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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
