Shortly the crew at ESP will have their 4WD dyno ready,but there's really only Pete at Autotech Services and DTS in Fyshwick and Jake's Performance in Mitchell,all 2WD. Me? I'd hold out for ESP's unit:it'll be worth it!

ESP? LTSjayce have they been around long? Can i ask where they are located?

Purchased my car a couple of weeks ago (after about a year without an import) and i would like to get it tuned by a good and reputable workshop, it has a mines computer in it and was wondering if any tuner in Canberra would have mines software?

ESP have been around for a while,flying under the radar of normal,everyday tuning. They're most noted for their big hitting gold street/drag supra and the 513 AWKW STi WRX 'Diablo'. They've moved to new,bigger premises on Gilmore Road,Queanbeyan. It's the old Capital Harley Davidson building,about halfway down the road. Daniel(AKA 'Shafty' from his days at Shaftmasters) and Glenn are champions;nice fellas that'll listen to what you want from your car.

As for the Mines software,I'm unaware of anyone in Aus' that's got the stuff. From the little info' leaked out of Mines,I believe it's a flash-type software;a reflashed ECU is their speciality. There are people capable of doing such work in this country. Wheather or not ESP has dealt with the Mines gear,I can't be sure. Howvere,they'll have a red hot crack at getting a solution for you.

Just slightly off-topic,but still to do with tuning,I'll still back Ed' & Anthony at Integra Automotive. Whilst they don't have their own dyno,they have a few at their disposal,and are tops at looking after imports. Could be worth a call!

Hope this helps... J

Jayce is on the money re the Mines ecu, Blitz Access ecu is along the same lines. Chiptorque in Nerang are about the only people I know in Oz with a 4wd dyno that can reflash after installing their own chip. I understand Dr Drift in Melb can also do it but not sure of the contact details or dyno access. Some people seem to get very good results with the Jap 'flashed'ecu - but you really need to run it up on the dyno and see, at least for safety sake.

Afaik DTS dyno is 4wd, at least it was when I went there.

Cheers

if you do a search it should yield some results. there was also an HPI article some time ago and from memory they found the pre tuned ecu was very rich with not a lot of gain. the thing with those ecus is that you don't really know for sure what they are tuned for although there are guidelines.

warm idle should be about 950 rpm cold about 1100 but then again it could be the ecu.

cheers

Shut up beau...

Anyway back to business.

Trojan in mitchell do my work for me. Very good. Know more about Skylines than Nissan. They currently use the dyno at jakes. See John.

As for Mines computers. As far as I know they are virtually untunable. They are mostly used in conjunction with other hardwear like Apexi SAFC's for example.

So I might have to think about getting something easier to tune like a power fc. Seems to be a popular choice for the gtr's. Might wait till i get back from overseas and see how much money i have left.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
