Hi guys, my mods are as stated in my sig. Recently i had my safcII apparently 'tuned' and i would have assumed that in the higher revs especially, reffering to high throttle mode, that the correction would be made to make the car run leaner rather than richer. I found my car was hitting a fuel cut or something at around 10psi on cold nights which never happened before. So i checked the setting of high throttle and this is what i found.

1400 -3%

1600 -16%

2200 0%

2400 -1%

3400 +3%

4000 +11%

4600 +13%

5200 +17%

5800 +6%

6400 +16%

7000 +10%

7600 +10%

Now would this explain why i am hitting this fuel cut? cos the ecu now thinks its getting even more air than it rwally is?? Unfortunatley the 'tuner' never provided me with afr's or anything but you would assume with the mods i have and standard management that the car would already be runnign hella rich... like 300 km's per tank (fairly heavy throttle at times though :) ) Do these settings seem right for the mods i have? - i would have expected (-) correction in th higher revs...

See thats what i mean, you are having fuel taken out whilst mine is being put in!! i rekon the guy screwed me over- i put the seetings back to 0 correction and i reckon the car pulls heaps better.

Ur correction setting are all over the place, im assuming ur stock gyno graph is not smooth as well. This would indicate in my limited opinion that there are some other issues with the cars performance and ur tuner has just tried to band aid it by tuing the safc. I would get it soreted first with no safc corrections then tune it again. Should have a fairly smooth curve for a skyline. what conncernes me is the correctiosn u have at low rpm before 400rm, also seems like he has added fuel? which is unusalus for a r33 unless there are other issues

Personally i think the guy had little to know idea what he was doin, cos the power curve before the tune was quite smooth and the one after was all over the shop. I'm gonna get a different tuner to look at it, then go back to where i originally got it done and see just what the hell is going on - cos i feel ripped off. I wound the corrections back to zero and in reckon the car pulls better! i will not be going back to these people...

  • 1 month later...

I have had the standard tale of wow, i got a hiflow turbo, cheep. bolted on and heaps a boost but a big miss.....

installed SAFC, miss started to lessen but still present @4000 rpm...reduced the fuel..

chased that down to bad coil, replaced it and taped all ciols.

big miss @4000 gone, but small miss @5000....

booked in for dyno soon but very interested to know what others SAFC are running@

where is your Hi / Low % set?

previously my settings were all + across the rev range, never had the - correction. Until recently a tuner made it all to - corrections. On a cold night , pushing it a little, below 5k revs, my knock was 111 :S

Where is your Hi / low throttle position set?

What was the max -XX% set and and at what rev?

Sorry to be a pain but i am interested in this.

the settings you posted are a long long long long way off. The settings r33 mad posted look like a good default setup.

I currently run these settings from memory:

2000 -5

3000 -5

4000 0

4500 -2

5000 -9

5500 -13

6000 -11

6500 -14

I also have an SITC which is dialed in to give an extra 5 clicks of timing at 4000 rpm to help clear out the R&R. however it is still noticeable on cooler evenings.

Yeh i know they were thats why i was so confused about the whole thing. Anyway that was a while ago, turns out the the 02 sensor and the fuel pump were both pretty screwed when the first 'tuner' so he called himself, tried to tune it, which is why it was so all over the place and had positive correction. I took it elsewhere to get checked out and got a new pump and sensor, with a re-tune of the safc and it all runs good now. simular correction to above.

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
