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

I doubt anyone has gotten this. UpRev is the way to go for full custom tuning.

I believe AE Performance is running this on their track vehicle. You're right on UpRev though- many more tuners have the ability to tune via UpRev vs. VX-ROM.

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.

Weak. Well, maybe I should wait for Smokey Nagata to come back into town and tune my ****. Then I can have a cookie cutter tune and pay an exorbitant amount of money.
Yeah, UpRev is the way to go.
