Mine's is atuning firm based inYokosuka,Kanagawa Prefecture,Japan.
Mine's was started by Tsuzo Niikura in 1985. It attracted attention in 1988 by being among the first Japanese companies to sell re-programmedECU systems for popular Japanese sports cars. Today it sells many products, ranging from injectors to complete engines.
Mine's currently makes software upgrades for hundreds of Japanese cars, but only makes hardware upgrades for a few select cars. Its performance upgrades include exhaust systems, engine computers, camshafts, suspension parts, brake systems, and carbon fiber body parts. Mine's is also known for its work on theNissan Skyline GT-R, specifically the R32, R33, R34 models, as well with theNissan GT-R R35.
