Mines Sticker On My Standard Ecu

[bernard R33]

havent had my R33 for long and today i had a look at the ECU. it has a little mines sticker on it and was wondering if this is normal on all R33 ECU's. Thinkin i could have been re-mapped while it was in japan. what r ur thoughts on this? dont know why it would have been re-mapped cause when i got the car all it had was cat-back exhaust and short shift.

it means we got some serious hardware in the car!!!!!!!

something about advanced timing or some stuff....I'm not too sure what that really means but it roughly translated to MO POWAH!!!!....so enjoy it while it last....coz once you get a power fc etc etc...u'll gonna have to rip it out

[paulr33]

its a remap, not that exciting

[bernard R33]

is it possible to find out what it has been re-mapped for? maybe before it was sent to aus it had some parts taken off and put back to stock?

[Husky33]

it was probably just mapped for an exhaust and boost.

And yes, remaps CAN be exciting if you get the right people to do it and tune it.

OR it means someone just put a mines sticker on it....

Lets hope it wasn`t remapped for much higher octane fuel.You need to get that thing on a dyno and check if it is safe.

It means you have a mine's remapped ecu. Mine's do all sorts of remaps. That's the thing. I've read the maps off a few mines ecus and they had different maps.

They're actually ok, despite what everyone says.

There was this mines ecu for an r33 gtst. Everyone know's what rich and retard is - basically, the ecu doesn't know what's going on when there's too much air flow.

The remap essentially increased the scale of the airflow that was recognised. The fuel map was left stock, but that's fine, because it's just slightly richer for safety. It idnd't go into ultra rich (that only happens with rich and retard).

The ignition timing was raised to different degrees across the map.

The ecu ran fine on Caltex 98 octane fuel as tested on the dyno carefully listening out for knock.

You really have to dyno the car to see what's going on. Some remaps are even for bigger injectors, bigger turbo etc.

Theres a guy on ebay who sells these from cars out of japan. Some are mines, some are Jun, theres a bunch of different tuning houses doing them. Claims the boost and speed cut are removed with more aggressive timing maps, but safe on 98 octane They usually go for 300-450 but the last one went for more than $800! Cray z...

Just thought I'd share that...

[lingeringsoul]

LOL u shitting me????? if he can sell them for 800 then I better start listing mine.

[VLT025]

Yeah that one was a bit of a freak though. I missed out on an earlier one for $345 but got a V-AFC2 instead for $150.

27/01/07 In case anyone was thinking of using one, it would pay to note that VAFC's don't work on AFM equpped cars, that explains why it was cheaper, but go figure, I put it back on ebay and it sold for $313....weird

Who is this eBay seller?

It is a Mine's VX-ROM. ~900-1000 new from japan with trade in of your current ECU. They remove the the speed limit cut and proper tune for any octane rate fuel you specify to Mine's. Until you get the car's ECU updated I would only put 98 octane in the car, forget about the "ULP 95 ONLY" and read it as 98 because the common octane rating mine's is tuned for is 98 and this sounds like the case because you have minimal mods.

EDIT: It's worthless here I heard because apparently only a few places can tune the Mine's VXRoms properly... I was looking into getting one last week and asked a few questions about it and every1 shafted me and said it was a peice of shit... but it says MINE'S ON IT!!!... lol.
