I'm really interested in this, do they provide you with any before and after figures? Any ideas what kind of increases you've seen?

Glad you like it, I told you the map would be good

Mine's don't really do before and after figures, and Nakayama-san isn't a fan of dynos. When I've asked in the past they're just confused why people care. I asked when I collected my own R34, and they just said "over 600".

They estimate 40-50PS with the VX-ROM and Titan II. They're more interested in improving the drivability and response than squeezing every last drop of power.

Rain - For the R35 Titan II you have a choice of anodized and non-anodized.

I have to add one comment to Kanzen's - when I picked up my car, Nakayama-san - yes, not a fan of dynos - told me to expect around 480ps for the power, and 50kgm for torque.

After getting the car dyno'd - both figures are conservative. (more like 60kgm for torque, and above 500 ps).

I'm trying to say that their guesses are conservative and probably lower than the actual figures!!

So, wouldn't be surprised if the figures were closer to 60-70ps.

i have to say from the seat of my pants feel, it's more than the 50ps they mentioned. it's just got simply staggering mid range power now. whatever they did, they mainly affected the drivability vs the top end, just as kanzen said.

it's a much much nicer car to drive now.

Everything you guys said above are the reasons as why i "love" Mine´s, their parts, but mostly, they philosophy.

Just curious about the reliability with these mods and how do they affect it in long term.

Does mines publish any quantitative numbers for performance improvement with their mods?

Mine's are a top class unit. They stake their reputation on the quality of their products and totally rely on word of mouth.

Let me put it this way, scour all the forums you possibly can and try to find even one complaint about a product from mine's (other than the exhaust does not sound very loud ).

I tried, believe me

About the sound of the exhaust, even that is a advantage for me and i appreciate that on Mines to. I also believe most people don´t like this kind of exhaust because of that reason, but for me is perfect that way.

After get used to some of the loudest exhausts in my S2000 like Spoon N1, J´s Racing 70RR and tried the Amuse R1000 (probably the loudest exhaust i ever listen), i guess in my future! GTR i definitely go for some more quiet and Mines seems to be the perfect solution...quiet, beautiful, top quality and very nice gains.

i've found it hard to find any adverse comments about Mines products or service and this certainly backs up comments i've read from others on this forum - will be interesting to see UK pricing for this gear.

Off to Mine's again this morning to fit the new super catalyzer. Think kanzen will have his vid camera handy so we can get some proper sounds. Swissfrank coming along so hopefully can compare car performance.

While at Mine's i'm going to ask about the springs and also the pagid brake pads. My brake pedal has gone squishy so i think it's already time to change my brake fluid. Probably because i cooked the brakes at fuji a few weeks ago.

I'll probably take the car to the HPC for the complimentary sports pack service, then just swap the pads over for the pagids.

please take pictures of the brakes if you could! would like to see them next to the box if possible

better brake fluid will help, plus brake ducts! CBA-R35: Modified R35 (this is just one example).

well didn't get the brakes changed but did get the CAT fitted... **** me!!! very noticable difference. i believe kanzen has some pics which he might post here too. swissfrank came along too and there was also silver and black gt-r's getting stuff done to them there. here's the video footage taken from swissfrank's car which shows my car at the end accelerate away... and enjoy the pics too... i'm sure you'll all be drooling... btw, on the vid watch out for the white gt-r coming the other way just as i go past... and you can here my car suddenly come off the gas too.
