hey guys and gals,

just wondering if any of the NA crew are using a non-stock ecu or anything like the Apexi S-AFC and if they have noticed any worthwhile gains. What options do we have in the electronics department?

Checked out my ecu a while back and it was standard... bastard owner back in japan put wheels, suspension, exhaust, air filter and some schmick tyres on the car but was too tight to put a new ecu in :lol:

Would an ecu upgrade/supplement only be worthwhile if you have done serious mods to the car or is there a possibility for a few extra kws at the wheels even with only light mods? (we all know that's what we want)

yeah like what he said!! :uh-huh:

i've seen the apexi safc in a lot of na cars. remi from sdu had one on his old na r33 and said it made a fair bit of difference. i heard he's na could keep up with some of the gts-T!! for around 450bux, i think its not too bad. can always take it back out if u get another car.

erm, i can't really remember what other mods he had. but the owner in japan pretty much did most the stuff. i think mods included (obviously all jap parts):

exhaust

extractors

lightened flywheel

heavy clutch

safc

airfilter

dunno what else, thats all i can remember. u can hop on sdu and ask him. a lot of ppl there said it was a fast na.

I can get these translated if you want - my sister is fluent in Japanese :)

Hi Greg,

If it's not too troublesome, can you help me in translating this one page from my S-AFC manual? This page comes from a booklet which was does not have the English version. (The ones on US websites does not include this particular booklet).

Much appreciated.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
