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

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
