Alrighty. I just put my Power FC in, and unplugged the SAFC I had... now the engine will trun over, and start, then stall immediatly. If I leave the SAFC plugged in it start though.

Is this because the AFM goes through the SAFC before the computer? So I'll need to completely take the SAFC's loom out, and figure out how to wire the AFM back in?

or is it simpler?

Cheers/

pretty much...

you can leave it plugged in though.. and change all the tuning settings back to 0%...

Also if you reset it back to factory defaults (with the init function) you'll need to enter in the cylinder and afm setting i think..

remove the safc completey and restore back the afm wiring correctly.

then make sure you follow the self idle learn procedure correctly otherwise you may be stuck with a start-stall tune on the powerFC. the FAQ in my signature tells you how to perform the self idle correctly

read the FAQ

I have read the FAQ, the light went out after driving. The throttle sensor seemed to be the one playing up - I'll get it checked.

Just a couple of queries. When I advance that setting it says to +2 in the FAQ, my knock count goes way overboard, so I'm guessing I shouldn't do that. also, my air flow meter seemed to max out. I know I shouldn't be revving it to high. but I jsut wanted to check it out.. and it maxes out at about 5,500. Any ideas on that? Cheers.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
