You're right not to use it for tuning because they are not what they are used for. It's just an ornament, in my opinion. Greddy A/F meter comes with it's own 02 sensor which although not to professional standards, is useful as far as being able to tune the S-AFC. Set your Fuel ratio at full throttle between 11-12.1 for power and that safety edge (richer than 12.6 max power) to help prevent detonation.

Hey INASNT, that isnt dyno tuned is it? I was quoted by Arnold at HyperTech and he said $365 to fit and get 2 hours on the dyno... $75 is friggen cheap. However HyperTech (formally BGT performance) have a name Australia wide as being one of the best in the best around, and are the distributors for A`Pexi...? If $75 is all its gonna cost me then i am gonna call them aswell, cos i am getting a brand new AFC for $450 and was a bit angry that it was gonna cost almost as much to have it running properly. BTW anyone who wants an AFC get onto Sub-Zero performance in QLD they have them on special fro $450 at the moment, they have none left in stock but are getting more in Feb, and i rang them today adn they will honor the special price in Feb aswell as long as ya call them and tell them about the add 'you saw' in High Performance Imports. L8ters all, J.

I installed my s-afc with grim on our cars ourselfs! it takes about 1 hr and cost us $0. To tune the s-afc only takes about 1 hr at a max as there aint that many points of tuning u can do with it!

$365 to fit and 2 hours to tune? WTF that is out of control. It only takes about 2 hours to tune a Power FC in competent hands, and a good shop will charge about $75/hour max for labour (even though I think I would hesitate at going much over $50/hour) so $365 = 4.86 hours. Either someone doesn't want your business, or they are trying to rip you IMHO

how do you know this? When will it be available in Aust?

I'm getting an SAFC in january and if there's a new one coming out - I'll go for this!

There is a new safc (third gen) being released after christmas (now) and it is selling for the same price as the second gen. safc on takakaira.

There is also a limited edition black face model.

It seems to have the ability to be tuned at 200 rpm increments (instead of 500) and a lot of other features which I have no clue of 'cos I can't read japanese - check out the apexi pdf if you can read japanese and please let me know what it means in terms of new features.

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90掳s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 馃槶

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
