Your answer - HKS F-CON V Pro (version 3.24 + only)

Now before the critics jump up n down waving their arms around; yes it is a piggyback :happy: But, it's better than a PFC, it works on the auto on Nissans and is one of the most popular ECU systems in Japan.

paying for the guy to come out and tune sounds really expensive

i live in Far north QLD and that in itself would be an expensive trip

let alone dyno hire costs etc

I have an r34 auto and im slowly narrowing down my options

but it seems my best bet is a dr drift tune if/when he comes up here

another option is the greddy emanage piggyback system but no one up here can tell me if it will work with the tiptronic auto (does it ???)

I should have bought a manual

Greddy Emanage does work; talk to 666Dan about it I think... there is a bit of DIY stuff you have to do to make it work though, something to do with the resistors?

Hopefulyl one day the HKS ECUs will become more tunable and let people from other states reap the same benefits.

I can wait - I'll just grab yours when you're finished with it Stan :P

Useless in SA, can only be tuned by an auithorised HKS Tuning Shop using the HKS supplied dongle and software. Which HKS charges an arm and a leg for.

:( cheers :(

was tongue in cheek - anyway, Im sure Stan would love to pay for the 1st tune as part of the "deal"

lol, quite happy with the safc/sitc combo, cheers

:laugh::( :sorcerer:

According to some "rumors" which I'm yet to justify, there are other tuners out there for HKS ECUs... whether or not this is true I don't know.

SK; why you always shuttin me down for :( LOL it's all good... as you said, friendly discussions never hurt anyone :)

how do you adjust the air/fuel ratio with an safc when the factory ecu just keeps correting it via the o2 sensor?

The standard (slow and narrow) lambda sensor only works for constant throttle cruise and idle (generally called closed loop running). At ANY other loads (that's the other 99.9% of the time) the mapping has full control of the A/F ratios (open loop running).

:ninja: cheers :laugh:

I dont think it is as easy as that..... What is the throttle position? What is the AFR? How much load is it under?

When I had my safc tuned in my r33 it took them a good hour, and 4 or 5 dyno runs to get it perfect, and it bloody did well, gained 28rwkw and ~300kms EXTRA out of a full tank of petrol, was VERY happy!! :laugh:

    • I didn't know about induction heaters but checked them out and they look awesome but too pricey for the occasional job like this. And I'm too nervous to take a flame anywhere near there as the petrol tank is so close, although I was intrigued with the crayons suggestion 馃榿 I filled a coke bottle lid with penetrating fluid and raised it on the jack so the nut was submerged in it all night. Then went in with a tiny cold chisel and got it almost to the point of splitting but not quite (I didn't want to damage the bolt threads). Then I hammered a socket back on and gently worked it until I felt movement. And it's off 馃榾
    • I should. But it already uses too much fuel for a daily. You might note my recco for engine chnages are almost exclusively to people who have it as a weekender/summer car. I don't even have room to keep the spares for this one, let alone another car.
    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
