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.

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
