    Faq: Apexi Powerfc - Frequently Asked Questions

    in Tutorials / DIY / FAQ

    Posted

    Im sorry to be digging up an old post, but I have been trying to find some information on the EL hand controllers and in particular the issue of the screen going dim and becoming un readable.

    My car is running an R32 GTR Power FC and 4 years ago I swapped my original hand controller for a new EL hand controller as it was way easier to read while driving.

    I have noticed the last time I used the car the readout was very dim, even with brightness at 100% and I just went to start it and give it a run and the display is now almost unreadable, especially in the sun. My car gets stuff all use, in the 4 years its probably had no more than 20 drives, so fair to say, Im very dissapointed with the lifespan of the display!

    Has anyone had this issue and how did you fix it?

     

    Thanks and sory again for diging up an old thread.

    Power FC EL hand controller issues

    Hi Guys, 

    I have a power FC in my car and  I replaced my original hand controller with an OELED? hand controller a couple of ears ago. My car might be used 4 times a year at most and I noticed the hand controller screen has become really dim and almost impossible to read.

    From a quick google I found this was a bit of an issue and I was wondering what has anyone done to fix it?

     

    Thanks.

    Power FC speed reading adjustment? Is it possible?

    Hi all, Ive got an R31 with an RB26 in it with a power FC. Im also running an RB25det gearbox so my speedo is a mile out! at 100 KMH it showing 80 kmh and the stock speedo is never fantastic. I was looking at hooking up the speed signal from the gearbox to the Power FC, and using the speed reading on the hand controller. But, I was wondering can the speed reading be adjusted on the hand controller to be accurate?

    I know I can just use a GPS speedo, which I am using my GPS for speed on the car, but id like a better option.

     

    Thanks.

    Perhaps this image can help, I came across this on the VIC roads website while studying for my RWC licence. There is a VSI for modified cars and it states the correct way of measuring the minimum ride height. The 100mm minimum is only valid for 1m before and after the center line of any given axle. I have not used this to argue an infringement but I know those who have and had it removed.

    Out here in Croydon there is a train hobby shop just off Dorset road, and down the back they have little cars you can buy to go on the train set. They have a jap car section. No GTR's, but they do have c110 skylines, and R32 GT 4 doors with hubcaps and all, and in hot wheels size.

    My son has a collection on his shelf of every skyline you can get from safeway ETC. All are R32, R34 and R35, I have never seen R33 Hotwheels cars.

    Good Place To Have Audi Serviced

    Audi dealership is the best option... They have up to date information on all Audi's. They will carry out campaign's (recalls) that you don't even know about until you book in for a service. Software updates usually.. All the technicians have a lot of experience on audi's so they wont butcher your connectors or over tighten the fragile aluminum sump.. Oh and have you ever tried to take off the engine cover on the A3 2.0t ? (assuming your mate's isn't the 1.8t) 90% of people who haven't done it before will break it..

    PS.. I'm completely biased because i work for an Audi dealer. I also realize that dealers are very expensive but if your mate can afford to buy an Audi in the first place i assume he can afford to pay for servicing.

    Oh and NismoR31Jet is right about voiding warranty due to not following correct servicing procedures..

    Hey man, Which Audi you work at?

    All I can say is in the long run, the dealer is a better bet, and not because I work for one. I work for VW, and there are things like servicing the DSG ETC that you cant do without the VW/Audi gear. They have to be serviced every 60,000. And if they go wrong and they have not been serviced exactally to specs, you can kiss the best part of 15k away for a new DSG. Things like the Haldex unit (the awd diff on Golfs, Passat, Audi Passenger cars ETC) need to be serviced every 30kI had one on an R32 Golf let go at 75,000 kms, serviced by a local garage, never had the diff serviced, the diff alone was 8k.

    Just food for thought.
