Hi everyone. Ive come accross an R34 GTR ECU that has a gold mines guarentee plaque on it with a serial number on it 00544. Im not very clued up on this sorta stuff. Do all the stock ecu's have this? Or is this something non factory? just curious

retuned ecu in japan by Mines...... rare(ish) and worth some dollar$

best to get the gtr on a dyno to see whats being altered by the remaped ecu re: air/fuel mixtures

remember jap fuel is a higher RON rating than aussie fuel, she's been retuned, so you'll need to check out whats happening there... could run lean on high boost with aus fuel in the heat of summer.

It will most likely have higher RPM limiter, 180kph limiter removed and as Brendan has said modified air/fuel values.

The good advice is get it on the dyno, stat.

i would say not worth a box of biscuits unless it's still attached to the car it was tuned for and even then it'll cause headaches.

You can't tune it, so you can't change your cars setup basically and you won't be able to use it in another car or you're asking for massive trouble.

i'm assuming it's a VX rom, but good luck being able to find someone who can do anything with it - you're most likely c) lock it in eddie

Maybe something to take along with me when I dyno my new toy! I could plug it in and see what happens.

If it didn't come with your car I'd think twice before doing that.

I had one that came with the car, was not that good in terms of tune and I did sell it to a person with similar mods for a cheap price :cool:

While the tune *may* be fine for your car it might not be, I have not heard of someone having an issue with a MINES ECU but I would be testing it carefully on the dyno...

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
