Hey all,

I've got the current blue screen Apexi RSM and have set up all the functions without any dramas.

The problem I'm having is when using the est. power function it only gives me a reading of around 37ps (27kw)

I'm just wondering if I have set anything up wrong or if anyone expereaned similar problems?

It's installed in my Nissan R31 RB30e+t where by all other functions (rpm, speed readouts ect all work fine.)

Anyone?

Cheers,

Brad.

you need to;

make sure the g-sensors are calibrated correctly

make sure vehicle weight is correct (or as close as possible)

make sure the speed pulse is correct (and you get correct km/h reading)

make sure the rev signal is correct (correct rpm is display)

Well thanks for that PaulR33,

I dont have the optional G-sensor so that could be why its not working correctly.

Although I still do get a power reading without it, but it is not working the way it should I presume.

Speed display and rpm are working fine.

Hmmm might just wait till Saturdays dyno run and 10psi :mellow:

im not sure what functions use the gsensor other than lateral G display. i believes it uses that information to correct certain values but not sure how much it is needed. i dont know where it would be getting the power signal from without the gsensors

Yeah it's me buggered too hah.

I was under the immpression the g sensor just compensated for wheelspin for acceleration times, didnt really think it would be able tp measure power in any way, after all all it measures is g forces???

PaulR33 could you tell me what your power loss is set on as that may fix some of my issues.

Cheers.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
