The Mine’s demo car is arguably the most infamous street legal GT-R ever…..

It is of course the the brain child of Niikura-san, and the embodiment of the tuning philosophy followed by Mine’s. Simple and innovative design, focusing on balance and maximum engine response to realise the true potential of the R34 GT-R.

This car first came to fame after setting a record lap time of 57.746sec at Tuskuba raceway whilst competing in the street class. That means the car is fully street legal, fitted with all the factory ancillaries and not stripped or caged. What makes this car so special is that it is able to compete with cars in the open class, which are full blown race cars.

The reason for it’s performance has been the source of much speculation and rumour. There have been many myths perpetuated about this car, most originating on the internet from people with an overactive imagination. Everything from titanium running gear to a shorter wheel base. The truth is the car is just very well engineered, and built from the ground up to be the best in it’s class with no compromise to quality or cost.
