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.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
