. (It was actually really hot to touch ) Once it cooled down I pulled it apart but cannot find anything visibly wrong with the circuit boards/diodes etc... Does any one have any other ideas what could be wrong? Possibly another display I could borrow to determine the fault Cheers

Oh god (face palm)

Excellent. Surely using an aftermarket stiffer bush is going to give you a better ride then a 23 year old flogged out standard bush yes?

This is also a valid question for me ^^^

I've got one.. Works great

Shibby... I'm in

Sunday would be better but I can work with Saturday if that suits everyone else Morning or evening?

Sounds good is there fuel stops along the way haha

Next Sunday.. Stuffed if I know where haha
