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.Quote:

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.
Woow nicee.. I wonder if an JDM EP3 gearbox would fit. Would be pretty cool hahaQuote:

FD1 has a R series engine
two different engines, two different gearboxes.
Really? I thought the VTI & VTI-L are R18 SOHCQuote:

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 :<
what transmission did you put in o.0?Quote:
