Seen these before? Easily remapped? Anyone even got one? ~800 for a trade in ur stock ecu for one of these sounds ok...

I asked Mine's and they said this is only part they hold for ECR33's. They are still alive and kicking.

I dont know where you get $800 from, but you need to check your exchange rate. 96,000 yen is just over $1000 plus shipping of your ecu there, plus weeks wait while they send one back, plus the shipping back. It would be over $1200. plus it's just a re-map of a standard ecu. you could do it here for less (hell you get buy a power FC for less) and at least whatever you did here would be tailored to your car and aus conditions.

There must be some benefit though. I mean you pay ~800 (because I did conversion... dont make this an argument about conv rates its about vx-rom.) and you trade in your ECU for this one, it has to be something better than just be a Mine's part.

Do you pay the amount just for a re-mapped ECU and a Mine's sticker on it? I sent another email to Mines to give me all the features about the ECU. They got back to me within 2 hours last time so well see.

I got to say I'm a big fan of Mine's tuning, they do a fantastic job on their cars.

go ahead and buy it, but i can tell you, it's just a remapped standard ecu with speed limit removed, rev limit raised, fuel cut removed and mapping suitable for higher boost. and yes the price is relevant to this thread. 96,000 yen is over $1000AUD plus you have to pay for shipping both ways and do without an ECU for a few weeks. a power FC for instance which is readily tuneable can be had for around $1000 AND you still have your old ecu so no time spent off the road, and when you swap you can sell your old ECU for say $150. Total cost then is $850 + tuning.

I also think mines are a great tuning company, but buying a pre-tuned ecu from another country, from a tuner that has never seen your car is not a smart idea. taking your car to mines and getting them to map a chip for you in real time on the other hand would be great. if you lived in japan that is.

and FTR I have previously used a mines ecu in one of my cars.

^^ his right mate. i also love the mines tunning shop & their work. but honestly better to get a power fc and get it locally tuned. i sold my power fc that came with my car because it wasnt tuned and i didnt have the money to tune it at the time so i bought a mines ecu. i 100% regret doing that hahaha. dont get me wrong the mines ecu is good for bolt ons (exhaust air filter etc), but once u start doing injectors/afm etc u'll need something that is re-tuneable.

    • Good kit using modern components https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r32-a-c-air-conditioning-replacement-kit-r134a-fpg-039?variant=43586428862642  
    • Hi All, My R33 GTSt has a broken air conditioner condenser, and receiver drier.  Trying to find replacement parts (specifically a new receiver/drier) has been a nightmare.  Is anyone able to point me in the right direction, please?  It doesn't need to be OEM, just fit in the OEM space with the appropriate pressure switch. Many thanks, Michael
    • I thought DW was one of those things that people thought was the bomb ~10 years ago and since learnt not to use their stuff? Because it's not any better than a bunch of other options, and definitely worse than a number of other options.
    • There will be wiring, preferably crimping. The whole "skyline specific fuel pump" marketing that DW uses is a lie. It's just an ordinary fuel pump with all the ordinary bits that come with it. You still need to do all the wiring that you would have had to do otherwise if you bought something like a generic Walbro 525 pump.  Other things to consider (based on my horrible experience using DW pumps) * How is the fuel pump sock attached? On my old DW pump there was no locking mechanism, it was an interference fit and after a couple of years of driving, the sock came off. I now have a random fuel sock floating around in my tank =/ * Does the fuel pump have an internal check valve? My old DW pump didn't. Not having one is a pain. Just another thing to buy and faff about installing into your fuel line. I wish it was stated on the product box/online description 'no check valve'. The product description gave no indication if it had or didn't have one. I wouldn't have bought it had I known it didn't have an internal check valve.  * Consider the depth the factory fuel pump sock reaches in the tank. If you install the DW pump in the stock location and use the baby sized sock supplied, you will find yourself running out of fuel with like 15 litres of fuel still in the tank. + * Do you have any plans to use e85 in the future? Now is the time to install submergible e85 fuel lines in the tank.  
    • I have ad blockers and automation breakers (like NoScript) installed on all my browsers on all my devices. I have a PiHole at home and use other forms of DNS blocking to prevent the advertisers, and more importantly, the trackers from google, meta and all those other kunnts from watching what I do. They learn NOTHING! Or at least, as close to nothing as I can make it. I don't care if google knows that I'm searching for things. But they can get f**ked tracking my every move. Plus, when surfing donkey porn, the automation breakers help to prevent driveby trojan installers.
