I'm importing a 33 that currently got a HKS Fcon V pro with map sensor, and i'm just wondering if they are a total waste of time?  So far i have never heard of any one in Australia being able to tune them.  any ones thoughts?

pick up a navigator as well and you can tune it yourself or with advise from a tuner.

BD4's, as far as i am aware, have the only english version of the HKS Fcon V Pro software in australia.

There was another guy on the forum that had some jap guys come over with the jap version and tune some cars here, but i think they have left.

Short of doing the same, or going to japan yourself, BD4's in sydney are your only option....that or buy a MoTeC.

Ring and speak to BD4s, as they have in the past they have issued the software etc to SAS to tune cars,(Dont know if this is a common arrangement though)

So its possible they could lease/lend a workshop in Brisbane the software.... i imagine it would have to be a shop that Paul is familiar with and comfortable with, but can perhaps be arranged.

Bu tlike Steve said, im OZ there are easier/better management avenues.... htough its interestign to note that a majority of the serious Jap streetcars run the HKS F-Con over the Apexi Power Fc.

ok, from what i have read now, Silverwater Automotive also tune them?

true. but last i knew they just hire the stuff from bd4's. dont know what the go is now.

Software is supposedly in japanese only and you have to be certified by HKS to have access to the software.

true. but the FconV Pro version 3.0 and higher are in english i believe.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
