These are great, if you want an easy relatively cheap mod a chipped ECU is a good one.

there is a noticeable difference between the stock and MiNes computers. They are rare to make good use of the exchange rate and buy it!

Not sure if a NisTune board can go on one or not yet, but if it works you've pretty much got a fully unlocked ECU that'll work with your Auto.

you have to be careful wit these JDM ecu's, they are fine tuned to jap fuel which has a higher octane than what we have here in australia. you could find yourself getting some pre detonation(knock) running the same setup it was tuned for but on aussie fuel. personally i wouldn't touch any of those JDM chipped ecu's, there are better options available in australia.

p.s that ecu is a S1 ecu, year model 96-97, so its not a manual ecu.

hey Guys

bought a S2 33 a few months ago fitted with a mines ECU, I havn't noticed any detonation, BUT I have to use 'top shelf' fuels otherwize I get a bit of hesitation, missing, backfire, generally a very unhappy car

on the upside I can tell which local servos have real clean tanks

I have a mines in mine which is pretty much stock in every other way. I find that it pings on small throttle applications so I have to retard it enough to get around the small throttle pinging instead of under load. The better the fuel the less trouble I have.

Mines looks like it has set up a english email support on its website. I haven't given them the details on my one yet but I will.

I believe they set them up for your application when they are first purchased. So they are set up for turbo A, cam B, etc

My old R32GTR had a Mines ECU, and I always use to run top fuel AND a bottle of Martini's octane boost with every fill up.

I still use octane boost with every fill on the Stag, but its a much smaller tank, so I only use half a bottle :P

Can get quite pricey though ....

Mind you if you have an safc and and sitc (which I do :D ) you might be able to get enough correction to get a good tune out of it. But I think I'd still rather do what tangles did and get a toshi chip made up, install that and then use the above mentioned to fine tune it. Would probably be cheaper too. I believe he got a pretty good result that way.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
