Hey guy,

can someone give me a hand, i am going to install the safc tomorow although,

the manual doesnt match the wiring coming out of the safc lol so i am a lil confused.

can someone take a pic of there ecu and tell me what wires go where. or give me a lil run down.

few things i am unsure about is what wire should be going into the throttle wire on ecu. and someone told me a whire should be going into the knock sensor wire on the ecu also, but this isnt in the manual.

which makes me confused.

my car is a r33 gts-t

thanks

G'day,

I recently wired a SAFC (blue screen version 1) into my ca18det S13 so I can give you my experience with this unit and hopefully answer some questions. The SAFC doesn't have a knock sensor function (the SAFC2 does) so you won't find a wiring diagram showing it.

Your SAFC should have 10 wires - red, green,grey,black.brown,yellow,white,blue,pink and orange. For your R33 gts-t you won't use the blue, pink or orange wires. The grey wire is the throttle position sensor input. Red is +12V power, balck and brown are ground, green is RPM, white is AFM input and yellow is AFM output.

I recommend you go to the Apexi website www.apexi-usa.com and download the 2 PDF files from the documentation page called electronics_safc_ins.pdf and electronics_safc_wire.pdf. These contain all the information you need. Make sure you read all the warnings before you attempt to install it.

Hope this helps

i just installed my safc on friday night. d/l the 2 pdf's and its alot easier. it has 2 diagrams for rb25, one for ser 1, one for ser 2, however they are both the same.

also look closely at the wiring and the locations in the connector. there was a few times i questioned which wire it was.

dont rush it and u'll be fine.

cheers

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
