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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
