mr180,

I just checked the Commander manual and it does say that the exhaust temp check light is used when there is a faulty sensor, however it goes on to say you have to use the commander to find out which sensor is faulty and replace it.... Not sure what is causing the commander to freeze on the Logo, is it brand new or second hand? Have you made sure the harness is nice and tightly plugged in??

Not sure if this is right or not, but I have heard that when you connect the PFC for the first time you have to deselect the boost control option if you are not running the boost controller or you get sensor errors as the PFC cannot find it (boost controller). If you do not have the boost control package, please disregard this post

Hope it helps

Steve

EVL R33,

Could you post that PDF file to [email protected] thanks.

The PowerFC I'm getting probably hasn't been used in a while, so that's why I'm thinking it could default back to the factory setting now. But I'll have to wait and see. Thanks anyway mate.

EVL R33,

It's second hand. Its plugged in tightly. The car starts up ok and idles... I dont think its the boost controller causing the problem as if it was it wouldnt start at all and I could at least turn the boost controller option off by using the hand controller.

Could it be the wrong commander?

Were the 3 commanders all off Nissan's? The info I have says that all Nissan power fc commanders apart from the r34 gtt are the same.

That can't be rite because Chris had a r33 gtst with a power fc He sold it and got a r34 gtt and used the same commander for it .

Sofar i have worked out that the commanders are not all compatable the older power fc's can only use the older ver commanders but the newer ver power fc's can use old or new commanders:eek1:

You mean that the Apexi logo stay there? well, wrong commander for you..I have same thing happen before..

Silver, PDF is on its way... It won't reset itself, it uses ROM to store the settings so even with the power off for ages it should still keep the tuned settings. Reset it as soon as you plug it in just to be safe..

mr180, it does sound like you have the wrong commander. Nengun sells them second hand pretty cheap so it might be worth while picking one up, that way you never have to run around looking to borrow one...

Also you do have to turn the boost control off if you aren't using the PFC Boost controller, but that's simple once the commander is working...

Thanks for your help!

Ok, so I guess I have a new controller and an old pfc... I still need to get a commander that works to see if the pfc is ok. If it's the wrong pfc then I will get a new one off Nengun. I'm getting another commander to try this week, so I will just have to wait and see if that one works!:D

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?

      S15 Spec R

      It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
