Hi all,

After purchasing my R33 about 2 months ago now.I have followed some modification guides to get more from my car.And im wondering what to do next.

Im not after huge power,just a nice consistant and reliable figure.

So far mods include: 3inch exhaust

3inch split dump pipe

Apexi pod filter(with alloy pod box)

tube and fin intercooler kit(will be fitted soon)

cushion button clutch kit(fitted next week)

And im running a constant 9psi

Im thinking of getting better spark plugs and a walbro fuel pump.Ofcoarse id like to get a power fc.But ive been looking at the apexi SAFC2.

All input appreciated.

CHEERS

Dave

if youre happy with the power output of the standard turbo then go with the SAFC and provided your coils are good, youd be getting close to 300hp on 12psi and for many people, thats enough for the occassional squirt.

gap your plugs to .8 from memory and your fuel pump should be good enough all though its always nice to know youve got a safety net in regards to flow should you replace it. Especially as theyre over 10 years old now.

Youve got all the other supporting mods there such as FMIC, cooler and clutch.

Whats controlling your boost? Those $22 spring bleed valves on this site would be ok for your application

Cool.Thanks mate very interesting stuff.Seeing as the power fc is now phased out i might purchase the SAFC2.

Id like to hear from people who have the same mods i have and has bought a SAFC2.I guess if its tuned right i would expect smoother power delivery and ofcoarse an increase in KW.

Where would i be able to purchase one at a good price?

Hey mate,

1. A Bosch 040 500hp intank is perfect

& will set you back $205 delievered

Australia Wide off Ebay.

2. Obviously, a stand alone ECU is much better

than an SAFC. Nevertheles, its still an upgrade.

My old set-up:

3" front pipe

4" HKS Dragger cat-back

Apexi SAFC-2

Apexi LM Intercooler

HKS Mushroom filter.

HKS EBC GEN3

It made 193rwkw on 10psi (stock boost)

198.9rwkw on 12psi

211.2rwkw on 14psi

I have a PFC now with a GT3071R.

I am selling the SAFC2, pm if interested.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Bill

Does the SAFC2 eliminate things like misfires and such?

It will get rid of r & r with proper tuning by not allowing the AFM to see the full 5.1V i think it is

Misfires will be due to your plug gap and/or coilpack condition.

Mine was tuned!

R/R mode would still occur during

cold night drag meets.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
