Just something about Mines Ecus, I know a few people who had problems with them, all R32's thou. Cars ran like crap or just died all together. Signals started to weird, eg rev counter (ecu driven) would go erractic etc. Never heard of an R33 giving problems thou, so hopefully it will last for you.

As for finds, bendi-rachet type screw driver kit, towels (even one in my door?!?, spanners, cd's, magnetic card for a Japanese Pizza place and even once in my sisters car a new jap gold credit card... 0h yeah, mine had what looked a student id card (or some id with photo) as well. Geeze they left alot of crap in mine...

Yeah... Ive got a Mines ECU and im not happy with it...

I am gonna actually get it out and swap it for a standard one. My fuel economy is really bad... 200kms per 60litre tank... Really Bad... Also on cold mornings it will serge in revs... This did not occur before the ecu. Also when boosting for a really long time it will boost cut, even tho i have a boost cut defender. The mines ecu overrides this signal....

Mines have one simple issue.

They are a one shot tune, which can only be re-tuned in Jap. If your car has come into the country tuned with one in it, it should be a good thing. Buy one second hand and you never know what mods the car it came off had.

With this in mind you can not really expect to do anything major with the car without getting it re-tuned in Jap.

My car came into the country with a blown ECU, I was given a Mines ECU off a wreck. The car started but ran like a dog. Too much fuel and bad cold start maps, I assumed the car it came off was highly modified. I would highly not recommend anyone buy a second hand Mines ECU, but if you have one working fine now, you will be limited to any future mods.

P.S. I have one for a 33 GTR, which I’m not going to see for the above reasons.

      Research research research, and tackle the important things first, like the rust, because as a wise old hippie and some crazy horses once said "rust never sleeps" Nothing good comes easy and fast, and nothing that comes easy and fast is typically good

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I made an extension of the item circled above in red that is hard wired to the battery and tucks away nicely in the engine bay, could easily do the same if it in the boot, just run the extended cable out under the bonnet or boot lid, I then just stick the charger on a milk crate to get it off the ground

      RB25 Oil Pump Regulator Washer???

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's purpose will be to stop the regulator plug from leaking oil. As GTS said, if it seals properly, it will mainly just have the effect of slightly higher oil pressure. I'll assume tolerances/fitment in the relief valve aren't that close that the washer being missing won't let it vent at 100% capacity too.

      Using Trickle Chargers

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I put the charger in the engine bay and run the power cord down through one of the holes in the undertray, or at the back end of the engine bay, any time I need a car to be on a charger outside. In fact, I bring the extension cord up through into the engine bay so that it's not dragging around where it could get wet, or easily unplugged.
