Looking at a Apexi SAFC with loom and mount on ebay. According to the seller "It does not say anything about r34 Skyline, however, in the section about Skyline it says RB25DET year model 08/1993, it shows switch setting for that motor and location of ECU in the car. Also a wiring diagram for that ECU. " Does that mean it's alright for the RB25DET NEO stagea? It's a pretty old one with the dials, no screen as the pic shows.

Short answer, DONT get it :)

Look for the one with the blue screen. This is the SAFC2. These work much better than the old type (the one you mentioned).

You should be able to find one either on this forum or on ebay for around $200. The v1 of this model has buttons whilst the v2 has a knob. The v1 is what I have and will do the job fine or you can get the v2 for a bit more money and it gives you the option of 2 different maps and more tuning points.

Not long ago you could buy the v2 new (nengun.com?) for around $400ish I think...

If you buy it off this forum (like I did) you will be more likely to have all the correct wiring as well :)

Ok cool, it'll have to wait then. I should really get a turbo back zaust first though. I actually quite like the look of the standard twin pipes though.

I would also recomend trying to source an Apexi SITC (ignition timming controller) as well, because although the SAFC will allow you to adjust your fuel mixtures it will also affect your ignition timming seeing as its a voltage bender device so while modifying you AFM voltage signal to the ecu (fooling it to think there is more or less airflow) to adjust the fuel mixtures will also make your car run more timming and could cause pinging etc... This is a basic explanation anyway. Mind you seeing as Apexi hasn't made these for some time now they are pretty rare. I looked for months and finally found one on Ebay in Japan. Cost me about $270.00 delivered here. But you will also be able to run more timing down low to further help with fuel consumption and better off boost response etc... Its worth the wait

It will run ok without one of these. Mine's hitting 160awkw just fine and there's still room to move to increase that, within the limits of the fuel pump/injectors.

But I agree that the SITC will offer a big improvement in tuning capabilities and also in fuel consumption AND quicker boost buildup!!

Yet as you mentioned, they are so rare that very few people have one...

they were a couple of SITC on ebay couple of months ago for USD199 ...suppose they're all sold now. I've just bought a brand new sitc for $320 delivered from Japan which i reckon is a good price as they cost about USD50 to ship on ebay anyway.

You may want to do the exhaust first and hold out on the SAFC/SITC as there's been interest in the Greddy Emanage ultimate on these forums. The Emanage retails around $800 which gives u the ability to adjust both fuel and ignition and has datalogging capabilities. Would be worth to see what the reviews are on this.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
