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:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
