Mine's R34 is legendary and still holds up performance wise with some of the fastest modern supercars. I would have liked to hear more about Niikura-san's engine building philosophy and what makes his engines so responsive.

@bluesrike Жыл бұрын

JDM Masters has a video where they also visited Mine's and they did get to talk about how they build their engines. TL;DR They build the bottom end for extremely high power levels (900+hp) but they tune the engine to produce about 500-600hp because that's the sweet spot of having enough power to make it exciting, but not so much that it's uncontrollable.

@nickval5962 Жыл бұрын

This is exactly why I love brands like HKS, Mines, TOM'S, GReddy, ARC etc... So much attention to detail in all of their products/builds and all of their stuff has a timeless style. Im more of an domestic car person myself but damn do I appreciate stuff like this
