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!

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
