ok

a mate bought a brand new hand controller from kudos - for his sr20det - hand controller came - plugged it in and it froze on the apexi logo.

wrong controller :/ - so sent it back and got another one from somewhere else.

finally came today (second hand unit) - plugged it in and now there is nothing - no freezing, no light up, no picture or writing. nothing. it was supposedly to suit a sr20det.

if any hand controller is plugged in i was under the impression that even if it is incorrect, it will still start up and then freeze on the apexi logo?????

hand controller number is FCCNT 9805 - 0023

BUT!!!!! - i plugged it into my ap engineering rb20det power fc - and it lights up and i can view everything and it works perfectly!!!

My mates SR power FC serial no. is PFC SR202R 9812-033 . this was also bought second hand. And my ap engineering power fc is brand new from box about 2months.

So i was under the impression that brand new units and older units were not compatible with the older handcontrollers???

so wtf??? anyone got any ideas on this situation - as to why the hand controller isnt even lighting up and freezing with this one

thanks

-Matt

According to Paul's FAQ, Apexi product chart says that for an SR20, compatible FC Commanders have a serial FCC NT (1st gen) or FCC FN or FCC3 (later releases).

So it looks like your mate has the PFC that requires a FCC FN or FCC3 serial FC Commander.

let me know once you sort it out, will update the faq if something is wrong

if its not even powering up some else is bogus. if the hand controller is wrong it fails post diag and locks at the apexi logo. open the hand controller and see if its burnt or smells burnt. i suspect its dead or something else is busted.

well thats all it is worth to me, i will pull it apart and salvage the screen and anything else, assuming they arent toast. try and return it back to the supplier as DOA and get your money back, if not throw it in the bin

sorry guys the HC is fine its the pfc thats stuffed i.e water damaged

it doesnt seem to want to power up the HC although the PFC still seems to run the car fine for now

and the HC runs fibe on Huddys FC

Edited by 1400r

bit odd, maybe the pfc socket for the hand controller is toast?

where is the "water damage" idea coming from?

when u open up the PFC do you see any burnt or damaged stuff? does it smell? check the pins running to the PS2 socket for the hand controller

hey ryan post a pic up !

the water damaged seemed to off come in through the plugs for the handcontroller (from memory)

it is just odd that with another hand controller that 1400r had before it DID load up and freeze on the logo, now with this one - it does nothing (BUT works perfect on my rb20 AP PFC)

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
