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.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
