fitted an safc2 recently and had some trouble with it, would like to wire in a switch so it can be turned off and return to the afm wiring going straight to ecu, without having to pull apart kick panel and wiring every time. Was thinking of an on-off-on toggle switch to divert the afm signal, have it run either straight to ecu or via the safc2 at the flick of a switch. Just wanted to know which would be the best way to do it for the safc side. Would I divert the signal before it goes to safc and have the return constantly spliced, or divert the return and have the ingoing signal constantly spliced? I'm thinking divert the return signal, so the signal altered by the safc doesn't actually do anything. But not that up with wiring so open to opinions and suggestions on the best way to do it?

agree it makes no sense

either use it and install it properly

or dont install it and dont use it

but if you realllllllly wanted to do that then you would use a pair of relays on a toggle switch

my a-lsd is setup like this

Get it tuned properly for your set up and leave it as is...

I see no reason why you would want to use it sometimes and then not

Anyway there is a function on it that lets you bypass the correction made(flatten it) and the reload it by holding down the button again on one of the screens......cant remember exactly which screen right now,, get the manual and read it up

I see no reason why you would want to use it sometimes and then not

ok - not that I should have to explain myself, but, I do alot of very short trips for work, driving around 45 secs here, 60 secs there, which is hard on the battery to get charged properly....and running things that draw extra current like elect boost controller and safc drain the battery even more. So would like to be able to turn them off for daily driving where I don't need more power, and just run them for when I am going for a "real" drive. That clear it up for everybody?? :banana: As said in the original post, I'm just after help and opinions on how to wire a divert for the afm signal, as the on/off part is easy enough to sort :P

that is the most random reason for turning off a device i have ever heard

when the cars running the safc would use bugger all voltage off the alternator

i found in my 33 i have amps that run direct to the battery

these are what kill a battery in an r33

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
