Mine's president Niikura-san explains to Capt Bradford about how they got into ECU tuning in the 80's and why it continues to be an important part of their car tuning philosophy. Mine's is most famous for it's work on the Nissan Skyline GT-R, specifically the R32, R33, R34 models, as well with the Nissan GT-R R35.
Mine's also sells upgrades for other cars such as the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the Subaru Impreza WRX, the Nissan Pulsar GTi-R, and the Nissan Fairlady Z.
Mine's has also gained additional popularity through video games, such as the Gran Turismo series, Best Motoring Intl. and Hot Version Intl. video where Keiichi Tsuchiya and the cast rave their builds.
