i tell u now it does NOT run like a crap box

I have a Mines ECU in my 32 GTR as well and it runs very nicely. its not running over rich and it has a hell of a lot of power for a standard GTR. It holds its own next to my mates GTR with pfc, cams, turbo back exhaust, and running 1bar boost!

if u use a mines ecu ur car will run like a crapbox :)

There is nothing about the mines ecu that means a car will run poorly (or well) just like a PowerFC or any aftermarket reprogrammable ecu; its all down to the tune.

If there is a problem with the mines ecu, its that there are very few tuners outside of Japan (and particularly Mines) that have a way to reprogram it, so you tend to be stuck with whatever tune was last performed in Japan. Given the fuel differences, that can be a problem.

gazza750: The safest (and cheapest) thing to do for the time being is to whack it on a dyno and check the air/fuel ratios. Once you have those you will have a much better idea of the suitability of the tune and whether its necessary to change the ECU straight away (i.e. if you discover its running lean and might damage the engine) or can put it off for awhile.

I also have a Mines ECU for my R32 GTR. Does anyone want to swap a standard R32 ECU for my Mines retuned ECU??

It's currently running very well on the car and also has the 180km speed limiter removed, which is great for track work and drag racing. But they cant be re-mapped due to the epoxy glue over the chip.

Im willing to do a straight swap!

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
