Mine's Gt-r Breaks Into The 59's At Tsukuba


Recommended Posts

Mine's have posted a 59.3 around Tsukuba with their full Mine's spec GT-R. Modified suspension, ECU, exhaust, brakes etc.

Mines’s have solidly broken into the 59’s around Tsukuba by posting a 59.367 with their modified R35 GT-R. Modifications include full Mine’s Spec III suspension (Sachs dampers, Eibach springs), Mine’s VX ROM ECU, Mine’s Silence-VX Pro Titan II exhaust and upgraded Mine’s brake rotor kit (400mm front rotors). Driving the GT-R was Tetsuya Yamano.

To compare against standard GT-Rs, the best we have seen is 1.01.9 posted by MCR when their car was still standard. Other quick times for modified cars have been a 1.00.2 by Amuse with their modified GT-R.

i guess there would be alot more to come from it as well? Was that time with gutter interior etc. etc.? or did it still have all trim? I still dont think it could break that HKS evo time :teehee:

Standard interior minus seats which have been changed but yeah that saved a little weight.

It will be really interesting to see hwo the R35 goes at the goat track. Big heavy car and constant changes of direction. I iamgine its going to be huge dollars to get them down to the sort of weight that will make them competitive with the R34s and EVOs etc

So. hows this time compare to others?

Anyone got a list?

Standard R35 GT-R best time was 1.01.9 or so.

Z-Tune R34 GT-R was 1.00

Power House Amuse Time Attack R35 GT-R was 1.00.2 in January

Most recent Evo X does 1.06.46

Most recent STi does 1.05.95

There are a lot of other times for cars like Ferrari 430 and 360 CS but I don't know the sources of those times.

Cant compare the two just yet IMO as MINES needs more time to develop the R35, they set the benchmark very high with the R34 though

Couldn't agree more, they set the bar so high with the R34 its going to take a bit to beat it with the R35.

I for one hope they do it and set the bar even higher again :(

Evo did it at 00.54 mark. :(

And wasnt the R34 an N1 to start with? Then on top of that they have carbon boot, carbon propshaft, titanium exhaust etc. So the car isnt exactly std weight. The N1 is already lighter, so all up could be 80-100kgs lighter then a std car.

I woudl love to tap the doors on the Mines R34 to see if it also has carbon doors...so wll be interesting to see what Mines do next to the car to get it quicker then the R34

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
