Hey guys, just got myself a '97 C34 S1 RSfour, came with an SAFCII, airflow lines have been taken back to stock, but the unit is still wired in.

On start up, it displays as per the first attached pic. After pressing the center button (I.E. trying to get to the menu), is displays as per the second pic.

Anyone got any ideas - I think the unit is cactus, but you never know.

Cheers

start by checking all your wiring, i may be possible you disturbed a bad connection.

-there will be a plug that links the display to the ecu loom, check that is plugged in properly.

-another thing, the SAFC has 2 grounding wires, if one of those have come off or they are spliced in the wrong way around it will cause issues. from memory there is a brown wire and a black wire, they both need to be spliced into the one ecu ground wire and the brown one (i think) needs to be closest to the ecu with the black about 50mm further down the line. do you have the wiring diagrams for the SAFC to check i have the colours the right way around lol?

Gone through all the wiring, re did all the connections by soldering (rather than the shitty little splice crimps they provide).

As I was going through it, the ground wires were connected the wrong way around (brown is meant to be closest to the ECU, but black was), I fixed this, but still no joy.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
