drifter_x Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Can anybody confirm firstly that there is nobody in VIC who can tune a HKS F-Con V Pro? And Secondly if BD4S are still doing these? I'm buying a V35 from Japan which unfortunately is running one of these, I don't have the budget to change the management when it arrives and I'm hoping somebody can tune it?! Will the Japanese tune be ok if the car isn't modified any further?

Martin HKS Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 The only shop's in Australia that can currently tune the HKS F-Con V Pro are: TUNEHOUSE in Sydney Jim Ghelis 11 Chalder Street Marrickville NSW 2204 02 9557 4000 and XSpeed in Perth Hanson Yeoh 18 Zeta Crescent O'Connor WA 6163 08 9331 8088 From 1st July 2008 Tom at BD4 has not accepted new offer from HKS so is no longer a HKS distributor or tuner. Other shops and people that claim to be able to tune the V-Pro are unable to. Without the HKS dongle key software is useless. They key itself that people claim to have don't work. I'm currently in the process of working out a HKS Pro Dealer Tuning Network in Aust but it's a slow process due to HKS having to visit and approve all dealers. HKS and I will be in Sydney/Perth Oct/Nov for more training and release of new F-Con V Pro with current dealers. Any prospective dealers are welcome to email me at [email protected] So UWISSH! please contact Jim at Tunehouse and tell him Martin reccomended you.

Why go to the expense of changing the computer when he can have it tuned locally. And also depending on what other ECU's you are thinking unless you go top shelf for Motec of Autronic the other manufacturers are inferior to HKS F-CON. I must admit though it's all about value for money but having a re-tune surely has to be cheaper than buying a new computer.

R31Nismoid Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Two tuners in AUS, limits you like a dog with 1 leg. I'd never have/use any ECU that isnt reasonably well supported around the place. If you have an issue with the tuner or anything similar, your stuffed. You cant even get help over internet forums etc for it. Not that all forum stuff is right, but at least it aids in trouble shooting etc. Im sure these forums have saved a lot of people, a lot of money over the years IMO - Rip it out, sell it on ebay as paul suggested, and buy a decently accepted ECU. And also depending on what other ECU's you are thinking unless you go top shelf for Motec of Autronic the other manufacturers are inferior to HKS F-CON. I must admit though it's all about value for money but having a re-tune surely has to be cheaper than buying a new computer. You'll find it'll probably workout similar in price especially when you considering PFC's are only $900 and anyone can tune it, so for what, $1500 you can have a new ECU installed and tuned. Choice is clear. All the extra "features" ths F-con might have over a PFC, you simply will never need in a road car also. Hell, if a PFC is good enough for your 'run of the mill' 350rwkw circuit GTR, cant be that bad for $900 now can it? I don’t see value in something that I'll Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/209359-hks-fcon-v-tunning/#findComment-3992632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
