Hey Guys

I asked this question awhile ago but never got a straight answer so thought I'd ask again.

I have a SAFC thats allready tuned on my R33, suppose I was to reset my ECU (i.e. unplug the battery and bleed the electrical system).

When I start my car again the ECU does a few diagnostics of some kind right?

Is this affected by my SAFC settings?

Hey Guys

I asked this question awhile ago but never got a straight answer so thought I'd ask again.

I have a SAFC thats allready tuned on my R33,  suppose I was to reset my ECU (i.e. unplug the battery and bleed the electrical system).

Hows it going

I was thinking about getting an S-AFC II, but the thing is I havent got a full exhaust, cat back only, a Hybrid 800 x 600 Front Mount Intercooler and a Turbosmart Bleed Valve, I was wandering if you recommend finishing off my exhaust system (dump pipe and hi flow cat) or getting the SAFC-II.

Is there a great amount of difference that the AFC makes?

Another thing, what mods do you have on your car since you have an AFC.

Thank you

thx INASNT I guess I am worrying about nothing, just wanted to make sure

DezertEagle, honestly I think if you're planning to keep standard turbo and/or ECU then yea the SAFC is worthed. Im still using standard dump though Ive change my front pipe and have a high flow cat.

I bought the SAFC because, due to the high boost and all my mods the ECU was hitting the fuel/boost cut so I wanted a quickfix and the SAFC solved that. If your car is allready experiencing this then I suggest the SAFC first, if not I would finish of the exhaust system and think about where to go after that. Personally I'd like to go full programmable ECU sometime in the near future.

My mods are:

Trust MX cat-back

SS highflow cat

RSR front pipe with stock dump pipe

Apexi filter

TRUST V-SPL intercooler kit

SAFC-II

Greddy Profec B EBC

HKS 256 exhaust cam 8.8mm lift with cam gears

Bosch 910 external pump

malapassi FPR

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
