Are these site trust worthy and is it in australian dollars cauz the prices seem too good to be true.

not sure about greenline, but nengun is in aussie dollars and i've bought a fair few things from them, so yes they are trustworthy :nuke: sometimes they take awhile to send the goods, but they are generally good with email responses, and their prices are the cheapest i've seen! :)

just a quick question about the safc2; i was reading that they can display boost pressure so could it be used as an accurate boost gauge?

im looking at getting one from negun also, how many people are looking at getting one? should do a group buy :(

from what i have read on this site i think that the safc is realy only any good if you dont plan on modding your car to much. they wont run much bigger injectors so if you are thinkng of upgradeing your turbo later dont bother as you will need injectors as well. the reason you see so many for sale again is because they have there limits that are passed quite quickly. but they are a good unit.

another cheaper option is to get one of the Jaycar digital fuel adjuster kits.. these are exactly the same and will do the same job if not slightly better. the jaycar unit has more load points than the apexi across the board but the later moddle safc2 has a full throttle setting which is said to be pretty handy. there was a group buy on these recently and the unit plus hand controler was selling for around the $100. for the DIY king well worth it.

here is a link to some more info. there is a lot of reading but most of it is on the boost controler so scim over that and have a read of the DFC.

this is correct, ive got one installed and now ive reached my power limits with my new aftermarket turbo and now need to get a power fc, fuel pump and injectors to achieve more power..

wont help too much on economy as it is tuned to decrease fuel ratios at over 60% throttle, and most of the time u drive the car at under that percentage.. this is how its tuned on mine anyways, depends on wat kind of tune u get..

either way, i was happy with it so far, increased a bit of power and overall performance, but like i said its limited to wat i want to achieve thats why im goin to be selling it soon and purchasing either a power fc or microtech..

They are definatly worht it. I had mine tuned this morning, First run 147rwkw with map all over the place. Then we played arround with fuel pressure and got it up to 165rwKw and a good place to start, 3 hours later managed to get a peak of [email protected] psi BUT massive spikes as the boost controller could not do it's job. So backed off to about 10psi and amanaged a nice [email protected] psi.

THE SAFC II made a hudge differance, and littel by little the power came up SO i think for $350 plus tunning, well worth the money.

Mods are, SAFC II, FMIC, Dump and exhaust 3", HKS pod, bleed valve boost controller, FPR, and a new pump, mine died.

here is the proof, as you can see the boost sux.

so it a worthwhile mod then? whats the average power gain using the safc2? seems some people get 10kw and other 30-40kw.

depends on ur other mods, eg intercooler, POD, exhaust systems, turbo upgrades etc.

does the safc2 display boost and is it accerate?

no it doesnt display boost pressure..

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
