thanks fellas

That Rich and Retard around 5000rpm can only ever be rectified with a PFC. A SAFC will take most of it out but will never get rid of it, It's just like putting a bandade on a broken leg. Plus its not as safe. Fuel pressure reg isn't really required as these RB's run very rich base maps. Taking fuel out of the things usually gives you alot more headroom with the injetors anyway. But yea definetly better than putting up with that gay flat spot.

slightly on topic, but any tips on where to dispose of old oils?

a tablespoon each morning in the kid's cereal or on their pancakes & tell them it's either castor oil or Canadian Maple Syrup...........good for keeping them regular :P

so who wants to come over for breakfast????

eww Petes mum in fishnets not something i want to think about

ok then, YOUR mum in fishnets

throw in my missus mum and there will be loads to clean up

of :wub:

I'll be having most of the 100thou service redone when we do the head in december.

got a gates racing belt kit with tensioner and pulley etc, fuel filter is fresh but will replace some fluids (attessa oring being replaced), power/diff/coolant/brakes/oil&filter

she'll be real fresh after that, and the tune, with the new Tomei Poncams. wonder how much difference the large throttle body will make?

anyway, looking forward to this upcoming tune, should be a bit of a sleeper.

next will be tyres

;)

a safc and nismo adjustable fuel pressure regulator might be a bit of fun, to get around the 5000rpm spot, and gain some more power

but youd want a full exhaust system, good induction and intake, better fuel pump, and then the mods really start

The car has a 3" exhaust, k&n filter and some shitty gfb bov... very basic. Would SAFC get rid of the atmo bov problems such as wanting to stall at times etc? Or would it be better if i replaced this with standard item? I hardly see the benefit of having aftermarket bov if the factory unit does a good job...

i would replace the BOV as soon as possible as soon as police see that its canary time at least with out that and a tidy bonnet you may just have an uncomfortable chat then be on your way

i think people are saying SAFC to get rid of the R&R @ 5,000 a fuel cut defender will do the same think but i think the SAFC you can bend some of the fuel signals as well

dont waste your money, SAFC is a bandade on a broken leg. Put up with it and save your money for a PFC. SAFC's tended to get on the unsafe side of things, No ignition timing can be changed so the standard ECU does whatever it wants with the ignition which can cause flat spots anyway.

Cool, again thanks for helpful replies :laugh:

How much do PFC's cost these days? around $800 mark private sale?

haha sorry about all the questions, skylines are new to me... everything is computer controlled :rofl:

also, whats GReddy E-Manage like? I understand its only a piggyback so just basic functions can be changed... in terms of price though they seem pretty reasonable.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
