There is someone else in Sydney tuning the F-Con - Drop me a pm if you want more information

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)

[GT-R LM]

yeah i agree that the fconv is one of the best

Satanic: i think your talking about the ports behind the black screwed in cover.and what are those number switches?

What are these plugs(pic)

[satanic]

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.

[satanic]

I'm running version 3.24 which is the latest as far as I know

[Guest Mashrock]

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?

[satanic]

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

[satanic]

I got the Navigator just to be "complete" if you get what I mean...

[GT-R LM]

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?

[satanic]

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.
