Hey guys,

Just wondering if anybody knows how to tell if a GTR has been tuned/modified by a Mine's workshop?

My GTR just arrived. It is modified with:

HKS GT2530's

Adjustable suspension

17" AVS Type 5's

Full Mine's exhaust system including cat back and front/dump pipes

Mine's replacement boost guage in the centre console

Mine's ECU

extra guages

possibly cams

oil cooler

injectors

Z32 AFM's

Trust drag spec front mount

The Mine's ECU actually has a plaque on it - not a sticker, but a small metal plaque, and it's also numbered.

It'd be really cool bragging rights to own a Mine's modified car, so how do u tell guys?

Cheers,

Alan ;)

Well by the sounds of it ur car looks like it has had some work done to it by one of the Mines garages over there or it could of been all setup via another garage and the previous owner just wanted Mines parts or he could of installed them himself with his mates in his backyard.

Umm, that doesn't really tell me anything I don't know dude.

Thanks for the attempt anyway.

I was probably trying to get at the plaque on the ECU - does anybody else with a Mine's ECU have this metal plaque? If not, then it'd be pretty safe to say that it would be a Mine's tuned car in one of their garages.......

Cheers,

Alan :D

I'll have to double check mine, but I have a MINES 320km dash and MINES tuned ROM aswell, I'm sure it has the plaque on it

As for yours, it could have been done by anyone in japan, probably not really any way to tell. look around behind the console and see if you can find anything

for me, it makes no different in anyway mine's or the bloke next door did my exhaust, gauge, injector, even bolt the turbo on.

even the car been tuned by mine's it is still nothing special (no offence at all)

it's only a mild tune car and anyone can do the same thing

Mine's is a workshop after all

if yr car been throw in 100g and the work been done by mine's, then it makes a different cos they know what they are doing at hard tune

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
