I'm thinking of getting an Apexi Neo to improve my aweful fuel economy and due to the fact that its too hard for find a PFC and a reasonable cost. I have heard the Neo does not have a knock sensor like the old SAFCII, but I have noticed in the specs that it has a Karmann sensor readout. Will this display the level of knocking when connected to an RB25DET?

Im pretty sure Karman sensors have nothing to do with Nissan Airflow meter equipped cars. My Old SAFC blue screen has the wire for Karman readings but it doesnt get hooked up.

Please correct me if im wrong.

Cheers

Chris

no it wont, for rb25det u dont use the karman sensor wire. If you where to wire it up to knock to attempt to get a knock read out it wont work. I had the same dilemea when i purchased a neo, best bet is get a safc2 that has knock read out or go all the way and get a aftermaket ecu

Thanks for the feedback. I think I might get an E-Manage Ultimate then. They are not too much more $ and can do a lot more stuff anyway. I would love to go for a full ECU solution but I can't find a PFC anywhere for a good price :laugh:

Yep I saw that, it was for R33 though, I need an R34 one :happy: Think I will just order an E-Manage Ultimate from Nengun and start looking for a good tuner in Perth.

SLIDE is selling link ecus, direct plug ins as i understand. I dont know any thing about them or how they compare but might be worth a look?

Will look into them - thanks. Thing is if I get a complete replacement ECU I still want it to run the car well like the PFC does.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
