It might help if you tell people what you intend to use the car for....

.....or at least what sort of power you're after.

Otherwise it's kind of like asking someone where they think you should go on holiday, when they have no idea what you like. :)

Yeah, with all those mods you're going to want management. I'm guessing that your rear bar is filthy right now above the exhaust.

A SAFC is an Air/Fuel controller. It splices into the wire that the air flow meter reads from, and modifies the signal going to the ECU. By fooling the ECU, it allows you to adjust the mixture.

While not ideal (a proper ECU would be better, since you can then adjust timing as well) it would be a good start. But its also a dead-end stopgap fix - it'd be better on a light tune car with little to no mods. You can't make as much power as your mods will give you since you can't tune all the parameters, and if you continue to modify then it won't give your tuner the control they need to set up your engine properly. And since an ECU does everything a SAFC does and more, when you do replace the ECU your SAFC becomes dead weight.

I'd suggest saving up and buying a PowerFC. It may cost a lot more, but you get a lot more.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
