oh alright, thanks for your input. usually how much should it cost to tune SAFC as im trying not to get ripped off cuz Unique Auto Sports wanted to charge nearly $1000 by the sound of it cuz they told me to go POWER FC cuz the tuning for SAFC will balance the price up and be the same in the end.

Hmm .. I was there today to do a dyno run and one of the guys was tryng to convince me to get a SAFC as my car's running a bit rich under load. He said he had a used one for $250 and fully tuned it would come to $550 so I'm not sure why they told you a $1000, unless they were trying to flog something else when you were there (had a spare pfc around they wanted to get rid of? lol )

To be perfectly frank, the place seems like a boy racer hell ... the tuner bloke was really nice and knew his stuff, but the general feel I got from the shop was "show us your money and we'll find something to sell you"

$250 for used? mate you got a bargain. Well like i said it sounded like they were gonna charge 1k cuz they said *eventually* it'll balance out to be the same total price, so why go for power fc.

Maybe the safc is a pain in the ass to reprogramm and it can take several tunes to get it right so $300 x several times = price of pfc tuned.

Pfc tuned is about $2k. Great if you wanna mod your car and keep doing it ... but I just can't justify that sort of cost when some people just simply remap their stock ecu and get a nice result apparently.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
