Just something about Mines Ecus, I know a few people who had problems with them, all R32's thou. Cars ran like crap or just died all together. Signals started to weird, eg rev counter (ecu driven) would go erractic etc. Never heard of an R33 giving problems thou, so hopefully it will last for you.

As for finds, bendi-rachet type screw driver kit, towels (even one in my door?!?, spanners, cd's, magnetic card for a Japanese Pizza place and even once in my sisters car a new jap gold credit card... 0h yeah, mine had what looked a student id card (or some id with photo) as well. Geeze they left alot of crap in mine...

Yeah... Ive got a Mines ECU and im not happy with it...

I am gonna actually get it out and swap it for a standard one. My fuel economy is really bad... 200kms per 60litre tank... Really Bad... Also on cold mornings it will serge in revs... This did not occur before the ecu. Also when boosting for a really long time it will boost cut, even tho i have a boost cut defender. The mines ecu overrides this signal....

Mines have one simple issue.

They are a one shot tune, which can only be re-tuned in Jap. If your car has come into the country tuned with one in it, it should be a good thing. Buy one second hand and you never know what mods the car it came off had.

With this in mind you can not really expect to do anything major with the car without getting it re-tuned in Jap.

My car came into the country with a blown ECU, I was given a Mines ECU off a wreck. The car started but ran like a dog. Too much fuel and bad cold start maps, I assumed the car it came off was highly modified. I would highly not recommend anyone buy a second hand Mines ECU, but if you have one working fine now, you will be limited to any future mods.

P.S. I have one for a 33 GTR, which I’m not going to see for the above reasons.

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
