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.

    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
