Marty - thanks for clarifying the Camp 2 situation...

First time I've heard of Tunehouse, they must be doing something right to get Pro Dealer status. However, being a HKS Pro Dealer and a HKS Power Writer are two seperate things. Are you saying that this Jim can tune the products as well?

If so, I guess it's good news as it opens up the market a bit more... would like to hear confirmation of that.

Correct. When we are setting up HKS Pro Dealers in Australia they will be Power Writer shops. So only Tunehouse and XSpeed can tune F-CON V Pro (there is a new version coming out soon as well) at the moment. Unfortunately BD4 didn't renew their contract and can no longer tune the HKS product so now Tunehouse is the only shop in Sydney until we sign/contract some others.

HKS will be visiting in Oct for more training on the new version of F-Con V Pro so its definatly worth the call. Jim's (Tunehouse) Chassis Dyno room is probably the most impressive I have seen in Aust.

Let me know if I can help with anything else. My email is [email protected]

Cheers

Marty

Marty, thanks again for the information.

2 things -

1) What is the new version coming out, I confirmed yesterday that 3.24 is still the latest available. What is the new number and more importantly what are the updates over 3.24? When will it be available for updating via authorized Power Writers?

2) To my understanding, the contract / license to tune F-CONs does not go by the shop, but the individual. So even though BD4s (which is no longer around) did not renew their contract to sell as a Pro Dealer, I am led to believe that the tuner (Tom) is still able to tune the units,

Do correct me if I'm wrong.

What i wa led to beleive about new versions was just for new cars really, because i have a 32 gtr any version over 3.1 is not really required.

tho obviously to run navigator i needed to update to 3.2. i would say camp would require me to update also.

it would be great *HINT HINT* for hks to release some data loging software for the fcon via a laptop :P

Thanks for the info Martin! :P

I really like the fcon, but tuning has always been its biggest problem!

with a large shop like Tunehouse on board it looks like i am safe :P

Yep. They look the goods.

Marty, thanks again for the information.

1) Sorry but I cannot disclose new information publically yet about the new version. We are under contract as the Aust Distributor and there are things I can't do legally such as give away this kind of info. When I can I'll post them up for you.

2) Tom did not renew his contract with us (HKS) so returned his tuning dongle key. He can no longer tune F-CON computers. He is still selling some old product that was in stock but will not be supplied anything new from HKS.

Cheers

Marty

    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
    • Yeah for sure that is peddle adjustment 
    • What are your thoughts on this after having it for a while, worth getting?
    • Downshifts are harder on transmissions than upshifts, the input shaft naturally slows down once disconnected from the engine so the synchros aren't doing all the work. There's no "natural" tendency for an input shaft to increase RPM. Something is not right there, I don't have a great answer on what. You can try a dedicated GL4 75W90, I plan to switch to Motorcraft XT-M5-QS which is supposedly a very good 75W90 for NB Miatas which have a weirdly sensitive transmission from the factory. I would chase down why your clutch is making a hissing noise, that's not normal. It might be no big deal but in the absence of anything else to investigate I would look at that.
