As it states ive got a MINES ecu from a S1 R33, which have the ignition module above the coil packs.

I tried to put it in a car which obviously is a S2 RB25 (this doesn't have an ignition module, wether its built into the ecu or the coils i don't know).

anyway plugged it in and it started but ran like shit etc etc........ POURED fuel out the exhaust..

Straight away my thought was Z32AFM, cos the car the mines ecu came out of had one on it. Ive got a Z32 sitting here and we are gonna wire it up once i get a plug, but then i thought maybe it was something to do with the ignition module problem???

any suggestions would be great, we just want to get a bit more power out of my mates car before the weekend.....

MINES ECU = not really any value to you in Australia.

- Support only by MINES offered to original purchaser of unit

- Usually not tunable by anyone else

- Do you know what level of mods it was tuned for? Are you sure?

- Most likely tuned for a higher octane fuel than you'll see locally.

i tried a series 1 remapped ecu on my series 2 rb25 and it felt flat as a tack and had no power at all, but it did start and run ok, just had no power at all, so i dont think they are fully interchangle. as razorsharp said mines ecu is useless in aus, throw in the bin

it was making 173rwkw on a car with 11psi, pod and cat back in AUST...

we figured that it would make more on this engine with FMIC, turbo back zorst/dump pipe and more boost.....

no matter if it doesn't the parts were there to try..... no harm done

any ecu can make lots of max power

but its running mega rich through the entire rev range regardless of load (likely as its mines) then its pointless for everything else other than to waste fuel and do max power dyno runs. youll have terrible economy on the street not to mention the low down response is probably fairly average with standard ign mapping

much better to get a new remap or stand alone

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
