Once you install the safc it will just run the stock fuel map because no correction has been applied to the load points. You can have it fully installed and driving around and all it will do is display values such as throttle, air flow, knock etc. If you install a brand new safc it is fine to drive around with it untill it gets tuned because it hasn't changed anything. Otherwise if it is used just check that in the 'settings' onder 'high throttle' and 'low throttle' everything is on zero correction and you will be sweet to drive. Don't have to worry about disconnecting it etc. :)

Ah awesome mate, thanks heaps.

I hooked it up to a power convertor and have been fiddling around with the settings to get an idea of how to set it up! Very interesting, and has a lot of features. Slowly getting the hang of it.

I will reset it, and check the settings under high throttle and low throttle before I start the car up.

Will have a go at installing it sometimes early next week when the car arrives.

Thanks for your help.

Go to www.apexi.com.

Select the picture on the left (America)

Select 'Support' at the top right of screen

Select 'Installation Manuals'

Select 'SAFC II Instuctional Manual (401-A911)'

That might be what you're after

Thanks for that man.

FOG35 was nice enough to PM me the 2 x PDF files for installtion and configuration.

Thanks,

Abu

Are you saying plug the male and female plugs that go into the AFM into them selves?

Thanks,

Abu

When you check the instructions, you'll notice all the wires are only tapped into to get a reading from, like throttle postion, knock etc.

Although, the one wire that has the Air/Fuel signal is the one getting altered so it's not just tapped into, you CUT it in an appropriate spot and route the signal thru the SAFC to fool the Nissan ECU.

So get everything done, cut it and attatch the male female plugs supplied which is then supposed to be plugged, 1 end into the SAFC, and the other end out of the SAFC.

But if you're not using it yet, just plug the female/male plugs you made up back into the original position, so that the wire and it's signal is unaltered (except for 2 plugs now in the middle) and not going thru the SAFC at all.

Everything else will be fine and showing the other readings.

The throttle pos sensor is the best :P

BUT, as someone else said, there's somewhere in the menu to turn the maps off (which i didn't know) so just do that if you want.

Have fun!

Ah I see now sort of! Its making more sense. I will have to read over that again and follow the steps in the wiring diagram to ensure that I get it hooked up correctly.

Pretty straight forward though, wont take long at all.

So if the SAFC II is reset or is brand new and never used or altered, I can plug it in and it will run my standard fuel map unaltered, as long as the 'settings' under 'high throttle' and 'low throttle' is on zero correction?

Just confirming before I break some shit! lol

Thanks guys, been a really big help.

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
