As an Out-an'-out racer I agree,I'm besotted by the Mines beasties.
Credit where it's due tho. The longevity/drivability thing is very good with the GTArt boys. A year or two ago they drove 3 of their gtr's from UK to the N'burgring, had a full days racing & drove back. No probs (bar tyres),I imagine even the normally bomproof RB26DETT gets a little 'brittle' tuned above 5-600bhp.

That was not GTart it was Shin from Pro Spec in his black R34 gtr that Dirk drove around the ring with a few of his customers if its the same as the one that I think you are on about,

Just thought I'd post another vid for any fans of that Mine's BNR34 that I managed to dig up.

Puts its performance into perspective somewhat and is still competitive with full-on race cars which I find astounding.

(Search has been playing up for me so I couldn't find the other topic where this car was mentioned)

Yep, the Pro-spec car has a complete Mines engine.

It's currently for sale as well, £42k which is a bargain really given the mods it has.

Do you surf the GT-R register Neil? Via some googling this site appears to provide much of the information surrounding these cars. Still can't find any info relating to the spec of the engines re: Mine's. Would the engine from that V-spec Nur that they had be identical to the engine in that white BNR34 demonstator?

Yep I pop onto there every now and again.

I think the engines are the same, or at least very similar.

Best thing to do is ask on gtr.co.uk - Shin is a member on there and would answer any questions you have about it

I can't see the original video, google keeps saying it can't be shown.
Is there any other way to see it? what was the search criteria?

Thankyou very much Neil, I've developed a bit of an interest in GT-Rs for a while now especially with regards to their capability.

With a bit more reading it turns out that the black Nismo car that Dirk drives is neither a V-Spec II, nor is it a Nur. Naughty Shin for putting those badges on there!

For a while, I thought those cars possessed the Nismo Z-tune engine (not sure of the internal designation code) but it seems they have the Mine's stage 2 engine. All very confusing! Does seem like a fantastic car anyway though.

Again, thanks for the input. Appreciate it.

Keith,

The clip appears to have disappeared off google video. I searched for 'best motoring' originally but it may be available under other search criteria. I'll have a look.

Is it this video?

Really not sure which vid I posted now but pretty sure it wasn't that one. I think it was a black HKS GT-R of some description. The 'driving performer' or some such.

[stew-typeR]

you're talking about the HKS street performer. with the HKS V cam system installed.
very fast car indeed. not as quick though as the Mine's GTR.

i think Shin can get away with nismo stickers on his car seeing as who he is n all...
