Just wondering if anyone has one of these things?

Do they operate effectively?

What extactly can you do with a unit that only adjusts 8 points or 500rpm on the AFM signal?

How big are they?

Sorry about all the questions peoples, but I have read that alot of people have these things on their skylines and I was wondering what ll the hype was about?

Thanks in advance!

I got one. I have the 2nd version so you can adjust 12 points at 200rpm increments. Theyre not very big, cbf measuring it up but i'd say about a coke can in dimensions...

Worth the money if u can get one cheap. I got a fair stack of power on my SR20DET cos it was running pig rich before the SAFC fixed things up!!

I gained 25rwkw by installing one of these SAFC's for $400 plus much better fuel economy. Even though you can only set points at 500rpm it averages out the changes across all revs to make an even curve. Sfitzy, skylines run incredibly rich and this wastes fuel and drains power. By tuning a SAFC you'll get a lot of power! They are pretty small, here's mine: http://www.performance-mod.com/nuke/html/m...ews&new_topic=5

Just go to www.apexi-usa.com and download the instructions for the original SAFC. The new one is basically the same and you can figure out the new options by urself anyway. Btw, the wiring is exactly the same, besides the additional purple wire which is for the knock sensor!

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
