Hey again,

Just installed an SAFC2 on my R33. Everything works, as in i didnt wire it up wrong...

Car starts and runs so all sweet, all the sensors and everything are good.

One problem, I thought i reset it to factory before i started the car, then did the pre-start setup etc to configure it.

When the cars cold, if you lightly touch the throttle it misses, but then its fine.. weird. And then when it starts to warm up (have to warm it up to get correct knock wire) the idle fluctuates as if theres a vac leak, but not quite as drematic.Just a quick blip blip blip. Didnt let the car warm up completely as i didnt like the sound it was making.

I put the AFM wire back to stock and it runs mint again. No idle "blip" and no missing.

Do you think because it was set up an a different type of car there could be something messing with the AFM signal? Would it go away with a re-tune to the current engine?

OR, is the SAFC2 stuffed?

If anyone has had a little problem like this your advice would be appreciated. I have my fingers crossed that the tune will sort it out. But untill then im leaving the AFM wired up stock for safetys sake :)

Thanks!

Ok, so i figured it out tonight after a little more internet research...

If anyone was interested...

The master reset was the obvious solution, that i DID do before setting the Skyline up. But what i failed to do, and was an easy mistake to make is turn the key off.

When you reset them to factory APEXi settings, you have to turn the key off to save that setting. Then continue on setting it up to the current vehicle. (then key off again to save THAT setting)

I didnt key off. Set it up as per Skyline instructions. But of course, it was still "set" to the previous car. FAIL! But resolved :D Happy :D

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
