Anyone with a HDS in melb?

[fsjk85]

I've just completed my transmission swap on my FD, last thing left is to get the manual ECU programmed for which I need a HDS (Honda Diagnostic System).
So does anyone know someone that has one in Melbourne who's services I could hire?
Don't feel like having the dealer tear my wallet a new hole for inserting a plug.

How much did you cost to do the swap? Including parts.
Try giving RevZone a call. I know they do Hondata there so they might be able to help you out or point you to the right direction

Will give RevZone a call tomorrow.
Was a DIY job so cost me nothing in labour, parts cost totalled about 1200 including tranny, machined flywheel, new clutch kit, fluids, shifter assembly, ecu, etc...

They were reluctant to do it for some reason, the search continues.

FD2 has a K series engine
FD1 has a R series engine

two different engines, two different gearboxes.

I was gonna make a DIY, but most of it is covered here

Hardest part was removing and installing the transmissions, took like 3 hours just to wiggle the auto out from such a tight space
Clutch pedal took some effort as well
and yes, i got the R18.

Back on topic, might have to buy the HDS myself :<
