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.

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
