Yehp once you disconnect , just reset the ecu.

Or sell the SAFC and sell the stock ecu and get a used Power FC to suit your factory parts.

NO NO, if you just disconnect it im 99% sure the car will not run because when its installed the safc intercepts the airflow signal wire from the ecu (the wire is cut and the safc is joined in the middle) , so basicaly if the safc is unplugged the airflow signal wire isnt connected to the ecu.

All you have to do is when you unplug the safc you have to rejoin the airflow wire back up at the ecu, its the orange wire with a blue stripe, the safc has a yellow wire and a white conecting to each side to the orange/blue wire, they are on little push connectors so simply unplug the white and yellow wires and connect the orange/blue wires back up to each other.

or you could simply reset the safc settings back to default (so basicaly its turned off) and the car will run like normal but then you will loose your settings and have to get it re-tuned when you want it to work.

Its very easy to unplug sacf and reconnect the orange/blue wire on the ecu.

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
