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.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
