UPDATE!!

I went to the Jaycar website to buy one of the DFA kits (Digital Fuel Adjuster, Jaycar catalog# KC5385) And cant find them anywhere; I have a feeling they have been discontinued..

However after a little more searching I found a similar kit

http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp?ID=KC5490&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=965#11

Which im pretty sure is the kit which supersedes the classic DFA kit which we all know and love...

It says in the blurb that it can adjust air/fuel ratios by adjusting the voltage so yeah.. pretty sure it will do the exact same job..

Peace

I've been using these for a while now & they do a great job. The downside with the voltage adjuster over the DFA is there are more load points to set & so it will take a bit longer to configure. The upside is with more load points you can do finer adjustments.

Looks like they have put the price up on the kits tho.

Edit: there are some ambiguous instructions when it comes to the calibration. It is possible to set these so that each unit (added or subtracted on the hand controller) will equal whatever you want, ie a coarse or fine adjustment. If you follow the instructions to a "T", you could find that the adjustment is so fine so as to make no difference at all. Mine is set for 2 hundredths of a volt (0.02V) per increment, which gives me great control.

If anyone builds one & has trouble working out the calibration, just ask.

Cheers, Leon.

I actually bought a prebuilt kit from eBay (after my initial kit I built didn't work a few years ago :P ) - have a look here. I *think* all the kits are the same but just check with them first - it works with my R33 GTS-T. It is definitely a Jaycar DFA - I have opened it and checked it out :)

Unfortunately, you have to buy it with the hand controller, but after contacting the seller they were willing to drop the price a bit for me. They also responded quickly to my questions so overall pretty happy.

As you will see, the hand controller is a different shape to the Jaycar one but I can confirm that it does work with both the DFA and IEBC.

Anyone here in Canberra could install the DFA and IBC and do a basic setting of the load points?    I bought both pre-built kits from this forum 10 years ago, and its been sitting in my cupboard ever since!   Happy to reward accordingly...

They are relatively easy to install and tune - so long as you have the hand controller to go with them but if you have a S2 with the Neo engine I would really recommend getting a Nistune chip.

Many of the C34 owners from 10 years ago have left the forum but hopefully someone will still have the instructions!

Actually I still have a few files on my computer so I will attach them...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
