Interview With Mine’s Niikura Michizo: Gt-r Super Tuner
Saturday, December 12th, 2009“The name: E ‘plural of me. I thought’ Mine” is better than to answer, “Niikura.” I designed the logo. I like simple and cool designs. I like simple cool designs, so my car is not always dressed up. You may or may not know the name Niikura Michizo, but certainly knows the name of Mino. Born in 1952 in Hayama, Japan, Michizo is the man responsible for the Japanese tuning house that has some of the GT-R faster than the world. Niikura-san long love GT-R began his youth when his father gave him a hand-me-down Skyline-Nice daddy, huh? His first “new” car was a Celica GT-S. While in school a great interest in motorcycles and cars has received. E ‘Isho College, which has further developed into a visionary engineer and tuner. Almost immediately after graduation Michizo Bridgestone was and remained there for 12 years, moonlighting the last few years to boot mine. Instead of blowing the money on interest and women, as he invested his earnings at Bridgestone to buy the necessary equipment to ensure that its business would be much of a lift and a compressor. ”The name: E ‘plural of me.

Having established Bridgestone mine. Which approach are you going? Simple is best. A stand-balanced car that remains, and can turn quickly. Another thing I like doing things that my competitors and can not do. I like things fast. I like to build [my products and machinery] quickly and on time. I hate to be slower than anyone else. Tuning has no rules, such as motor-sport, but adorned my thing is to be faster than the cars that are full like racing cars. The parties which are to be developed for my clients, but also the function and good for the car. I will hold my hand tuning realistically attainable for consumers. It is easy to build a large displacement engine, but how many people do this? What it takes to keep it simple. I learned a lot during my younger years. I was involved with motorsport and has worked with them when I was younger. I wanted to learn the whole experience was a learning process. The team has to win. I wanted to absorb what my disposal of motor racing. And I did what I experienced in this experience in my development and products. From the beginning of the R34 I R32 prety much went to every race of the series Super Taikyu. You must be familiar with the series, but also the development of courses and products. Like the R & D to develop your products? To develop my part, I would actually go out and test my products. I do a lot of private tenstive on the test track. Testing, R & D, do not go at full throttle for a race distance. That is not what is on R & D effort What I’ve needed it, not the speed or the speed or time. It is actually handling, or the joy of driving. It’s about the feeling of comfort during the journey to do what the driver feels. You feel good, I am encouraged about the vehicle. This is much more than just speed or power. Tell us the GT-R heritage, and why you continually skyline. Time is still a very good car and knew the melody. And that’s what I was dressed. I was attracted by the potential of the GT-R, and because it was difficult to adjust. For the United States, I’m really excited about the parts for the Z-version and the new 2008 Nissan GT-R. I want to open a store in Los Angeles and I have U.S. headquarters. Next year. What are your thoughts on the new VQ38 compared to older RB26? They are completely different engines, of course, but both machines GT-R. They are great engines. Although the new engine is not a RB, I can tune it. I’m not worried. How characterisics the machine, I do not think it’s the kind of car they want to maximize their power. The function of the new GT-R will increase the engine’s performance, but increase in total factor productivity of the car a little “more. With the VQ a development of the technology with a block of aluminum, compact V-engine. I not worry about the engine, because it was developed by one of the best engineers from Nissan. I am sure that a good engine is started. And what about the old GT-R against the new? In Japan, a lot of people say that the R33 is not just a successor to the first generation of the GT-R is not an improvement, is not the R34 and R33. Neither is the R35 to R34. All have their own Characterisitics. Some good and bad. Some people, like, etc. R32 better so four of them, all different characters possible. What is your design philosophy and how this factor in the search for the new GT-R? I think the entire concept and character deisgn is similar to the R32 and R33. The R34 is looking for a sports car. And this is your first impression. The R32 and R33 GT-R and a new design is more or less grows on you. The GT-R and Ferrari are two different cars. The GT-R fans would not accept the GT-R like Ferrari and neither are the designers trying to imitate Ferrari think, contrary to what some might. The debut of the R32 is very similar to the current vehicle position. But even today, the Skyline R32 is the most popular of all time. Anyone who sees the purchase of the new GT-R and what the competitors are not in Japan and Europe? I do not think at this point, there are competitors for the GT-R in Japan. If it is not limited to Japanese cars, it would be Porsche and BMW. I believe that the buyer would probably increase a little “in terms of age, higher than before. Moving on a slightly different topic, have you been in almost every version of Sony’sGran tourism. Mine is in the next GT? 350Z and GT-R is the new Gran Turismo. When I consider the new GT-R, I assume that is in play, too. I am interested in the game forwader commit again. I work closely with Yamauchi-san, I know him very well and ensure my wish that the vehicles should be in the game. The study of the production of the game is very intense, very accurate. You use a lot of laser scanning equipment to scan the entire machine. I carry the sound of the machine and all the other parameters. When should we expect the next mine Nissan GT-R? And what color is it? I hope to publish the new GT-R later this year. It is white, of course. Get the whole story with dinghy and car racing movies Niikura Michizo interview.
