i discovered somthing

[MotoX]

well i jsut purchaced a R33 GTST a while back.

and they never said anyhting about the computer infact they know quite little about the car.

i took the kick pannel off today and on the ecu theres a gold plate saying it has a Mines ecu.

does anyone know if these are good? and what they are worth?

will have some pics soon, just gotta find this usb cable.

[Ozzy]

Nice one...

UAS have a 2nd hand one for an R33 GTR and are asking $595 for it.

[Steve]

If its free, it cant be bad...

[hungry6]

well done, good fine, in the r32 they're pretty good for a daughterboard system

[skyline33]

apparently everytime you mod your car you can send the computer to mines with telling them what you have done to the car and they retune accordingly and send it back.

i want a MINE'S VX ROM for my car... i found out you can get them for n/a ER34

[hippy]

yeah my cousin put a mines ecu in his car .. cost him 600 and he has a 33gtst ... so yeah ... lucky bastard!!!

MotoX,

My mate has one in his car, and it works very well, he has produced good power on his mods and does some decent 1/4 mile times. You can always sell it to offset the cost of a fully programmable ecu.

See'ya:burnout:

[MotoX]

haha yeah im happy with it, turned the boost up to 10.434 psi and it runs really fast.

but i need a front mount now, not too big.

heres a pic of my car. got a bit muddy out sat night, dam commodores drifting infront.

[MotoX]

well this is the ecu finally got some pics

[EnricoPalazzo]

Im hoping i have the same good fortune as u.

[Sydneykid]

Re Mines (or any other Japanese aftermarket ECU for that matter) they are generally tuned for 100+ octane fuel, so can be prone to detonation on the local brew.

[MotoX]

yeah i kinda figured that so im running it only on 98 octane fuel.

i want to get some decent race gas but i need a front mount before i do anything.

[MotoX]

o and a tip to all you people. search your boot side 1/4 pannels u will be suppriesd what u find,

(open boot pull carpet stuff off stick hand down side and watch for snakes)

mine has some wierd looking cotton gloves, stanless steal brackets with price tags, some japanese money and bits of newspapers.

*note* i will not be held responsable if u get bitten by snakes.

[KamikazeR33]

just a q, since im not 100% sure where to look for the ecu.... where should i b looking and what should i pull off to get to it etc????

only cos the last owner ofmy car sed that he wasnt sure if it had a a/m jap chip in it

[GTS-t VSPEC]

The ECU is located in the kick panel near the passenger side door, underneath the glovebox. It's tricky the first time you try and remove it, but once you figure out how the thing is held in then it's quite easy.

[KamikazeR33]

ahh ok yeah i pulled out the drivers side kick panel when i was doin my stereo the other day.... nothin 2 it

cheers

[JiMb0]

Hehe, MotoX funny you mention the rear quaters .... I searched mine about 5 days about as the person who was workin gon the car put the shifter pouch back in there with the jack and the shifter fell out ....

Found Japanese chewing gum (still in the packet), another shifter, misc japanese paper, and a few other goodies .... no snakes .... will have to check the other side Also interesting to check inside or the fron quater panels, and inside the doors ....

[Mr Squiggle]

Yep, I scored another wheel jack. I was always wandering what the noise was, lo and behold it was a jack....

In my passenger side door i found a nice biro and some sort of jap papers too. Oh yeh and a bibi gun pellet....

[MotoX]

HAHAH COOL
