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

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
