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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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).
