Mine’s Test New Z at Fuji Speedway
Well it didn’t take long from Z launch day less than 2 weeks ago to a Mine’s tuned version doing laps at Fuji Speedway. That’s exactly what was happening this week though as Mine’s had Keiichi “Drift King” Tsuchiya out testing settings in the new car during the Bridgestone Potenza Exciting Stage Event 2008 (PES2008).
Modifications on the Mine’s Z34 include a Mine’s tuned ECU, Mine’s titanium exhaust, Mine’s front pipe, Mine’s catalytic converters, oil cooler, Mine’s air filters, Ohlins Mine’s full suspension, Mine’s brake pads, Recaro seats, Takata harnesses, Mine’s LSD and Bridgestone Potenza RE11 tires.
While there were up to 30 cars on the track making it impossible to get a clear lap, Tsuchiya said the improved rigidity of the new Z really works to it’s advantage on the circuit. The standard brake pads however were not up to the track work and would need replacement.
While at PES2008 Z Car World also got a few inside details about what exactly Mine’s will be offering for the Nissan 370z in the near future, the answer is – quite a lot. Check out the list:
