Hi everyone. Ive come accross an R34 GTR ECU that has a gold mines guarentee plaque on it with a serial number on it 00544. Im not very clued up on this sorta stuff. Do all the stock ecu's have this? Or is this something non factory? just curious

retuned ecu in japan by Mines...... rare(ish) and worth some dollar$

best to get the gtr on a dyno to see whats being altered by the remaped ecu re: air/fuel mixtures

remember jap fuel is a higher RON rating than aussie fuel, she's been retuned, so you'll need to check out whats happening there... could run lean on high boost with aus fuel in the heat of summer.

It will most likely have higher RPM limiter, 180kph limiter removed and as Brendan has said modified air/fuel values.

The good advice is get it on the dyno, stat.

i would say not worth a box of biscuits unless it's still attached to the car it was tuned for and even then it'll cause headaches.

You can't tune it, so you can't change your cars setup basically and you won't be able to use it in another car or you're asking for massive trouble.

i'm assuming it's a VX rom, but good luck being able to find someone who can do anything with it - you're most likely c) lock it in eddie

Maybe something to take along with me when I dyno my new toy! I could plug it in and see what happens.

If it didn't come with your car I'd think twice before doing that.

I had one that came with the car, was not that good in terms of tune and I did sell it to a person with similar mods for a cheap price :cool:

While the tune *may* be fine for your car it might not be, I have not heard of someone having an issue with a MINES ECU but I would be testing it carefully on the dyno...

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
