First off Hello,

I'm in need of some help and advice. I'm from the United States, where sadly we were not blessed with the skylines like most of the world, but we can get the motors fairly easy. I have 95 nissan 240sx (silvia) with a s2 Rb25det swapped in. I've put a z32 maf in it and now i can't get it to run like i want. I'm using a safc II to correct the input/ouput signal. That is what i'm having an issue with. I've been told 2 in 4 out, but thats not working, it runs crazy rich, and won't idle. with it set to 0 in 0 out it will drive fine and idle fine till it warms up then it won't idle. I need some pointers. im getting to my buddies dyno sometime next week, but need help in the meantime. thanks.

im assuming by 'maf' you mean afm?

And as far as im aware, you need an aftermarket ecu (piggyback or standalone) tuned for the z32 afm to account for the readings the new afm gives.

edit: whats your reasoning for installing a z32 afm its pretty much stock? the standard afm wouldnt be close to being maxed out

nah the z32 can be used with a safc2 to correct it.

I've never used a safc2 to run a z32 so unfortunately i wont be much help. I'm sure theres a few guys on here that will know though

i do have an aftermarket piggy back...apexi safc 2. i put the z32 afm on because the stock one was missing from the motor. the car has more parts waiting to be put on, but i want it to run good first.

did a quick search and 2in / 6 out seems to be the setting to get the z32 working.

Give that a go and see what happens

well 2in/4 out has to be it....its running but really rich.....would fuel normally need to be pulled? i noticed the car has a adj. fuel pressure regulator on it....whats stock fuel pressure on a rb25det?....also i noticed that when i unplug a vaccum line it runs fine...but when its capped off it runs like crap.....where in a stock rb25 are these lines routed to? thanks for all the help.....

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
