I was installing the SAFC 2 on my car this morning.

turned on the ignition, blue screen poped up, did the initial setting, tried to start the car, the engine turned but won't start.

The AFC2 is second hand, I re-set to the factory setting and tried all the function, but the car just won't start.

I checked all the wire connection, they seem alright. so I really don't know why.......

any idea?

any help will be much appreciated.

by initial setting do you mean that you set the sensor type to Hotwire, Sensor No to 4 In and 4 Out, and Sensor Cal to 1 In and 1 Out. also the Car Select to 6 cylinder and the throttle arrow pointing up.

the other thing that come to mind is the two ground wires, did you get them around the right way i.e brown wire closest the ecu and black wire further back.

if you go into the etc. menu and go sensor check, does anything look out of the ordinary.

I checked with the wires already, it had been connected correctly according to the APEXI installation manual.

QWK32, yes I did all the initial setting like you said and after that the enigne won't start.

when I pulled the plug and re-connected the AFM signal wire back together like factory setting, car started and everything was back to normal.

so.................I still have no idea, is my AFC faulty?

but I can see the blue screen and all function seems alright.

Yeah too easy mate, the settings aren't that hard to figure out. i just find that 9 times out of 10 SAFC issues are in the setup. I know you've said you checked the wiring, but something else it could be is if you have got the SAFC Air Flow Meter In and Out around the wrong way?

If that is right then as you said, you possibly have a busted unit. I don't know if it would be worth getting someone to check it out to confirm if it is dead or not.

checked with all the wires and connection, everything seems fine.

It seems like there is no AF signal output from AFC.........

does anyone know how to test it?

You could measure the signal from your afm with a multimeter. Turn the safc to zero and it should output the same figure.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