Affordable Performance the all new Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25-T……
Saturday, December 12th, 2009In 1993, all new Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25-T replaced the successful R32 GTS-T. little brother, is to conquer all GTR GTS25-T to cheaper and still an exciting ride. It has a more modern with smooth lines, rather than the edges of the previous model. The new Looks like some of the dubious style of the current R33 and some preferred the harder edges of the R32. On the road with the R33 is the first thing you notice min redline as the engine R25DET smooth power delivery line and the car pulls to 3000rpm hard drive 7000 rpm. The manual version will work in 6 Coupe 0-100 18 seconds and fill out the quarter, in 14 4. Maximum power is 187kW at 6400 and a peak torque 295nm to 4800th The RB25DET is a ripper and the technology before its time. The 2nd 5-liter intercooled turbo straight 6 has a head DOHC variable valve timing on the intake side. Handling of the coupe is great to feel with a good balance between comfort and sport such. The rear of the car driven by a system has been HICAS that works by calculating the speed and angle of the car in the corners. This feature seems to minimize understeer and the car stopped by the curve flat. The back of the car is with a viscous LSD and still equipped so slowly when pushing hard. This makes the car easy to control, but if too much pressure would have made it easy to lose the rear. The Skyline is a mid-size coupe weighs 1360kg and cornering a large disk, but not quite as directly or crunch, though it was the corners like the R32 easily. Suspension modifications, but the light is essential to improve the administration. In Australia, a number of good 1 GTS25-T for about $ 17,000 and a number 2 for about 20,000 can be taken into account. With standard features like power windows and air conditioning I think it is good value for money. With slight modifications to the engine and chassis, the car can be converted into a weapon street. For more information, I recommend that you visit.

Nissan Skyline R33
Saturday, July 11th, 2009The R33 Nissan Skyline was introduced in August 1993. Slightly heavier than the R32, it is available in coupe and sedan bodystyles. All models now used a 6-cylinder engine. Nissan took the unusual step of down-grading the GTS model to have only the RB20E, while the twin-cam of the R32 GTS was discontinued along with the 2.0 L turbo RB20DET.
Some models came equipped with a new version of the HICAS 4-wheel steering system called Super HICAS. This computer controlled system was first used on the R32 GTR. Super HICAS used electric actuators to steer the rear, as opposed to the hydraulic HICAS.
As an option, an active limited slip differential was available instead of the standard viscous LSD. This new unit locked the rear differential if it detected that traction was lost by one of the wheels. A light on the dash also lit up if the LSD engaged. Active LSD came standard on all V-spec R33 GT-R Skylines and was also available on some ECR33 GTS25t models; these can be identified by the A-LSD and SLIP lights on the tachometer.
The RB25DE and RB25DET engines also became equipped with NVCS (variable inlet cam phasing). NVCS equipped RBs have a bulge on the front of the cam cover. To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Nissan introduced a very rare 4 door GT-R. Two versions of the 4-door GT-R were available from Nissan’s subsidiaries: the first was produced by Autech, and the second was a joint Autech/Nismo project.
A R33 based wagon was released in September 1996, called the Nissan Stagea. It had a different body style than the R33 and R34 and (with the exception of the RS FOUR & Autech variants) was only available with an automatic transmission. A common modification on the Stagea is to fit it with an R34 skyline front, in effect making a 4 door R34 wagon. The Stagea is the only all wheel drive manual transmission Nissan on the R33 platform with the RB25DET engine. Presumably, a 5 speed AWD Skyline equipped with an RB25DET would have been too close in performance to the much more expensive GT-R. There was also an Autech Stagea, the 260RS released with full GT-R running gear, the RB26DETT engine, body kit, 17″ BBS style alloys, GT-R instrumentation, and manual transmission.
R33 Skyline models:
HR33 GTS - 2.0 L RB20E SOHC I6, 130 PS (96 kW, 172 N m)
ER33 GTS25 - 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m)
ENR33 GTS-4 - 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC I6, 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m) AWD
ECR33 GTS25T - 2.5 L RB25DET DOHC turbo I6, 250 PS (184 kW, 294 N m)
1996 Nissan Skyline
The R33 Skyline (Series 2) continued the concepts introduced in the R32. Driver and Passenger airbags became standard in 1996. As a result, pre-1996 models are barred from being imported into various countries for consumer road use as they do not meet the frontal impact standards. For the RB25DET engine the ignition system was also changed, with the ignition module no longer located on the cam covers and was instead replaced by smart ignition coils (Ignitor built into coil) and ECU. The RB25DET turbo was also given a nylon compressor wheel. Throughout the time the R33 was produced there were quite a number of different styled lights and bodykits fitted, the actual body/chassis underwent no changes. Among the cosmetic changes in the series 2 were, the headlights which tapered down more towards the grill and were fitted with improved reflectors, the grill (which was longer on the Series 1), the bonnet which had a re-shaped leading edge to fit the new lights and front bumper changing shape in the smallest amount to match the lower edge of the new headlights. Later models of the Series 2 also had the option of having an Active-LSD fitted. The R33 ceased production in March 1998 with the 40th Anniversary R33 Series 2…
Nissan Skyline GT-R Edition
The BCNR33 GT-R version also had the same RB26DETT engine that the BNR32 was equipped with, although torque had been improved, due to changes in the turbo compressor aerodynamics, turbo dump pipe, and intercooler. The turbo core changed from a sleeve bearing to a ball bearing, but the turbine itself remained ceramic, except on N1 turbos (steel turbine, sleeve bearing). From the R33 onward, all GT-Rs received Brembo brakes. In 1995 the GT-R received an improved version of the RB26DETT, the ATTESA-ETS all wheel drive system, and Super HICAS all-wheel steering.
A limited edition model was created in 1996, called the NISMO 400R, that produced 400 hp (298 kW) from a road-tuned version of Nissan’s Le Mans engine. A stronger six speed Getrag gearbox was used.
An R33 GT-R driven by Dirk Schoysman lapped the Nordschleife in less than 8 minutes. Though it was often said to be the first production car to break 8 minutes, the limited run Jaguar XJ220 had already achieved a 7′46″ lap. Other manufacturers had caught up since the R32 was released, and the R33 never dominated motorsport to the extent of the R32.
