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.

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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
