Mine's VX ROM (ECU flash) for Nissan 370Z (Fairlady Z34) 01.01.09

Asheth · 01-09-2009, 05:01 PM

Well I guess you could look at the 350Z is it limited?

18rgcelica73 · 01-09-2009, 08:41 PM

Oh guatantee that the z should be able to go over 160mph ungoverned. Torque doesn't have very much to do at high rpm's at least not as much as horsepower does. Torque is really for off the line and mid range rpm, helps produce horsepower. Horsepower is derived from torque. Only time will tell as the z's start pouring into the showrooms and people start growing bigger and bigger balls.

If this whole speed limiter discussion stemmed from the fact that the flash "increases speed limiter," then please keep in mind almost all cars in Japan are governed to a certain speed by law. So this selling point is mainly for the Japanese audiance.

My 03 Eclipse GT isnt speed limited it takes forever to get up there but I have had it to 142. I will try to look for it but on the Club3g.com board I'm a member of there was something saying that domestic cars have governors on them besides the boutique vipers and such. I look for it.....

18rgcelica73 · 01-10-2009, 12:19 PM

In japan all cars regardless of their make or model have a speed governed to 110mph so the police can catch them. Then they buy the reflash or get a governer eliminator and then they go 170+.

I know it is being stated that this unit is a reflash, and I know it's from Mines so it's going to be expensive. But to me the unit sounds like a tunable ECU much like Hondata (Which is $1,000). I could see the price being justified if that's the case.

Supergoji · 01-10-2009, 10:23 PM

yes this is better than any dyno tune out there right now because mines has taken the time to figure out the vvel.

mr_desmo · 01-11-2009, 11:19 AM

go here for the right page What's New? so whats included:
Specifications are as follows.

・The speed limiter has been removed.
・The rev limit has been changed.
・The injection and ignition map has been changed
to increase the response and fuel economy.

So yeah expensive as hell for 3 hp but id like un speed limit and rev limit to 8000rpm!

I didn't see this mentioned in the thread yet, but remember, in Japan the standard octane in gas is much higher than even the most premium North American gas.

This was discussed on a GTR forum, namely the JDM R32-R34 GTR's that were being brought over to Canada and the US in droves. JDM ECU tunes will be operating on the basis that you're running Japanese fuel, not North American fuel. You'd have to re-tune the tune to adjust for the Octane deficiency!

JDM Tunes are not only dangerous to use on USDM-bound but Japanese-made vehicles, but they are entirely ridiculous given the access to reasonably priced ECU tunes on our shores.

My advice, take it or not, is that a Mine's or any other companies ECU tune, be it piggyback or reflash will eventually ruin your car, even if you're running 94 octane. Seriously look into ROM Octane conversion charts before buying a JDM Ecu Tune!!!

Bringing this back from the dead to further discussion about the Mine's VX Rom.

I think it's important to note that the quoted information is completely false as the octane ratings in Japan are not directly comparable to our own here in the states.
( RON Octane Rating x 0.95 = AKI Octane Rating )
98 RON Octane x 0.95 = 93.1 AKI Octane (US measure)
100 RON Octane x 0.95 = 95 AKI Octane (US measure)

Also, has anyone at all used this rom? I have been unable to find any other company who actually tunes the VVEL... I imagine this is where a lot of power can be had.

mines doesn't even tune vvel

It says that it does. I'm only going off their website.

1slow370 · 03-21-2011, 01:50 AM

no they can't they list a generic header for all z's hence the cvtc, evtc comments as our car doesn't have evtc it pretty generic and is really just a reflash of basic things uprev is superior.

NIZMOZ · 02-10-2009, 09:32 AM

Are they nuts?!

UPREV $400 (I think or a hair more). They already have a 370z ECU and will probably release it in the next few weeks.
