describe what happens please

does the inj/ign etc all show zero's ?

when you do DATA INIT, choose Yes (non default item) then press NEXT and then reboot the car

does it retain the previous settings?

i could post up default BNR32 maps, but it would by far easier to fix the root cause

if it wont DATA INIT, then its likely it wont save other changes too

so let's clarify and fix that up first - so as above, try DATA INIT the way listed above

The unit is used. the inj/ing settings do not show zeros. It retains what it was even when shut down and the battery is pulled and residual electricity is drained from the system. Changes I have made prior to the DATA INIT are retained.

when i DATA INIT and reboot the car, the settings are retained. Although after I did the 30 min idle it seems to idle better.

Thank for your help or at least trying.

this is a known issue, its covered in the PFC FAQ

view it from my signature and then look for "ECCS"

there is a known relay issue, and when the issue occurs, changes in the PFC tune are not saved at power off

which also explains why the DATA INIT doesn't clear, read it, and it tells you the correct fix

when you key off, the PFC needs an additional 1-2 seconds to write any run-time changes to NVRAM

if the install is shagged or the car isnt wired correctly, the PFC isnt given the extra 1-2 seconds required at key off

the end result is, at key off, the PFC doesnt get time to commit changes to NVRAM, so it results in a Read-only PFC or a "unsavable PFC" like what you are seeing

Thanks Paul. I had read your FAQ but didn't realize that the ignition needed to be cycled after the DATA INIT. I'll give it a try and keep the ignition off for at least a few seconds.

Sorry to bring this back from death, but a friend's evo VII is having this issue. Both Ign/Inj maps are filled up with zero's and any change i make gets errased as soon as i press the PREV button.

I only have the commander to tune.

How can i fix this???

THanks a lot in advance guys.

locked for sure.

yep as the others have said 0's on the hand controller for the maps is a locked powerfc tune.

find a local tuner who has apexi fc commander pro or datalogit and unlock it (simple tick box) and away you go.

i'll probably get from a friend a dattalogit box to use it with a laptop. But, how the heck do i unlock it? Is it a simple feature?

thanks a lot guys for your answeres.

yep

it's just a tickbox, no magic, no password

but sure to note, there are some things that are not restored when a tune is unlocked

be careful if this car has injectors that are non-std, and other key non std items such as AFM or map sensor

datalogit has some bugs where it mangles up the values sometimes when a tune is unlocked

i dont know why it does it, it just does its a bug with datalogit.

Thanks a lot paul. I'll post up as soo as i try this out.

I really like the power FC but i also really hate it to have this kind of problems.

I'm experiencing a problem now with a MY00 WRX that doesn't save when the key is off using the commander. It's not an engine swap, everything is stock (electrical) but i'm having this issue.

Once again, thanks a lot for the support mate.

Cheers.

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
