S-afc Ii

[Damo]

Hey all,

I am looking at adding an apexi s-afc and am not sure if I should pay the extra money to get the latest series 2 model where u can have 12 preset modes instead of 8 and adjust every 200RPM instead of 500RPM. I have found this link on ebay, please have a look and let me know what u think. Does it sound too good to be true???

Hey Damo

I'm looking to purchase a SAFC soon too and I think it is worth the extra money for those extra points and functions. You even have 2 different fuel settings too for different driving condition.

I saw the link you mention on ebay. I was bidding for one not long ago but lost at the end, and the unit went for $510.

I also visited Aust Distri for Apexi in Melb, thinking maybe it is cheaper. but they wanted something like $700.

Cheers

Skylineakt,

Does this sound too cheap though? Does it come with everything u need to install it?

Considering Apexi USA are selling its predecessor for $439US or $675A. And unique autosports in Sydney for $695. How can this guy on ebay be selling the new model on ebay for $549? Makes no sense to me.

Hey Damo

Not really sure how come they are so cheap on ebay. I know what you mean, like perfectrun got them for $660. But than again, there is a site that i visit and they trade in Japanese yen.

www.takakaira.com

From memory there selling it for $500 (aust) something after the conversion from yen to aussie dollars. Our money is pretty strong at the moment compare to the yen.

I'm assuming that it comes with everything?!?!, don't quote me on it. But in the SACF2, i think it's just the unit, a stand and the cord/adaptor.

E-Bay are good for US market. Jap Aftermarket product are more expensive over there compare to here.

[calvintys]

it turn to be more expensive if you guys get it from ebay... i rather get it over here and with warrenty also

[skylineakt]

i guess warranty is the only downpoint purchasing through ebay.

but you are still saving $200 BUCKS $_$

[calvintys]

are you sure only the warrenty.... time frame and also what happen if your parts got lost during mail or delay.... some of us been through it before ..... it take ages to arrive here and also what happen if you got tax by custom

Skylineakt

[warrior_350]

[rb20-calais]

greenline have them for like $450 delivered (depending on exchange rate) i emailed the australian agent and he confirmed this but i didnt ask... would we have to pay customs on it?

Greenline looks like the way to go. But do you get a warranty with the product? What about you warrior, did u get a warranty through takakaira

[warrior_350]

When i got mine through takakaira, it cost something like around 43000 yen all up covering customs and everything. They write the price on the package as much lower (4200) so that the cost of getting through customs is cheaper. Greenline is cheaper but i dont know if they do the dodgy to clear customs for less. I dont know about warranty maybe one of the things in the box written in jap is the warranty card? hehe

they probably come from japan! , if your going to buy an safc buy the second model and defianetly buy it from japan. Probably through greenline as they will be cheaper then anywhere.

[skylineakt]

that's pretty good for it to get to you in 5 days warrior!!!

Well worth the wait I reckon. Looking at saving $20 bucks a day haha. Do you think if I keep waiting our dollar will keep getting stronger agaisnt the yen!! haha. Maybe if it goes up to 80 yen for $1 aust, i'll be getting it for like $400!!

Have you installed it yet warrior??

Let us know how it goes with the result and tunning of the SAFC2.

Is it possible to tune these yourself on the road instead of on the Dyno?? I'll be saving further $200 bucks there hehe.

Money are hard do come by these days

[warrior_350]

yeah its in and tuned my result is in another thread that i posted recently

I had the first SAFC-II into aus from takakaira, a week before their actual realease in japan. It was a pre-release deal i got from them in which they had 30 to sell before the date of release, and mine worked out $550 and took me about 4 days to recieve. Then i sold it ... but with the new turbo coming on tuesday i have a Unichip on its way instead
