An exciting new magazine has been secretly photographing and testing with Japan’s top tuners lately right under our noses. Mistaken for Option Magazine photo shoots earlier in the month I have been digging up what I can find bit by bit.

The good news is it’s a completely new magazine, so we haven’t missed something obvious. Called “R35 GT-R: Tune+Ing” the inaugural issue is due to hit book stores in Japan around the 26th of August.

In this first issue we should get to find out the results of the shootout between Mine’s, MCR, Midori Seibi, HKS Technical Factory, Zele International and Power House Amuse. Yes – it’s huge!

GTRBlog.com has a sneak preview of some of the scenes behind the upcoming magazine as we tag along with Zele International to the photo shoots (well in spirit anyway!). Click through the jump for the photos!

First up Zele fit up some Mine’s Sachs Suspension to their GT-R. They know what’s coming up and they don’t want to be disadvantaged by the standard suspension versus rival tuners.

Next they hit up Hakone a few times in the early morning to check the suspension settings…

Then back to the workshop to fine tune…

Out at night for a cruise out of Tokyo to work out all the bugs…

Finally the day of the R35 GT-R: Tune+ing magazine photoshoot out at an undisclosed airfield…

Stay tuned for more details on the R35 Tune+Ing magazine as they come in!
