went to a dyno tuning place today and using the apexi power fc hand controller not all the settings could be altered (for some reason certain display screens you couldn't change. we think it may be because the car is not running a stock air flow sensor it is actually running 2 and this options is not avavilable on the controller to set it up properly. it would let us change the fuel on low revs but nothing with turbo's active). so we need to get the software to hook up the laptop to it. do u guys know where you can get the appropriate software? once i get that i'll be set.

cheers

yes its been tuned by croydon by the previous owner. some of the menus u bring up should be filled with readings etc are all 0's.

Have you had your Power FC tuned by someone else in the past? It sounds like they may have locked it

the cost of buying the software and link box would be far more than the cost of geting croydon to tune it.

If you plan on using the software and link box a fair bit then the investment would be worth it.

Workshops will sometimes lock it if you ask for warranty on their tune. Otherwise you could change the settings, blow up the engine as a result, then change the settings back and claim warranty. It is simply protection for them when they give warranty.

:P cheers :whistling:

yeah. i dunno. but if i was say a large workshop that does lots of skylines and silvias and most had the same mods. ie gtr pfc 1 bar. etc etc id probably load up the same map from the car i just tuned. and simply fine tune it.

and charge the 4hrs for "tuning" not the 1.5 hours max. so yeah tuners lock it so you cant fiddle with them and its another way to make the customer come back.

and its that last point that shits me.

yeah only thing is i don't leave near croydon... so i'll have to work something out. might have to drive up there kind of annoying but. doesn't seem to be tuned properly anyway but yet i'll be taking it there to get unlocked :D any of you guys from wollongong?

actually another question would be.... once locked do u need the specific software to hook it up on a laptop to unlock it or can you unlock it using the hand controller. ?????????????????????

So does anyone know how to unlock a powerfc getting mine installed tomorrow and tuned damn will be spewing if its locked can I reinitialise it maybe to reset it to stock with no lock? anyone know?

You can unlock it from the laptop software, no password is needed as far as i know, its just a lock/unlock button. You can't unlock it from the hand controller at all. If your map is showing all 0's then its locked.

there is a bug as part of the unlock with datalogit

if the injector screen is locked, when you unlock it the values are lost

that is you can't unlock them and keep the values, they get reset to defaults

i am fairly certain the AFM ramp is the same, if unlocked the previous values are lost.

i am unsure if its the FC hiding them and resetting or if its a datalogit bug

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
