Hi Guys,

my mate is selling his r33 s1 mines ecu, very mild tune. Came of r33 s1 manual, pod filter, 3" exhaust, fmic.

not moving from $300 as its a safe tune.

pick up welcome from sydney. delivery is $10 express post.

Any more info on the tune? Hows the fuel efficiency and how was it mapped?

fuel effeciency feels the same as it was when it was stock only because in stock i kept hitting r&r and using alot of un-tuned fuel...

this map seems to take out all flat spots, but does go really well compared to stock i personally love it.

idles alot smoother to my stock ecu (after i got exhaust)

ah ok,sounds good. would it need any dyno tuning if i put it into my car? and how much power did you make with it?

<br />please research "mines ecu" alot of information on them, its just a chipped ecu, which i prefer as it maintains all the safety features of the stock ecu, which in my beliefs the jap engineers seem to have got right.<br />

Hey man, ok Im pretty interested here, but just want to know, do I need to have a fmic on my car for it to work properly? (since yours has been tuned for it). wud i need to get a front mount for my car run alright?

With a mines ecu are they model specific or can u run them on both series 1 & 2?

Also could u post the Mines serial number in the first thread so i can look up the specs for it as i have one tuned for massive mods and am interested in yours.

cheers Davo.

davo where is the serial number found? also could you advise how i can search the specs too for future reference?

all the specs are on the mines site (mite need to google/translate some of it). Umm a mate is using my ecu atm so i cant check but from memory it has a gold and silver mines sticker on it and on one of those is a serial or reference number. I remember trying to look up stats ages ago its a bit of a hassel tho.

ill get the details soon, in the meantime do you mind posting the link to that section of the sitE?

http://www.mines-wave.com/

email them the Mines Plaque serial number and they will email u back with something like this:

Thank you for your email and query.

ECU Serial number shows the following tuning specs:

1. Removed the Speed Limiter

2. Reset the injection and ignition timing

3. Expanded the rpm from 7700 upto 8200 within the Rev Limiter

4. This VX-ROM is for CA18DET, MT, vehicle year (May.1989 - January.1992).

Oh forgot to say on that link click the english version banner then click the inquiry banner then click the Q3 link. Then all u have to do is fill in info of ya car and they'll get bak to ya wif whats done to that ecu.

Also did u hear any ping on 98 octane fuel? and when u installed ya mines ecu did u check your base timing?

Edited by Driftin~Davo
I've emailed them twice with no reply, are you sure these guys understand english?

Either way specs or no specs from the japs, the car was running the mentioned above with safe a/fs.

By safe A/F's did u measure using a wideband meter with a 3rd gear launch to redline on aus fuel 98 octane?

Also would ya mate b interested in trading with my mines? I can get the specs for ya but my mate that is borrowing it said runs way to ritch with stanard injectors.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
