Performance parts by Mine’s

A mere 3 weeks since the all new 2009 GT-R was delivered to dealerships in Japan, the top premier Nissan tuner, MINE’S has already come out with a line up of performance aftermarket parts for the GT-R. Some how the math doesn’t add up how in the hell they pulled it off so fast but lets just imagine that Mine’s prez Niikura-san made his employees work day and night without sleep to get these products developed quicker than anyone else in the world. This also means that by the time the GT-R hits the streets States side, Mine’s will already have parts available for anyone who wants to go faster than the other guy in line.

This is a GTChannel exclusive as these photos are not even on the official Mine’s website, mines-wave.com.

In this photo you can get a sneak peak of their suspension system which is currently in development. Mine’s Niikura-san has also stated they will release the VX-ROM (tuned ECU) and the VX-Air filter.

Prices of these kits are still not disclosed. Hopefully we will get them too you soon.

The beans keep on spilling.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — The wait is over. Undisguised 2009 Nissan GT-R photos have now become available prior to the car’s official debut at the 2007 Tokyo Auto Show.

Numerous GT-R prototypes have been caught testing around the world, including at Germany’s Nürburgring and California’s Laguna Seca Raceway, but this is the first look at the rocket coupe’s completely undisguised sheet metal.

Most of the specifications aren’t expected to be announced until Nissan’s Tokyo show press conference on October 24, but today we know that the all-wheel-drive 2009 GT-R will get a 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 that produces 473 horsepower and 434 pound-feet of torque. It’ll drive all four wheels through a rear-mounted transaxle. The only transmission will be a GR6 dual-clutch six-speed automatic. And of course there will be paddle shifters for your enjoyment — the same leather-wrapped aluminum paddle shifters as Nissan uses in the G35 sedan.

Nissan says the GT-R will accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, finish the quarter-mile in 11.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 192 mph. Base price is expected to be less than $80,000.

If true, the GT-R will be serious competition for the Porsche 911 Turbo, which it has been routinely seen testing alongside.
