oh and installing new nismo braided lines so there will be ALOT of air to get rid of lol.

thanks for that. My main concern was how would you know when all air is out if you can't see it? Would prefer the 2 person method so I can see what's coming out but my better half is away at moment.

I think it's the same thing as speed-bleeders, which I've heard work well. Make it alot easier to do for not much money if they do work...

just got a set of the BR's for my r33gtst. Quality/finish of them looks good. I was EXTREMELY sceptical of the 8/6 spring rate, as the tein superstreets in my ST185 Celica were rated much softer (can't remember exact rates, they are on tein site somewhere) and are stiff as hell, but I dunno, maybe BC use a different way of measuring their 8/6 rate lol, cause they definitely aren't harsh. I would put the feel of them about 20% stiffer than the stock suspension I had, with the damper adjustment 7 clicks from full softness on the BC's. So I've found them definitely streetable. Was going to get 6/4 spring rate but was cautioned against it by salesperson, and glad I didn't, would have been too soft.

ok - not that I should have to explain myself, but, I do alot of very short trips for work, driving around 45 secs here, 60 secs there, which is hard on the battery to get charged properly....and running things that draw extra current like elect boost controller and safc drain the battery even more. So would like to be able to turn them off for daily driving where I don't need more power, and just run them for when I am going for a "real" drive. That clear it up for everybody?? As said in the original post, I'm just after help and opinions on how to wire a divert for the afm signal, as the on/off part is easy enough to sort

well no, it's, I want to be able to run it when I choose. I think an safc2 suits my modest tuning goals quite well.

fitted an safc2 recently and had some trouble with it, would like to wire in a switch so it can be turned off and return to the afm wiring going straight to ecu, without having to pull apart kick panel and wiring every time. Was thinking of an on-off-on toggle switch to divert the afm signal, have it run either straight to ecu or via the safc2 at the flick of a switch. Just wanted to know which would be the best way to do it for the safc side. Would I divert the signal before it goes to safc and have the return constantly spliced, or divert the return and have the ingoing signal constantly spliced? I'm thinking divert the return signal, so the signal altered by the safc doesn't actually do anything. But not that up with wiring so open to opinions and suggestions on the best way to do it?

excellent to hear R31Nismoid, so the cheaper slotted would be just as good you reckon? the others are more but look alot hotter lol have done the fluid change, and running TRW pads at moment which seem ok? no brake shudder but definitely bumpy/minor grooving on disc surface. Not wanting to spend any money on the current discs though, would prefer to put it towards newies. Thanks for the tip, up in Cairns though, unless they do shipping...?

Hey skyliners Noob question but how do you know when discs are worn out? If you don't have anything to measure thickness that is. Mine have a bit of lip on the edge of the disc....car has done 110,000k's, I've had it for the last 9,000 of them, not sure if they've ever been replaced? Does braking performance start to go downhill, or what, when discs have reached min thickness? I was looking at these for replacement, seem to be a good price from what I have seen. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Skyline-GTS-t-R33-R34-Front-RDA-Disc-Rotors-/110724245641?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2446644268996712129 anyone have any opinions on them, or know anywhere that does a better price? car is 100% street too btw, no track use

lol, gold

also any chance of some pics of the actual ones you're selling?

give you $800 for the coilovers and a winning smile......I'm negotiable on the smile lol.

nicely . What are the rates?

rb20 actuator is good, but not the same as a boost controller...being a spring diaphragm, boost comes on too gradually...for me anyway, no boost "hit". If you really want to hide it, how about a dummy setup. leave stock boost solenoid in place, block inside the line with a vut bolt/plug, and tee lines off underneath that run to your boost controller. If someone really wants to find it they wil, but that would be a way to look stock

I think you could be onto something there. Definitely no ecu error codes when checking via consult connector.

ok - have found the car alarm might have something to do with it. When it has immobilised after 40 secs it was doing the tripping thing; when disarmed the safc comes on normally. So got it started and running. *But* found the check engine light coming on randomly once I started driving - stays on, then starts flashing, then quick flashes, long flashes, all over the place - doesn't seem to be in any order or code. So, bridged the consult plug to check for error codes, and nothing, just the 55 all clear flash. Car seems to drive alright but the fact the engine light keeps coming on and flashing can't be good.....plus a strong smell of melting plastic a few times too.

I have triple checked all connections, all were soldered securely. Checked I had tapped into the right pins, and all ok. This is seriously annoying. I'm not running anything else off the ecu - could the load of the safc be too much, causing it to keep tripping off?

just fitted an safc2 to my s2 r33, and no go. Trialled it when i had just wired in the power and earth and it fired up fine...did the rest of the wiring and the ecu just kept clicking and safc kept restarting......caused by the squarish solenoid in behind the ecu, you can feel it clicking. Disconnected the afm wire and joined them back to bypass the safc, it fired up fine. Set all the settings in the safc, turned it off, went upstairs for a bit.......came back down and now it won't fire up at all, just keeps clicking/restarting??? cut all wires bar the ground and power, and still clicking. At a loss, cause I soldered all the joins, no way they have come loose?? anyone have any suggestions?

hi and thanks for your reply. I have downloaded that manual and it is just related to the general settings for the unit. The data settings are in a separate manual which I got with the safc2. The print in the manual is not that clear to begin with, but i will try and get as clear an image as possible. and no you're definitely not being an a##hole lol, any help is appreciated.

heh, your mum makes a pretty good phhehefff sound when being driven hard too..

just to clarify, it's in Japanese lol. Tried to put the image in my post above but only comes up as an attachment

Got this with my safc2 I just picked up, and if anyone can tell me what it says, I would appreciate it. safc2 graph.pdf thanks in advance !

ok that makes no sense and sounds slightly homosexual....I think I will leave u to it

aaahhha, nautical theme, nicely played there lol
