Please Help

I have a 95 R33 GTS-t AUTO Skyline with the following mods

3"inch Turbo Back Exhaust

Hybrid Intercooler

Malpassi Rising rate fuel regulator

Turbosmart dual stage boost controller

Apexi RSM and SAFC2

18" rims with HSD coilovers

My problem is I have had a tuner do the tune on a dyno when the SAFC2 was not fitted when it was fitted the car runs quite badly leaning out and very rich all over the place the Tuner cannot tune with the SAFC2 because he does not understand it. Where can i get someone who knows what they are doing with a SAFC2 and willing to work out my tuning issues. i have bypassed the SAFC2 and now car runs quite well on the factory ECU. however i have a GCG hiflow turbo coming and i will need to find a tuner when it is fitted.

Please can anybody help me I have cash and will pay I just need somebody who knows what they are doing.

I am based in Rockhampton Queenland and willing to travel anywhere in the state. I am incredibly frustrated by the lack of expertise in my region.

Well the car shouldnt run bad with the SAFC installed and not tuned, as it will be doing nothing. It only starts changing the AFR once it is tuned.

Unless you put it in wrong.

Mercury Motorsport ( 1300 558 650 www.mercurymotorsport.com.au ) in Brisbane tuned my old r33 with a SAFC and should be able to help you out if you can travell to brisbane.

Awsome I contact them thank you for your reply.

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
