Default The Mine's GT-R R35 has already beaten the 1 minute mark at Tsukuba

And the car is still under development

Top tier Nissan GT-R tuner Mine's has done it again. With Tetsuya Yamano behind the wheel, the Mine's tuned Nissan R35 GT-R lapped Japan's Tsukuba circuit in 59.367 seconds. According to our records this is the fastest lap time we have seen so far at the Japanese bench mark circuit with the all new Nissan GT-R.

Mine's first surprised us in December when they brought out their still stock GT-R to a Rev Speed Tsukuba track day on the day the Nissan dealers were to first receive delivery of the GT-R. Then at the Tokyo Auto Salon at the beginning of January, they announced an entire line up of parts for the all new GT-R. This was the first time attack with all of the Mine's go fast goodies fully equipped.
The Mine's GT-R has a Mine's rear wing, suspension kit, titanium exhaust pipe with catalyzer stabilizer, full brake kit with rotors, VX air filter and the Mine's VXROM computer chip that is the core of their technology. Upcoming still in development are aero parts like the mirror, hood, front canards, carbon front spoiler and side outlets. We can't imagine how fast this thing will go with all of these parts fully installed.
