I'm thinking of getting an Apexi Neo to improve my aweful fuel economy and due to the fact that its too hard for find a PFC and a reasonable cost. I have heard the Neo does not have a knock sensor like the old SAFCII, but I have noticed in the specs that it has a Karmann sensor readout. Will this display the level of knocking when connected to an RB25DET?

Im pretty sure Karman sensors have nothing to do with Nissan Airflow meter equipped cars. My Old SAFC blue screen has the wire for Karman readings but it doesnt get hooked up.

Please correct me if im wrong.

Cheers

Chris

no it wont, for rb25det u dont use the karman sensor wire. If you where to wire it up to knock to attempt to get a knock read out it wont work. I had the same dilemea when i purchased a neo, best bet is get a safc2 that has knock read out or go all the way and get a aftermaket ecu

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might get an E-Manage Ultimate then. They are not too much more $ and can do a lot more stuff anyway. I would love to go for a full ECU solution but I can't find a PFC anywhere for a good price :laugh:

There was a PFC wiht handcontrolle rfor 1k second hand on the sau forums today. !! I know htey are expensive compared to new price 3 months ago.

Good luck wiht what u end up with mate, make sure u get it tuned by some one reputable that isnt going to over time susequently causing it to blow up.

Yep I saw that, it was for R33 though, I need an R34 one :happy: Think I will just order an E-Manage Ultimate from Nengun and start looking for a good tuner in Perth.

SLIDE is selling link ecus, direct plug ins as i understand. I dont know any thing about them or how they compare but might be worth a look?

Will look into them - thanks. Thing is if I get a complete replacement ECU I still want it to run the car well like the PFC does.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
