Hey guys,

Just wondering if anybody knows how to tell if a GTR has been tuned/modified by a Mine's workshop?

My GTR just arrived. It is modified with:

HKS GT2530's

Adjustable suspension

17" AVS Type 5's

Full Mine's exhaust system including cat back and front/dump pipes

Mine's replacement boost guage in the centre console

Mine's ECU

extra guages

possibly cams

oil cooler

injectors

Z32 AFM's

Trust drag spec front mount

The Mine's ECU actually has a plaque on it - not a sticker, but a small metal plaque, and it's also numbered.

It'd be really cool bragging rights to own a Mine's modified car, so how do u tell guys?

Cheers,

Alan ;)

Well by the sounds of it ur car looks like it has had some work done to it by one of the Mines garages over there or it could of been all setup via another garage and the previous owner just wanted Mines parts or he could of installed them himself with his mates in his backyard.

Umm, that doesn't really tell me anything I don't know dude.

Thanks for the attempt anyway.

I was probably trying to get at the plaque on the ECU - does anybody else with a Mine's ECU have this metal plaque? If not, then it'd be pretty safe to say that it would be a Mine's tuned car in one of their garages.......

Cheers,

Alan :D

I'll have to double check mine, but I have a MINES 320km dash and MINES tuned ROM aswell, I'm sure it has the plaque on it

As for yours, it could have been done by anyone in japan, probably not really any way to tell. look around behind the console and see if you can find anything

for me, it makes no different in anyway mine's or the bloke next door did my exhaust, gauge, injector, even bolt the turbo on.

even the car been tuned by mine's it is still nothing special (no offence at all)

it's only a mild tune car and anyone can do the same thing

Mine's is a workshop after all

if yr car been throw in 100g and the work been done by mine's, then it makes a different cos they know what they are doing at hard tune

    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
    • I would like more noise related info for my truly uneducated guess  Does it do it at idle or when revving, clutch engaged, and disengaged? Does it only do it when the car is moving? I've heard "similar" noises from a clutch pack that left the chat room, and CV joints that have chewed themselves out But as Matt said, how's the yokes, tailshaft and centre bearing going after their last little issue Fingers crossed it is something simple  Weird noises make me cringe 
    • One other question, is there a chance that changing the idle speed can lead you down a rabbit hole and is the reason the tuner didn't touch it? Reason I ask is because if that's the reason the tuner avoided it then I probably shouldn't be touching it lol.
    • Pfft. As if I'd ever point a high pressure washer at my car.
