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

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
