    Yes!! Thanks for covering Mine's, same like you, I have huge admiration on Mine's tuning philosophy and their incredible work on the GTRs, it's the attention to the little details that counts.
    Out of so many V-Opt and BM videos that featured the Mine's R34, my favorite has to be the inline 6 shootout between Mine's R34 and Amuse A80 Supra. The incredible power that Mine's R34 puts out scarring the shit out of Keiichi Tsuchiya was the highlight!
    Interview with the legend himself, Niikura-san was awesome, thanks for the translation! The amount of RBs that's waiting for Nakayama-san to build is absolutely insane!
    Can't wait to check out the BBL R33! Their R32 build is the definition of perfection so I expect no less on their R33. Superb coverage as always Dino, really enjoyed this episode! 👍👍

    Awesome video! I am from Australia but now living in Japan. What Australia has done with the RB series is phenomenal. Australia was lucky to be one of the only markets to have the SOHC RB30 since 1986. I believe the RB30 is one of the most perfect 6 cylinder engines ever made. Simple and exceedingly strong. Especially when paired with strong internals and a modern ECU. I love the MINE'S approach to GTR building. It reminds me of the approach many Porsche purists have to improve their vehicles but still retain what they were designed to be.

    Ah my favourite for the bucket list. There is a good vid of Nakasan showing how he over sizes slightly the throttle bodies for that response, countersunk screw heads for the brass baffles of the butterflies for better flow. Almost nobody can appreciate that part of it. Here in Australia they are all gluttons for massive power and dyno sheets. One big long p1ssing comp. Love mines for their different perspective. Cheers. Great interesting video.

    Impressive to see how much has changed in front and back of the Mine's building. Last time I saw it they had semi built engines all over the place, happy to see that they now got a corner for all the short blocks waiting in line.
    Mines to me not only is RB26 heaven, but RB heaven from 3.2 to 2.0. Since many parts are (almost) swap-able one from one RB to another. But of course what makes them special is not only the parts, but the development they put into everything they did and still do. If the build a part from scratch, it has a reason, if they buy a part and use it (Iike the HKS pistons) it's for a reason - and even if they leave a part stock, you better believe it's for a reason. They have todays reputation for exactly that reason.
    Thank you for the video and the small view back into the Mines shop! 😀👍

    Looking at their prices for years, Mine's engine packages have always struck me as kind of a bargain amongst those available from major tuning shops. Surprisingly reasonable prices, especially considering how well respected they are. I don't think they're still producing many of their own parts though; they used to do a lot of carbon + aramid aero stuff, and some kind of really high lift, short duration RB camshaft years ago.

    • @dino_dc

    is 5-600 really the sweet spot for RB's in general for horsepower numbers, when built with precision and detail? I've always kinda thought of aiming for around 300-350, but maybe building the motor to be capable of about 50hp more for reliability; but if any RB is going to be itching for more power, I might reconsider an RB for a daily driver....

    • @dino_dc
      @dino_dc  Год назад +1

      I think that's down to most tuner but for the most part 600 has been the popular number to hit here in Japan.

    • @Nightmaretyrant
      @Nightmaretyrant Год назад

      500-700 no issue in Australia, thats pretty standard power from RB26 production block, some can take over 1000 if its healthy. But 400s a good safe number.
      N1 and RB30s can take well above 1000+. N1 as recently found out in Aus is heavily reinforced over the stock block.
      Rb20 is also really plucky for a rwd gts build 400hp all day easy.
