I want to back up the tune on a PowerFC but the injector and fuel settings are all showing up as zero on the hand controller. I assume this is some sort of copy protection put on by the tuner to stop people copying their tune, but I was wondering if there was an easy way around it?

Edit: I spent about half an hour searching before I wrote this post and couldn't find anything, and I didn't notice anything in the faq when searching for "locked". But about 2 minutes after I posted this, I kept clicking through the search results pages, and on page 18 I saw this post, which answers my question - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pf...em-t175791.html

So anyway, my new question is can I borrow someone's data logit for a few hours, and does anyone know what CRD's password is :(

its not a password, its just a tickbox option in the powerfc

there is an optional tuner string that you can set, but its not the password

you simply plug in datalogit, untick the tickbox and hit update

and the tune is unlocked

you should notify your tuner that it seems unacceptable to be locked out of your own tune that you paid for

after all its your intellectual property that you have paid and purchased - not theirs

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
