I kinda got emotional for a sec seeing how much older Niikura-san has gotten compared to when I saw his appearance on Best Motoring with the R34 demo car. That episode also featured Hideki Tanabe from Powerhouse Amuse and their Supra and he passed away some time later. I lost my dad 2 years ago and it just reminds me of the passage of time. Love GT Channels content.

Built for 900hp, and then tuned for 600 because that's the best to drive. I miss that philosophy these days.

[@QrisSx]

Visited the Mine's shop on a business trip in December 2011 and got a passenger ride in the R35 GTR as well with Niikura-san! Nakayama-san's knowledge is insane. Car accelerated so fast that the toll-booth card got launched into the back seats where we couldn't reach it. He forgot his wallet in the shop so I had the honor of paying the toll for the car on the way back :D Got invited to a tire-test the next day at Tsukuba to see the R34 in action, one of the best trips of my life, filled with those things that I will always remember and treasure!

[@nzuncovered1845]

[@tilmonr]

I went to there shop when I was stationed in Japan. They've had the engine on display for a very long time. Bee-R racing's shop is not too far from mines.

[@jakehewitt2520]

I appreciate your understanding of the full essence & purpose of the GTR monarchy, and especially how Mines have always carried a unique vision of less is more whilst embracing the whole autonomy of the GTR as 1. Whilst there are many part timers trying their limited knowledge with JDM car reviews. It's an honour to view your material espicially with Mr Niikura.

[@samanhabib5591]

The builders seemed extra excited and suprised at the depth you went with them. As engineers the surface area of the conrods and what not is the good stuff

[@jonwebb9261]

[@JDMRightHandDrive]

I absolutely love this tour. Watashino to visit Mine facility in Japan.

[@nismoskys]

Incredible inside look at the shop, the people, and the building ethic. Feels like a very special VIP access pass you've shared with this video. Thank you!

[@Nishimachi_Photography]

This is especially interesting as a Skyline owner, and I've recently replaced the engine after main bearing failure.

[@gav240z]

I love RB26 engine also. Just a beautiful piece of kit. I was priced out of GTRs so I got a Stagea 260rs and love it. Sometimes I open the bonnet to just look at the engine.

[@philspaghet]

Man, this car I remember from videogames. Even in Gran Turismo 4, the Mine's R34 GTR didn't feel like a typical GTR, it felt 500lbs light because it would respond so quick, it felt like a big rally car almost!

[@gopaulsalick507]

That mines r34gtr brought back some memories. I remember when tsuchiya drove it many years ago

[@Fuzion180]

[@JDM_DUKE]

When he picked up the 2 connecting rods and 1 piston at the same time .. the builder wanted to remove the piston from his hands to place it back in line with the others so no damage would happen i caught that and chuckled llol

[@rickqueen65]

Once COVID-19 has calmed and things get back to normal, it's my dream to visit Japan and Mines. Truly amazing! Respect! Love the channel bro.

[@reynaldiwidjaja277]

I always love Mine's tuned they're low key looking but once you drive them they're fast !

[@imaginova88]

I've been a fan of Mines and other now legendary Japan tuning houses since way back, and there is that element of awe watching the Mines master engine builder talk about their builds. But I also can't help think that a lot what he talks about, "strengthened parts" and the "secrets", are fairly basic procedure here in Australia where it can be argued that the RB development has surpassed Japan for some time now. Especially when you consider the price of a mines engine, you can do a much more serious build with a billet stroker kit, vcam etc etc for less money. Not detracting from a great video though!

[@johnhonor9616]

Agree. The number of built RB26 cars in Australia is huge.

[@RealAnthonyJones]

I think a few locations outside Japan they have definitely surpassed them when it comes to tuning for the highest hp. Drag racing is a small niche over there compared to other countries where its far more popular and people will do anything to make the power to win back 10% of what they spent.

[@bk13na]

RB development here in Aus has surpassed that of in Japan for over a decade now. All the RB builds in Japan look very dated compared to what you can find here in aus. Just look at all of the fastest GTRs in the world, they are all in Australia and use mostly Aussie parts from brands such as Nitto, Hypertune, and PRP.

