and I could use this fc-hako to change fuel maps between 98 and E85?

I am right in thinking there is no other way to change fuel maps other than hook up a PC to the powerFC?

Sounds like a good idea to be able to change tunes without the laptop.

What settings are different?

I might be able to implement this without a PC involved, and allowing the hand controller to be connected to the FC-HAKO. I could make it that if you do a specific function on the hand controller that the FC-HAKO will read / write TUNE 1 or TUNE 2.

I think that is a more elegant solution.

Some more news / updates:

1) FC-HAKO now works with Toyota JZX100 auto (v3.43) as there is a PowerFC firmware bug. I guess it doesn't matter for the Nissan / Skyline crew :) Massive thanks to the Russian who was very patient in helping me debug and resolve the issue. Without people like him, it's very hard to resolve obscure technical problems. With english not his primary language, it was even more impressive that he managed to comprehend my instructions flawlessly :)

2) Repaired another PowerFC (Subaru WRX), this time a communications port failure. So it's legitimate what Apexi advise to NOT disconnect and reconnect HC (and other devices) while the PowerFC is powered up. Eventually the PowerFC comms port will fail.

3) Apparently Copilot development will cease.

4) Apparently Apexi (or AP Engineering) attempted to do a PowerFC for the VG30DETT as evident in this screenshot

5) FC-HAKO works no problems with RB26DETT D-Jetro PowerFC.

6) Haven't sold one FC-HAKO to a Nissan Silvia owner in Australia yet. Hmm.

BK.

i recall seeing a VG30 pfc somewhere, i thought it was just a rare ap eng rip, or you think its just something recently?

and re: DO NOT disconnect hand controller while car is on, i have seen this erase tunes etc and damage it

ive seen my own car "reboot" when plugging in the hand controller, ie ECCS relay clicks and the engine looses idle for a split sec

anyone tried the Rb25 DJetro yet?

we are still yet to see one in production, i wonder if its legit ap eng or just a custom set tune

ie if you DATA INIT, what happens

weird, never realised it could do that. disconnected and reconnected myne hundreds of times with the engine running whilst messing around with datalogit and never had any issues. might stop doing that.....

Yeah ive heard my fuel pump re-prime when the ignition was on but the car not running when I disconnected my hand controller, can't be good..... Lol

I have an old version of the power FC so I thought it was

Just that

    • Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this ๐Ÿ™
    • Hi, Marek here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
