Alrighty. I just put my Power FC in, and unplugged the SAFC I had... now the engine will trun over, and start, then stall immediatly. If I leave the SAFC plugged in it start though.

Is this because the AFM goes through the SAFC before the computer? So I'll need to completely take the SAFC's loom out, and figure out how to wire the AFM back in?

or is it simpler?

Cheers/

pretty much...

you can leave it plugged in though.. and change all the tuning settings back to 0%...

Also if you reset it back to factory defaults (with the init function) you'll need to enter in the cylinder and afm setting i think..

remove the safc completey and restore back the afm wiring correctly.

then make sure you follow the self idle learn procedure correctly otherwise you may be stuck with a start-stall tune on the powerFC. the FAQ in my signature tells you how to perform the self idle correctly

read the FAQ

I have read the FAQ, the light went out after driving. The throttle sensor seemed to be the one playing up - I'll get it checked.

Just a couple of queries. When I advance that setting it says to +2 in the FAQ, my knock count goes way overboard, so I'm guessing I shouldn't do that. also, my air flow meter seemed to max out. I know I shouldn't be revving it to high. but I jsut wanted to check it out.. and it maxes out at about 5,500. Any ideas on that? Cheers.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
