yeah thats a HKS FCON pro, great ECU and tons of features and options

useless outside japan as you need a HKS pro tuner with their software

basically sell it and buy a locally supported ECU

otherwise your stuck with whatever tune and setup the car is

if the car is ok and you dont want to change anything, then keep it

Thanks Guys, it was not mentioned really on the auction report, but i though it looks similer

I contacted GT Auto before for another car i was getting with HKS F Con, seems Few Jap R34 GTR got them now

I am only after mild tune and they should be able to sort me out.

When the time comes to put in some GT-SS (maybe 1.5 years time) will rip it out and put in Power FC or something, so i got lot more tuner choice, but maybe by then brisbane might have more people with HKS license to tune

FCON supports MAP and AFM and also has 32x32 maps

Out of interest, someone like me.. who is only after mere 240 or so AWKW from a GTR, will there be any special benefits of sticking to this ECU, than lets say... common man ECU - Power FC

its covered in the powerfc FAQ, but the main issue with the FCON is no local tuners

if you can find one, its probably the only one in the state, so whatever service you get, you have no choice but to go there and pay their price. with other locally supported ecu's you can choose your tuner and price, and if its crap, find another and away you go

any ECU can make any power and be driveable etc

so dont expect one ECU to make power than another

Haha, I was the same with my original power goals. Got bored though. If you think you may want to chase more power, I'd investigate some other ECU's as well like the Vipec plugin, Link, Haltech etc.

Had work done at GT AUTO and they were excellent.

Even if I wasn't looking to put an Fcon in my car I would take it there.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
