The Mine's BNR34 SKYLINE GT-R N1 V • spec base '00 is a tuned car produced by Mine's. It first appeared in Gran Turismo 2 and has been featured in all subsequent mainline games up to Gran Turismo 6.
Description[]
Mine's reputation as one of Japan's premier aftermarket tuners was cemented with its rendition of the 1989 Skyline GT-R or R32. Since then the GT-R has represented the company's flagship products, and what was arguably the most potent example of all of its GT-R tweaks was its version of the R34.
As was the custom of Mine's, the car's on-road drivability was a priority, so every effort was made to make the car as comfortable as possible. The interior was left intact without the installation of a roll cage. The car kept its power windows and other such amenities.
Bolted onto the RB26DETT powerplant were a couple of HKS GT253 turbochargers. These turbos, along with other tweaks, accounted for 592 HP. The power delivery was tuned to be linear, therefore, you didn't get torque coming on like an on/off switch as was the case with the other turbocharged engines.
The Mine's R34's suspension system featured the company's Esta suspension package that used Dynamic shock absorbers. The components were tuned to maximize the all-wheel-drive car's road gripping potential. The car stopped well, too, thanks to upgraded brakes that featured AP racing discs and calipers. A subtle body kit improved downforce at high speed, making the R34 one of the most stable cars at around 186 mph.
