Never thought to take a picture of it but I guess I could. But I'm not sure how much you will actually see without taking the dash off..... But I'll try

Hopefully you will post pics when done with the install. I'm thinking about this as my next mod.

Ditto!

If anyone can do a DIY write-up that would be awesome! I have the SAFC-II, and want to install it myself. My only problem is with the wiring.

The info on the Apexi web site does not help much. The downloadable maunual is very general.

You wont be able to make huge corrections with the SAFC on these cars - I would say around +/- 7%-10% max.

Do you have any experience with the Apexi and the 350z?

Whats the deal with this thing? I bought one but havent gotten it yet. Some say its good for 10 +hp, others say its not even worth getting it dyno tuned because our ecu sucks. So whats the deal? How long to install?

I don't know how well it works on the Z or G but I have seen one produce 9 hp on consecutive dyno runs.

I'm not sure I follow you Victor; the SAFC fine tunes the factory ECU limits from my limited knowledge. What did you mean by this "and proper tuning". I guess you mean the SAFC in the right hands=proper tuning?

Yeap, mine is actually going to be used in additon to the Technosquare ECU, to make even finer tunings .

Cool

My thoughts exactly. There's just something to be said about a finely tuned ECU. I'm anxious to get a recap and results thread from you on these mods. Keep us posted. Are you going to mount the SAFC on the steering column like the Apexi ad or are you going inconspicuous

definitely not on the steering column, that's too cluttered looking, most likely the NAV box temporarily.

how sick would it be to have it mounted in the sunglass holder overhead. that would be pretty extreme; i'll take mine in the nav comp. also. I'm not sure if the size of the SAFC would permit the sunglass holder. that would also be ALOT of cable.

is it a waste of money if i get the s-afc now and the ecu later? would i be able to "re-tune" it to the new specs? i was also considering getting a twin-turbo kit down the line, would these things still be compatible or should i just save my money until i get the twin-turbo kit?