[@mathieuastaes3237]

I agree with what is being said here that the fastest GTRs in a STRAIGHT LINE are build in AUS no doubt. But as was said many times in this video, they don't tune for humongous power. They tune for balance, usability and response. That's what Mine's specializes in. You get a great hyper reliable engine that could push more than double what they tune for if they really wanted to. But at that point, it's not useable anymore unless you're running slicks, etc etc. Drag racing isn't all that popular in Japan so huge HP builds are just not as popular as they are in other countries.

[@Xboxracer1]

So much respect for Niikura-san. Amazing contribution.

[@sneakthieve]

Gods amongst men! So awesome getting a peek into the philosophy of Mine’s head mechanic. Could not imagine how well a mine’s k20a would rev or how balanced a new Miata could be

[@IaintTrynaGoOutLikeBIGnPAC]

Spoon Sports is the equivalent to Mine's for the K20A.

way more this cars history will drive it higher

[@UnrelatedNonsense]

Just wait until R34 GTRs become imported. Someone is going to get their hands on a mines and they will end up on auctions. Sadly they will probably never be enjoyed and just sit in climate controlled environments trading hands between the ultra wealthy.

[@fabiolopes8185]

They have a Nissan Note also. It would be interesting to learn more about tunning in more regular cars in Japan. I remembered JUN Auto had a interesting Suzuki Swift a few years ago.

[@themrjones]

This was amazing, what a great episode. And I think the Master meant to say in America they go 3500 hp. The Honda motors are at 1000+. Hell we have 1400 hp jet skis with Honda k24 motors in them. Just think there's people whipping around on lakes and jet skis with almost twice as much horsepower as Mines R-35.

[@dudzdomasig]

Not used to not hear "Peace out" at the end of Capt's videos.

[@wezkerlim]

the way i look at it, mine's is pretty practical when it comes to functionality, like response & reliability over crazy power figures, light rims, carbon propellor shafts etc. i'm just curious why they didn't adopt the z tune kit as it's proven from an aerodynamic perspective, also such a great company didn't develop a new variable cam & valve lift system for both intake & exhaust sides, use electronic throttle body, trigger kits, & put on new coatings onto the motor's internals. some of those are gonna take response to another level while lowering the output & increase longevity (coating).

[@pduh42]

Such amazing content, I wish one day I can build cars like Japanese people. I'm fascinated by their craftsmanship. Just soo different than western.. Thank you for this video.

[@wabisabi6802]

Damn. Our heroes are getting old. 😥

[@Eric-ue5mm]

[@matthewmohri9990]

Love these videos. The reason why The RB26DETT, 2JZ, and even the K20 series engines won't die off or ever stop being used/rebuilt for quite a while is that their engineering makes them extremely reliable. Yes there are minor issues but they are easily fixed with aftermarket parts. It is hard to recreate the wheel. I wished Nissan would have continued the use of the I6 engines, but I figure in development the weight and distribution of the weight of using one might hamper with the handling. If anyone knows exactly why Nissan did not continue to use the I6 design for the R35, I'd appreciate the response. Thanks. So what I am getting for those who asked the question of what's better The RB or the 1JZ or 2JZ "Which one is better"? The answer is personal preference? .4 more liters of displacement in the 2JZ but doesn't rev as high stock, and the RB is 2.6L but revs higher. So more tq down low vs a higher rev range...Ideally if built properly both can have the same rev range and power band, so my next guess would be if one prefers AWD vs RWD when it comes to which engine to choose. The 2JZ and RB26 are both amazing engines in their own rights and the choice of which one to use comes to the the owner and what the owner chooses to use the engines for. I could be completely wrong though.

[@ellisjackson3355]

I thought a year or 2 ago Nissan started producing rb26s again as a heritage type thing

PRP has found through extensive block testing, that given the same stresses, a 2j will outlast an Rb26 block. It comes down to use case whether it really matters or not. But the sound, can't be compared. Nothing sounds or revs like an RB. I'd give my left nut for a Mines factory built R34
