hey guys my i found a HKS fconV the other day in my gtr it still has the standard computer and that wired as well so im guessing its a piggy back. Is it tunable? also there are two plugs on the back of it, what connects to them(inserted pic) ?

Thanks :wave:

dont qutoe me but i dont believe many tuners/workshops have the ability to tune a fconv in australia. maybe call a hks distrubotor in your stateto see who may have the software and ability to do so......

Sydney,

and bd4's are the ones to speak to.

but sas can borrow software and crodon too i beleive?

other than that its kinda like a fully controlable piggyback. the standard is left to control all the a/c and other things... i think!!

hks fcon great computer if only there were more people here to tune them

CRD doesnt tune the the fcon no more.

its not a piggy back at all, you can run it standalone but as mashrock said, the standard ecu is there for A/C and 1 other thing i cant recall

also are those 2 plugs male or female??

if they are female and small they could be the wires for the air temp and map sensors as they are an option

Also.

from what i have been discussing with the uk blokes.

the hks navigator pro can tune the fcon V pro.. But you must be updated to the latest version

i'm waiting to hear more on this topic and i'm waiting on a preview/video on how its all done.

the plot thickens!

bd4's can update your software to the latest they have..

i prefer to leave the tuning to the pro's

bd4's will promise you that if there is any probs with their tune later down the track for no apparent reason they will fix it for free

yeah when i have eveything all together. and i am in need of a tune i'm booking it in.

but also will get the navigator pro as its only 3-400 bucks. and also does a bunch of other things.

I'm sorry was it tuned in japan for australian fuel and all the mods on the car?

what is the price difference between retuning a standard ecu compared to a aftermarket unit??

have u had experience with both? if so please provide us with you breakdown of cost

well if you have access to a free dyno then congrats..

for everyone else?? can you provide us with a $$ cost?

and your worshop recommends a remap over a aftermarket ecu? good luck with that..

i have dealt with both senarios and can say from personl experience, both performance wise and cost wise.. and aftermarket ecu is the go

$595 for chip and $200/hr for dyno tune. Hmmmm let me see, compare development costs of a particular ECU made by a manufacturer for a particular car compared to that of an aftermarket ECU for a range of cars. I bet the devlopment cost for the aftermarket ECU to cover a range of cars is not within 1/5 of the development costs of the standard ECU produced by a team of engineers for that car.

When you've tuned both you can make that assumption and I've only come to this conclusion.

so what your saying is that a standard ECU is perfected over a long period of time by a team of engineers..

then you have a aftermarket ecu which is also reasearched, tested etc by engineers for a 1/5 of the time..

then you have some worshop who remaps a perfect ecu over only a couple hours supposedly making is better than what those engineers can?

fact: if a standard remap is better and more cost effective then why isnt it everyones number one choice??

Try reading it again - cant make it any easier to understand.

How many tuning shops in Australia know what they are doing or even have the ability to properly emulate and tune the factory managment? It is for this reason alone that it isn't more widely done. Remember nissans aren't the only cars that can be chipped or the standard managment reprogrammed.

are you trying to make your point or make excuses?

your right!! not many shops can emulate and in this case we are talking about skylines only..

what are the advantages again??

No. My point is I believe that the standard managment addresses all operating parameters of engine management better than most/all aftermarket ECU's.

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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
