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

if you are not busy today i could have a look at it for you as i fitted one to SKA's 33 gtst not long ago..

if your afm isnt workin you would have had troble before you fitted the safc-1

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
