Mine's R34 Tune, some Q's

Hey guys, this is my 1st time posting, just wanted to say hi and some questions for you guys.

Has anyone seen the Best Motoring Vol. 5 with the Mine's R34 car in it? It has the HKS GT2530 turbos in it right, and I note that the rev needle just skyrockets once it's on boost. Is this the characteristics of the turbos? Meaning if you put the same turbos in a different skyline, that you would achieve this sort of response? Or is this more of tuning the engine for more response, i.e. change some engine parts beside the turbos to get, to get that kind of response?

I've seen that mines R34 and it rocks...

Mines tune engines to be response out of them.

bigger turbo = more lag = less response.

as it said that vids he didnt want to modify too much... he wanted the owner to be able to modify their car as whatever owner like.

they only done the engine tune.

cheers

Is there any specific distributor of Mine's products in australia? I know Mine's is just a tuning shop, but you reckon they could give a list of the things they've done to it, or maybe there is a list out there already? I guess my next question would be, how to get your gtr to that state of tune? Reason why i'm asking, is I'm planning to get an R32 GTR and would like the same state of tune as the Mine's, as this car will be for track days.

yep ya can send them back to jap mines to get them retuned...to get mines parts sent to australia..you would prob need to get to know someone that live in jap and that will purchase them for you, or go thier yourself to get them.. Be warned they are no cheap.

damm, and here i was thinking i could get a skyline with the same response as the mine's :devil:;)

but for overall response, what do you reckon needs to be done to the engine?

Or, are you guys saying the retuned computer would do that?

You could achieve the same response using the same turbos. You don't have to have a MINES ECU either, but, a decent aftermarket one would be a must and then of course it'd need a good tune. There'd be other mods involved, of course, but to get the response like that - It's basically down to your turbo and ECU tuning. CAMS also help the cause as well, from what i know.

in search of this, i just remembered there was an article in HPI about the Mine's R34. But it didn't have any info on the tune of the engine, except for the turbos, cams, Mine's tuned ECU, big capacity air flow kit, and lightened body to 1300kg. The Cams i'm thinking would make it wind out harder and faster, i.e. response?

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      By hardsteppa · Posted

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
