As such, I am looking at purchasing a revenue ticket on Hong Kong Express arriving at 1410. This leave three hours to transfer but I will need to go through immigration and customs, then check-in again.

Does anyone know if it's possible that if I just had carry on luggage and checked in online for my JAL F flight, can I just transfer without clearing immigration (i.e. just stay airside)?

Cheers for any help.

No customs/immigration. You're transiting through Japan. You will have to go through security again.
