Hey guys, now that i am in the world of M35, has anyone thought about Fcon? and does anyone happen to know what fcon you need? v pro? or just the normal is or whatever it is? and or what version fcon is needed? 3.1 3.2 3.3 i have a 3.2 version in my GTR, and also a special program i'm not ment to have :yes:

F-Con V Pro has a VQ25DET harness available and is what most of the Jap tuning houses use in NM35's.

VERY nice piggyback. Go for it! You have a tuner in Sydney (1 of only 2 in Aus, the other is in WA).

Expect to pay big $$$ for it and for the tune.

They are probably the best piggyback going around (bit better than the eManage Ultimate), but are a pig to tune apparently... and you need to know Japanese.

will investigate of there is no other cheaper option, fcon's go for very cheap on this forum, but there are 2 hks dealers in sydney, 1 in brisbane, 1 in wa, and i am sure melbourne should have one by now.

it works very nice in the gtr, i was considering changing it but i decided not to since i have access to some software to tune.

Rest assured, I can get one in Melbourne... but without a tuner down here it is useless! Only Sydney and Perth house F-CON tuners (DAMNIT!)

No, just a normal factory ECU is all we need!!!

Let's just see what we can get out of a Remapped ECU, it's worth getting in on the SAS dyno and seeing what they can tweak out of the system and how much fuel efficiency can be improved!

And the added bonus of not affecting insurance premiums for those that can take the remap option over a piggyback one.

Dirty play Stephen... Dirty play.

Hey, I never said I played clean or nicely with the other children :/

And please, no rock spider comments! I don't have boiled lollies in my pocket.

I've posted a few questions to Tom from SAS via email, just awaiting a response.

But what I have asked is:

1) Can you also find out what kind of results they have had in the past with Z33's and V35's?

2) Rough estimate on cost to remap ecu

Got a reply from Tom, it's still sounding good to me. I'd rather spend the $1200 - $1400 and have the remap done as apposed to going for the piggy back system.

Let's track down a ECU for a guinea pig :/

Stephen, Being N/A and already highly strung the v35's still pick-up about 15kw at the wheels and we can get rid of the factory tune's pinging problems. 350 series are $1200 to retune. We are also able to do some of the last series of stagea (m34?) and r34 25neo ecu's. I'm unsure of what they pick-up as the only one I have done had a slightly larger turbo, injectors and nismo afm, but from other turbo experience I would expect at least 30kw at the wheels. We charge $1400 to custom program the 25neo ecu. Yes we can definitely retune at a later date to suit further mods, and would come at a much revised price as the ecu is already set-up.Tom

Just asking because Northshore have a white RSfourV with sunroof, for sale... but no aero kit

Not bad, aftermarket pedals and a tubo timer?!

Also I notice it's a 2001 but has a different TV screen to the normal, was this a factory option or an aftermarket job?

---

Just rang Ben and the pedals are only clip on's, he doesn't know too much about the turbo timer but said the car is very much standard which makes it a good project toy :rofl:

FAST for the above car, please note this laptop has f**k all fonts, couldn't get the japanese character to display correctly.

So correct me if I'm wrong, this one doesn't have TV/Sat Nav??

Correct. No tv/navi.

You can tell because there is no pop-up button as you would see be on a car with the pop-up screen when the screen is down (if that makes sense)

If there is just a plastic flap, then it is just a storage compartment.

As it is on that RS.

ecu remapp seem like a good idea..

If only we could track down a spare ECU, testing and development may have a chance to begin :(

I would rather a spare one be fried in testing than one of ours :D

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
