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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
