Mines Computer

[CMS Drifter]

Hi guys, My friend has just found out he has a Mines computer in his Z32 300zxtt.

What exactly do they do?

I understand that it is a remapped computer, but how much gain can we expect over standard?

My friends that have them in there Skylines are very happy with the results, much better than factory ECU, about 30rwhp gain.

See'ya:burnout:

I'm no expert on ecu's, but wouldn't the power fc be better, just for the fact that its adjustable.

also i've heard that with the mines ecu it can be sent back to mines if you change your mods and they ajust it accordingly, is this true??

[TTT]

there are no tuners in Aus that can use/adjust the MINES ecu's and therefore if you make a mod, then the ecu must be sent back to MINES JAPAN and they will reprogram it and include the mod you have made.. but just say that you got a nw intercooler from Mick Metalcraft or some other Aussie brand not known over there..

they can't adjust it for that because when they make adjustments, it's like ticking off a shopping list.. eg.. new upgrade to intercooler - HKS, tick..

so I don't know how usefull these are here in aus if you are going to make other mods then what you already have..

The mines computer works really well in lagwagons rb20 31 but in my r32 it lost like 30hp.

Dunno why.

but i guess you can just tell them the intercooler's size and specs and they'll try to match it up

yeah, like everybody else says.. .mines is pretty specialised - it is fine for japan.. but its like the whole ECU has to be reprogrammed to exact specs using Mines equipment.

I'd go for a more local-friendly ECU.. powerFC, wolf3d, microtech, motech, and probably a couple of others.

Im about to buy R34 GTT and the one Im looking has Mine's ECU. I wonder if that will be any good for performance and reliability or just a headache since tuner will tell me that he s got no idea how to adjust or even check the ECU because its something they r not used to...

So Im afraid of getting the car with Mines ECU and getting ripped off. In case it malfuncitoins and not working what do I do? Worries worries because I have "no idea about Mines ECU"

Buy a factory ECU then piggy back it. Negotiate price to free up cash to include this stuff.

I have a Mines Tuned ECU in my R32 GTR. I only have a cat back exhaust, the rest of my car is standard (boost, turbos, etc....). In terms of reliability my car is perfectly reliable for the australia climate, RON of fuel (I use BP98). Cold starts are perfect, etc......

I aggree though with some of the guys here that if you want to start modding your car then you would need to look at a aftermarket ECU (pref aussie made one e.g. haltech) as there is local support and servicing). If you are going to leave it stock then enjoy the car as it is!!

my 2 cents......

[nigs]

I also have one in the R32 GTR.

A bit rich, pops flames and all that jazz.

Car has run up to 1.1bar on stock turbo fine. Very cold night though.

Doesn't like certain fuels. The car runs a bit more sluggish if not on BP Ultimate.

I'm going to guess these things were tuned to run 100ron fuel. As there is a big sticker on the inside of my fuel flap with some japanese writing and "100ron!!!!" on it.

probably about 20kw and a broken ring land!!!

They are no doubt alright on Jap fuel but they are no good on Aussie fuel. There is no such thing as being able to send the ECU back to Japan and have them modify the tune successfully!!! Every car is different and if they werent why would we need to create individual tunes for cars that have the same mods!!!

Get rid of it and buy a Power FC!!! your pistons and rings will be eternally grateful!!!!

There ok for a cheap 200 buck upgrade, but once you start getting serious way it goes for a PFC or something like it.

Its just takes things away like boost cut speed cut different air flows and little things like more flowing zorst. not much at all.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i have to ask..

I just recently went to install a safc and found that i have a mines ecu.

Now before i start solderin away, will the safc still work fine with a mines ecu?

I cant think of a reason it wouldn't but can you guys?

cheers,
