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.

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not noticeably. Arguably, the catless turbo is going to work harder in a different direction, as it will spool up faster, go to higher speeds more easily. Only if it was tuned in the original condition. If it was a stock tune, using the AFM before and after the cat/dump change, then no, no retune needed. If the car is running on a MAP sensor, then it might well benefit from a retune. It might even run a little dangerously without a retune, but it could quite easily be fine.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      We had this blend that uses 98RON + 10% Ethanol which brought it to 100RON. It's no longer available anymore unfortunately.

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
