Mine's R34 Tune, some Q's

[ex_zero]

Hey guys, this is my 1st time posting, just wanted to say hi and some questions for you guys.

Has anyone seen the Best Motoring Vol. 5 with the Mine's R34 car in it? It has the HKS GT2530 turbos in it right, and I note that the rev needle just skyrockets once it's on boost. Is this the characteristics of the turbos? Meaning if you put the same turbos in a different skyline, that you would achieve this sort of response? Or is this more of tuning the engine for more response, i.e. change some engine parts beside the turbos to get, to get that kind of response?

I've seen that mines R34 and it rocks...

Mines tune engines to be response out of them.

bigger turbo = more lag = less response.

as it said that vids he didnt want to modify too much... he wanted the owner to be able to modify their car as whatever owner like.

they only done the engine tune.

cheers

there will be alot of other stuff to the engine and other components that mines has done r&d into to that thing rev from 4000 to 9500rpm in 2 seconds!!

Is there any specific distributor of Mine's products in australia? I know Mine's is just a tuning shop, but you reckon they could give a list of the things they've done to it, or maybe there is a list out there already? I guess my next question would be, how to get your gtr to that state of tune? Reason why i'm asking, is I'm planning to get an R32 GTR and would like the same state of tune as the Mine's, as this car will be for track days.

i doubt there will a spec sheet of whats exactly in the mines car, the japs wont even publish their comp flow maps of their turbos let alone giving u a spec sheet of a car!

with mines computers i beleive u can send it back to them and tell them ur mod and they will tune it to spec?? my friend has a mines computer in his gtst .. he said it gave a bit more power but i guess it wouldn't have been tuned to his exact mods ..

yep ya can send them back to jap mines to get them retuned...to get mines parts sent to australia..you would prob need to get to know someone that live in jap and that will purchase them for you, or go thier yourself to get them.. Be warned they are no cheap.

damm, and here i was thinking i could get a skyline with the same response as the mine's

but for overall response, what do you reckon needs to be done to the engine?

Or, are you guys saying the retuned computer would do that?

You could achieve the same response using the same turbos. You don't have to have a MINES ECU either, but, a decent aftermarket one would be a must and then of course it'd need a good tune. There'd be other mods involved, of course, but to get the response like that - It's basically down to your turbo and ECU tuning. CAMS also help the cause as well, from what i know.

in search of this, i just remembered there was an article in HPI about the Mine's R34. But it didn't have any info on the tune of the engine, except for the turbos, cams, Mine's tuned ECU, big capacity air flow kit, and lightened body to 1300kg. The Cams i'm thinking would make it wind out harder and faster, i.e. response?

Here's the URL. http://www.mines-wave.com/

you dont need a Mine's ECU to achieve there performance.

Go to the site, click DEMO Cars and you'll see the R34.

Use altavista.com/ translator for the spec sheet.

u can always fly over to japan and visit the mines factory and pick yourself up 1 of their cars if u reallllllllllyyyyy wanted 1!

sweeet, thanks man, i'll look it up, it'd be awesome to have that kinda revability

[ex_zero]

lol, if only i had the money!! that'd be so awesome though,

"Can I have an R34 just like your demo car there?"

"Sure, if you could just give me 150kAUD"

"Let me test drive it first........vrrooooom"
