Legendary Tuning Shop - Mine’s Motor Sport
Home of the “ultimate engine response” philosophy
Mine’s is a tuning firm based in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Mine’s was started by Tsuzo Niikura in 1985. It attracted attention in 1988 by being among the first Japanese companies to sell re-programmed ECU systems for popular Japanese sports cars. Today it sells many products, ranging from injectors to complete engines.
Mine’s currently makes software upgrades for hundreds of Japanese cars, but only makes engine hardware upgrades for a few select cars. It’s performance upgrades include exhaust systems, engine computers, camshafts, suspension parts, brake systems, and carbon fiber body parts. Mine’s is also known for its work on the Nissan Skyline GT-R, specifically the R32, R33, R34 and R35 models. The Mine’s R34 GT-R is one of the most well-respected tuned R34s, with its “ultimate response” fully-built RB engine with twin GT2530 turbochargers. It ouputs 580hp, but focuses more on mid-range torque and throttle response rather than high horsepower. Mine’s has also developed a complete engine for the R35 GT-R with the same philosophy.
Aside from the Skyline GT-R, Mine’s also sells upgrades for other cars such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the Subaru Impreza WRX, and the Nissan Fairlady Z. The Mine’s Z is unusual because it remains naturally aspirated, unlike Z’s from other tuners.
Mine’s has also gained additional notoriety through Japanese automotive TV programs Best Motoring, Hot Version and Option, and popular video games, specifically the Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport series.
