Hks Japan 2.8 Engine Build

[elrodeo666]

HEHE

Guess, when you get it tuned from HKS them selfs, it a bit hard to find a replacement

if you do find a place in and around brisbane or getting someone down to tune in December and Jan, let us know... there fare few F-COn people in here, that might want to get there's tuned as well

Yep definitely hard to find but hopefully my tuner will come out for a bit of holiday sometime next year and do a bit of tuning here and there.

you need to put a carbon front lip on to match them then they will look good

Yeah that was what I was thinking but have stayed away from that as already have gone through one FRP Top Secret lip from scraping the crap out of it and the cars not that low as only running Nismo S-Tune Suspension.

I'm pretty 50/50 decided on the exterior carbon as prefer cars with more sleeper/standard look .

[UWISSH!]

id suggest keep the mirriors as they are and get rid of the grill

but to make it look a little better id sugget a carbon wing blade, that way the mirrors wont stand out or look out of place

or maybe even just do the front lip in black with the carbon wing aswell

[rsmagnum]

Looks like the engine of my dreams.

Nice look at the bay too !

Stock exterior with the front lower lip in black. Clean, simple and stock

Yeah I think thats way I'll keep it but not sure on the black lip.

Thats genuine plastic lip on there now. I kept it stock black for awhile but didnt like it so painted it white.

Seems like the tow truck guys who delivered it after compliance didnt like it white and decided to help me remove some paint.

Oh well looks like I'll have Nismo 400R front bar a Nismo lip for sale soonish.

If your in Brisbane and need a tune, GT Auto Garage @ Newmarket..... They are a pro HKS dealer and Dave the tuner there is top notch with fcon. I have a Fcon Pro and i have no faults whatso ever. Check out my build and see what they have done for me.

I don't know of other tuners that travel to HKS factory to learn product information and recieve training, esp with tuning.

Looking into these guys as if I can keep the Fcon I'd prefer to as just need some mods to the tune to run on Oz fuel Octane.

Thanx

No worries bud....

Ill hopefully be heading back to the shortly to have a couple of maps setup ie; for pump fuel and E85...

Nice build buddy, good to see another top quality motor build in Oz too...

[elrodeo666]

Gave them a call just before..good guys and hopefully can get it sorted..

I want to use them tunes I have but modify it for Oz fuel !!

[dahandfull]

Good work man.... They'll definately look after you. Im sure Dave will work his magic with the maps to suit what you need.

Awesome man. I had a chance to see this beast in real life (Thanks for the Clutch dude!) and it looks 19032821907408317480932784x more amazing infront of you. The piping kit and 2.8L stroker looks damn sexy. Oh yea and the Kansai strut bar!

Look forward to seeing you in the future during the club activities.

Just read the whole build and am pretty impressed to say the least. Hows the car going now thats its been back in OZ for a while. Any new developments?

This is a very interesting build compared to what I am building, your is Jap Spec mine is Oz spec, id love to see what the dyno print out would look like when its done here in OZ, as you know the dyno they use in japan is alot different unless they have used the same type.

Cheers

I have not looked at this for awhile as been occupied with medical dramas with my misso and have been in Japan and Korea since just after the earthquake except for a 2 week hit back to Oz.

Car has not had much done to as of late but been stock piling some bits and pieces for when I get back and then get cracking on getting it on the road in Oz for a bit of fun.

Mate it was nice meeting you when I got to come back and yeah the HKS bar does look nice.

Tried a few different brands out and ended back with the HKS as by far the lightest and easiest to keep nice and shiny.

Hey Bobby hopefully this will be tested in the not too distant future although I am considering a full strip down ground up respray but plan is too get it on the road over next few months.

Yep for sure some Jap dyno's are very figure happy but one thing they do get to do in Japan is final fine tuning blasting on the highway.

Well after carefull deliberation I've made the unhappy decision that I can not enjoy and drive my car like I could in Japan.

I'd much rather have a car I leave in Japan to belt around and race over there.

So I've made the decision to return the car to stock and sell all performance parts and engine off.

I've done a bit of extra work on the car since it arrived in Oz but will now be selling everything.

I'll be putting up a 4 sale thread over the next week with all parts, spares etc that will be up for sale.

Once the car is returned to stock I'll be selling that as well.

I'm not fussed about doing this as have got something else on the burner in Japan but have not 100% committed to getting that project off the ground as yet.

Be sad to see her go, but in the end its time to move on and start something else.

Mother of god. No!

Hi Marcus, tough decision and a shame you can't enjoy it here.
