go the Fcon, as a Stand alone it will be a much better ECU if tuned right, and as you say you have the goods.

I can guarantee a few people here will be HIGHLY interested in the results of an FCON.

good work hooking that up.

this is guna be a projec and a half , well i got some good info time to start playn around

ill start with the ecu and go from there as any mod after can be done with tune

yeh i've also heard your going to scott for some fabrication work. good decision lol

ye i like his idea of a turbo set up good researchn on his behalf

im also after a dump pipe and front pipe with sports cat to suit a kaki n1

and for now hopfully ill get a copy of his manifold adapter to use while i look at getn a full custom manifold

S t High tech

quoted a full stand alone ecu hks f con pro and install for 4 gs

what you guys recon go for it or na go emanage piggy back

S t high tech Soichi is well know tuner for nissans used to work for nissan japan before comn to nz

he recomends the hks and recomends satnd alone when upgrading turbo

also hes like a farts distance away from me 30 sec drive

( drool appeares at corner of mouth )

I can buy an Fcon for $1800 in Japan, it will come with a plug in harness and all required sensors, is he charging you 2 grand to plug in a loom and tune it with the help of preset maps? Sounds way too expensive when you compare the results im getting with a $600 unit.

The HKS unit is still a piggyback unit but YOU cant use the software, unlike the Emanage. It has greater tuning resolution which you realistically wont notice and a few extra adjustments apparently, but wont adjust cam timing or throttle as I understand it. I agree it is probably the better unit but at 4 times the installed cost it would want to be...

I wouldn't bother with the manifold as we are restricted in turbo size anyway due to the factory placement, im pretty sure the stock manifolds will flow 350kw which is around what a GT30 will ever flow.

Check out the HKS 350z kit, they used our stock manifolds by the looks of it, meaning it wasn't worth fabricating. I could make one but engine out job means it probably isnt worth having the car off the road for another week.

he is talking about using the full hks stand alone ecu not the piggy back

price was for harness and install

also he is well know for tuning skylines and is very competent with the hks plus being around the corner kinda makes it all like the way to go

Edited by Sidius

and I thought I was spending lots of $$$ on my car...:whistling:

well all i know was that he said for the nm35 with the turbo that i bought and mods i want go full hks stand alone with install

gather that hell work it out

dont the stageas like getn a new ecu ?

I agree, HKS is a good option, but at that price I would feel ripped. Is he saying an Emanage Ultimate cant do 300kw? lol.

he just said he prefers hks has used it for so long and has used it on so many skylines

also being ex japan nissan tech he said he prefers using them with the nissans

http://sthitec.co.nz/

check out his diary, about us and cars hes done

Seriously dude, doesn't mean shit unless he's worked on an NM35 or VQ25DET before...

so far he's shown that he doesn't know the FCON V Pro for the VQ25DET is going to be a piggyback setup.

Not sure if that's a good start. I mean everyone's gotta start learning somewhere...you can do ECU swaps but you'd need to import them from Japan. Nismo/GZONE/Impul...

You can pick up late model fcons off this forum.. for 500ish.. buy the loom for 400ish from japan and vola!

and you better hurry.. as m35 shit for fcon is going to be discontinued...

p.s. sometimes people think fcon vpro is standalone in some cases... but in a few it isnt.. m35 is one of them as is gtr.. simple mistake..

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
