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)

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
    • If I drove to a typical petrol station, what would my choices of fuel be? 
    • Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!
    • Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔
    • If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
