Your answer - HKS F-CON V Pro (version 3.24 + only)

Now before the critics jump up n down waving their arms around; yes it is a piggyback :happy: But, it's better than a PFC, it works on the auto on Nissans and is one of the most popular ECU systems in Japan.

paying for the guy to come out and tune sounds really expensive

i live in Far north QLD and that in itself would be an expensive trip

let alone dyno hire costs etc

I have an r34 auto and im slowly narrowing down my options

but it seems my best bet is a dr drift tune if/when he comes up here

another option is the greddy emanage piggyback system but no one up here can tell me if it will work with the tiptronic auto (does it ???)

I should have bought a manual

Greddy Emanage does work; talk to 666Dan about it I think... there is a bit of DIY stuff you have to do to make it work though, something to do with the resistors?

Hopefulyl one day the HKS ECUs will become more tunable and let people from other states reap the same benefits.

I can wait - I'll just grab yours when you're finished with it Stan :P

Useless in SA, can only be tuned by an auithorised HKS Tuning Shop using the HKS supplied dongle and software. Which HKS charges an arm and a leg for.

:( cheers :(

was tongue in cheek - anyway, Im sure Stan would love to pay for the 1st tune as part of the "deal"

lol, quite happy with the safc/sitc combo, cheers

:laugh::( :sorcerer:

According to some "rumors" which I'm yet to justify, there are other tuners out there for HKS ECUs... whether or not this is true I don't know.

SK; why you always shuttin me down for :( LOL it's all good... as you said, friendly discussions never hurt anyone :)

how do you adjust the air/fuel ratio with an safc when the factory ecu just keeps correting it via the o2 sensor?

The standard (slow and narrow) lambda sensor only works for constant throttle cruise and idle (generally called closed loop running). At ANY other loads (that's the other 99.9% of the time) the mapping has full control of the A/F ratios (open loop running).

:ninja: cheers :laugh:

I dont think it is as easy as that..... What is the throttle position? What is the AFR? How much load is it under?

When I had my safc tuned in my r33 it took them a good hour, and 4 or 5 dyno runs to get it perfect, and it bloody did well, gained 28rwkw and ~300kms EXTRA out of a full tank of petrol, was VERY happy!! :laugh:

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
