Mashrock n John; the Navigator Pro cannot be used for tuning purposes on the F-CON V Pro. I too have read the reviews and speculation on the UK forums but unfortunately it's all bullshit.

How do I know? I have a Navigator Pro and all it does is monitoring of the system vitals. You can only use it to tune the F-CON S and SZ - and with those; it's only a small amount of tuning, not the entire map.

Also; the two holes out back is the tuning port and the comms port - looks like a phone socket ehh? :)

F-CONs are the way to go; they wouldn't be worth so much if they were "just a piggy back". I had a look at the world's 10 fastest GTRs and I think 7/10 were using the V Pro system (in some cases two of them)

Those plugs are used for plugging in other HKS peripherals such as the Knock Amp etc etc... there are a few other goodies that you can get for the F-CON. There is also a rumor going around that the ECU can be used to control other things such as water spray, NOS etc so maybe that's the extra controller for it.

Those numbered switches on the front panel of the ECU are for selecting the maps you want to run :)

what software version are you up on? apparently it ONLY works with the latest version. i'm awaiting a video/slideshow on the whole operation. from a highly respected gtr tuner in the uk

and hes talking about the two white plugs that hang off the loom that goes into the fcon.

well time will tell i guess.

i myself was doubting it in the beginning. but they seem pretty confident in what it can do. i've still got to get my car tuned but waiting on more parts before that gets done

is the navigator itself any good? worth the 300 bucks for it?

If you can find one for $300 then I'd jump on it... I got my one brand new for $500 which is about $150 what HKS in Australia can supply it for.

It's good for monitoring; knowing your injector duty; boost; water temp; RPM; speed; knock and unfortunately on the V Pro that's all it's good for...

The LCD screen could've done with an upgrade to say A'Pexi AVCR Style - too dull to see clearly during the day/night. *could just be my eyes*

Overall; I was under the impression that you could use it to tune the V Pro; or even at least set the A/F Correction Value but nope - not on ours.

Hopefully later on :mellow:

ok does the navagator work on every fconV or just pro versions?

are the wiring plugs the same betwwen fconV and fconV pro? eg can i unplug my fconv and install a fconv pro to that harness? or do they differ?

The navigator will actually work better on the non-V Pro versions of the F-CON as you will be able to EDIT stuffz.

I'm pretty sure the wiring harness would be the same for all the F-CON version.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
