GTChannel Exclusive A mere 3 weeks since the all new 2009 GT-R was delivered to dealerships in Japan, the top premier Nissan tuner, MINE'S has already come out with a line up of performance aftermarket parts for the GT-R. Some how the math doesn't add up how in the hell they pulled it off so fast but lets just imagine that Mine's prez Niikura-san made his employees work day and night without sleep to get these products developed quicker than anyone else in the world. This also means that by the time the GT-R hits the streets States side, Mine's will already have parts available for anyone who wants to go faster than the other guy in line.

This is a GTChannel exclusive as these photos are not even on the official Mine's website, mines-wave.com.

In this photo you can get a sneak peak of their suspension system which is currently in development. Mine's Niikura-san has also stated they will release the VX-ROM (tuned ECU) and the VX-Air filter.

Prices of these kits are still not disclosed. Hopefully we will get them too you soon.

- New titanium cat back exhaust (Silence-VX Pro Titan II exhaust)

- New cat convertors (Super Catalyzer II)

-They have also confirmed they will be coming out with a VX Rom (ECU upgrade) and a VX air filter upgrade

how much more hp will gain? lol

looks like the battle between MCR and Mines is hotting up, both are doing their exhaust at the moment. I think there should be a race every 4 month to test their wares.

of course their fast out with this stuff. Nissan would have either given them a GTR to work with aaaages ago or given them detailed schematics/blueprints, whatever of the car to develop stuff like exhausts,

There's been a history of Nissan working with tuners/developers, Mines would have been at it for a while

is this true? didn't know that...other then nissan maybe a lot of other manufactures do this also?

bad example, but Altia had the R34 before it was released to develop the 'aero kit' options for the when the car was released. You could buy the parts themselves direct from 'Altia' but most people for some reason know it as a the 'nismo' option kit; when in fact the Nismo kit is entirely different.

Autech, i believe, have had cars early and worked in conjunction with Nissan before as well.

These cars went on sale in japan last month only, you think you could develop parts for such a car as the new GTR AND to the standard of Mines, in a few weeks?? Mines and MCR, and who knows who else, Top Secret, HKS, would have had some GTR's early i would imagine. Mines obviously had 1 early

In this case i would have to call bs. I wouldnt doubt for a second that mines could make an exhaust in a few weeks.

I mean we are talking about mines here, and an exhaust is pretty simple to make. Its not like 10000 hours would have gone into it etc

You'll be suprised matey. I have done extensive research and consideration on the japanese movement towards quality after WWII led by people such as Deming.

A company like Mines is not just like a bogan exhaust place here in australia. They won't just spend 1 day jerry rigging an exhaust together and selling it like that. E.g. if you go to any bogan exhaust shop, ask them to make an exhaust for you, they'll make it in a few hours. But that is not how the japnese are. It would be engineered so well and so perfect that it is as good as oem quality.

That is how the japanese operate - quality centric focus.

Thanks the the tip, do you have any other obvious things to point out? Perhaps that the sky is blue?

for one, how would you know if the exhaust you made was actually a performance UPGRADE?? you could EASILY make a part that would be detrimental to performance. I remember a mag article ages ago where they were playing around with a heap of different options for a Type R exhaust, in the end, they couldn't improve on the factory flow. They could sneak a little more top end but response suffered.

You think a company like Mines is just going to go "oh that fits, it's made of titanium, it's going to be aaaawesome!!" F*ck no, they'd have real world and dyno testing to make sure they've created something worthy of the Mines name.

I wouldn't think for second that, given the amount of development time this car had, it was incredibly easy to go and better what Nissan has done in a few weeks. Of course in time the after market parts will offer some serious upgrades, but it takes time and on a car as advanced as the R35 GTR, you're not just going to slap titanium bits on and live in la la land thinking you've just created the ultimate car

even if you replaced all the factory metal bits with titanium, the weight reduction would be somewhat advantageous. Could possibly save that 1/10 sec. That 1/10 could give you the ultimate bragging rights.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
