I'm getting one of these for xmas and was just wondering if it is difficult to install myself or am i better off getting someone proffesional to help me. As i'm getting married soon i can't really afford to workshop it so if its easy I would like to do it myself.

Thanx alot guys and girls.

edit:/ P.S i know i could search guys but im at work and the computers at my work bite balls. Sorry for SAFC thread 2 gazzillion.

yo paul.. i just installed mine myself too.. Quite easy, theres a tutorial on here, but i noticed that the wiring colors on the R33 GTST ecu loom is totally different to the tutorial, other than that, pretty easy tho. I too can give you a hand if you want as im just around the corner in warnbro. I wouldnt bother paying for someone to do it. It took me about 30-45mins maybe to install, and im not exactly an auto electrician

how do you guys go with setting it up to get the right a/f ratios

p.s. has anyone had a go at fitting there own fmic, just got one and interested in having a look at someones car close up to see what is involved, i am in warnbro

Pal.. i'm in warnbro too. I fitted my own FMIC and SAFC2, more than happy to give you a few pointers. I got a Hybrid R33 GTST kit off ebay, and found it was pretty easy to install, but a few tricky bits that the instructions didnt tell you.

PS. you can come round and check out mine anytime, im just near the last drop. Ive just PM'd you my mobile number if you want to get in touch

As you can see by dyno graph a/f ratios seem pretty constant black line is final tune, just got it done at hyperdrive, took em about 45mins on the dyno to tune safc2. Very happy with their work

Get hold of an AFR meter somehow and only make small changes.

As an SAFC is only a signal bender for the MAF taking out fuel is done by making the ECU think its under less load,the ECU then delivers the fuel needed for that load,BUT it also delivers the timing for that lesser load meaning more timing.When im tuning SAFCs and have to make large changes I plug our Scan tool into the ECU and monitor the delivered timing often having to leave a richer than ideal AFR but that is the safest method.

  • 2 weeks later...

that included me fabricating all the pipework (made from 304 grade 2 1/2" stainless steel) and getting a friend to weld it up, im quite sure it has increased my horsepower. done a 180 degee turn on outlet of intercooler and plumbed back into existing piping (same as psiker's) had to cut alot of the front bar out and move a few things around in front of the radiator. happy with the outcome. have to get it dyno'ed again now. do you think the safc2 will need to be tuned again? and do i need to reset the computer?

    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
