MrChow Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have a D1 spec throttle controller that I bought earlier this year from eBay. When I eventually got round to fitting it i found it didn't function. I only got the odd flicker... As it had been a fair few months since I bought it, I couldn't exactly send the thing back. Being an electrical engineer I had a look at trying to find the problem. I summised that it had 12v going in to the controller but no 12v going from there to the display unit.

Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi, So what happened to 1 year warranty? Did you buy it used or new? If you bought it new, I might be able to help as we are authorised dealers in UK. Feel free to PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChow Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi Adrian. I bought it used from a guy on eBay. left it a month or so before I fitted it and when I came to do so it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Do you have a DE or HR car? I believe these only work on DE's but I'm willing to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hi, My little bits worth, I have the same controller, when i initially installed the D1 all i got was the same as you reported a few flickers, after a bit of web searching i found out the connector block between the controller and your accelerator can be pushed together 180 deg out, As soon as i pushed them together and cable tied, all works correctly, Wondered why there was a large cable tie in the box A bit peculiar, what i thought was the logical way to connect the blocks together, Wasn't, i had to turn one block 180 deg, push together, then Cable Tie. Now All Good, Works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 (edited) This is a good installation guide i used, thanks to Hodaka http://www.350z-uk.c...tle +controller The connector block i'm referring to is in step 3 (photo), he has used sellotape to hold them together where a cable tie can be used. Hope this helps Edited September 5, 2016 by Maddog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hey chow. Just wanted to let you know I got it working, was a bit of a pita but all good in the end. Was it fitting the connector upside down as per the guides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYLZ Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hey chow. Just wanted to let you know I got it working, was a bit of a pita but all good in the end. Was it fitting the connector upside down as per the guides? There is a small white plastic piece inside the clip that seemed to be melted stuck to another bit of plastic. Had to take the connector apart, heated a sharp blade and cut the bit that was causing the problem off. Then followed the guide to fit it and hey presto I managed to get it on. I clipped the connectors on the right way round though but did have to use the cable ties as there wasn't a tight connection. Not had much time to test it out as it's been snowing but had a wee shot on eco 7 and sp4 and sp10.all I could say was wow, what a difference from such a little box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
