Hey All,

My S2 Stagea has a problem with it's Xanavi head unit. It seems to power up and beep, i can control the temp and the radio works, but the screen is totally blank. I have had the car for about a month and one random day the screen turned on and everything worked perfectly (all be it in Japanese) but then when i turned off the car the screen went blank and it hasn't turned on since.

So it seems like the screen works fine, but there is a power connection or something somewhere.

Does anybody have ANY idea how to solve this? Is it a common problem? Is there anybody I can sent it to and get it fixed (i'm in the UK but happy to ship to Aus)

It's such a bummer as the aircon etc all operate through this so i can't just remove it.

DOH!

Any help, much appreciated!

Cheers

Chris

Hey Guishnu

I can only suggest to remove the entire unit and look in the back. There's quite a few plugs, maybe one has become dislogded and it's not recieving an ignition or power signal. I removed mine recently and noticed there's a fan at the back, which i assume is to keep the display cool as it heats up. It might be that at some point your display has overheated. Keep in mind these units can be 12yo or more.

Good luck and keep us posted if you solve it

Cheers

Hi, just got a s2 stagea with the xanavi headunit too. When i went on the freeway (100km/h) i noticed my screen turned blank and stayed blank after a few min. I could use the aircon, turn on/off and and the other button on the climate light up. 2 min after slowing down from 100km/h the screen came back as normal. Not sure if this is of any relevance to your fault but it may be something to check, somehow.

Totally randomly, it has started working today. May be something to do with the weather getting hot here in the UK. I'm wondering if it's some damp or moisture in the system somewhere?

Weird.

Now from past experience with my old R32 with the aircon controls and other electronics. Nissan's PCBs are prone to what its called "dry solder" issues(when solders become loose with the components due to age). What I ended up doing is re-heating the old solder to make it stick to the components again. Not sure if this would help but surely

Nissan would have improved their soldering techniques by now!

Yeah, there is a problem with it somewhere. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't :-(

It actually only seems to work when it's hot outside...

Anybody selling a second hand one?

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.

    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
