I have R33 with F-Con and have been down the track of trying to find a tuner, there isn't one. The boys at Aris checked it out and they say no go around Brisbane. I am ripping it out. I wan't something that is tunable and affordable and can be easily locally re-tuned as I do further mods. I think it is important to have a drivable tunable car with no grief.

I have 1 as well and as far as i know the only polace to get it tuned is in Sydney. I havent heard of any1 else having the software, its a good computer but i hate to say it its useless in australia, best thing to do is to take it and sell it, and get an apexi or something similar.

Ok Boys, it seems as though there are a few of us with F-Con. We need to kidnap ourselves a Japanese Computer Geek and get him to download the software from where ever geeks go to download stuff and then get him to convert it into English. We then need to kidnap ourselves a Japanese F-Con Tuner and all will be sweet.

The other option is that we all move to Sydney.

I just wanted to say this about Skylines. We are all driving awesome machines no matter what stage of modification we are at, it is only the cash that seperates us. I feel no rivalry towards other Skyline drivers and am just glad to be one of you. If you see other cool Skylines don't snub the drivers, we are from the same family.

I have also found that GTR Skyline drivers are a little rude towards us GTS drivers, don't be. Save it for those Fords and Commodores out there who are jealous of us all, both GTS and GTR drivers.

We are all driving the battle gods of the road, argueably the most easily modifiable and drivable and affordable sports cars ever built.

Simply awesome cars.

Peace.

Amen to that. Speedy, you are my new god. You say smart things.

Speaking of smart things, why cant someone tell me the advantages of the FCON over the PFC? Or the advantages of pretty much any of the computers. I dont really care if the PFC comes out on the bottom of the pile, I just wanna know the differences between them (in an easily readable, easily understood list)

ok from what I've heard from people in japan the actual hks fcon is no better than the standard Apexi power fc. (its like asking the difference between and whats better a wolf or a Link - its personal preference) Only the Hks fcon v pro is meant to be heaps ahead. It runs off a map sensor (no AFM) is the really the only major difference that i know of. But then again you can always get a Apexi power fc drag pro if you really hate the afm ..... have fun finding someone to tune it though :rofl:. The fcon v pro is meant to be the major preference of jap tuners .... just about all the D1 s15's run one .....

ok i have a solution for everybody who needs their fcon tuned, the software and connection loom costs around 250$ all up including shipping and the rest or maybe even less thats a estimated price... anyway i know some1 who can tune the fcons if we get the software, it might be a good idea that every1 will split the costs 4 the software and evey1 is happy that way. what u think?

software and loom for @250? get real, HKS would never sell the software to some fool off the street, you'd have to lease it at a fee and be certified to use it. But if you can get it for $250, I will have my own cable/software please.

apparently the united states have th engine software for these ecus .....only thing is its like australia and their real strict as to who gets the software .... what do you have to do to get the software from HKS? Do you have to be a HKS dealer or something? Cause I know there's more than one Offical HKS dealer in Australia.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
