| About the Real Car | |||||||||||||||||||
| The Skyline GT-R has been know as the best performance vehicle of Japan since the name "GT-R" was resurrected in 1989. Twin turbo, variable torque all wheel drive and all wheel steering are some of the features that makes the GT-R special, and they were passed on to the R33 and the R34. As far as I know, the car is only available in Japan and UK, but rumor says that it is expected to be available for the first time in North America through the Infinity dealers. | |||||||||||||||||||
| About the Kit | |||||||||||||||||||
| The kit is a typical Tamiya curbside model, so it has no engine, but the
engine parts in their R32 Skyline GT-R kit can be used to make a detailed R34 model. The front suspension is composed of nine pieces, while the complicated rear suspension is represented by ten parts. The front and rear under panels are represented by clear parts. The wheels are satin plated, but the real wheels look much darker, so they have to be painted. The tires are accurate Bridgestone Potenza RE040 245/40ZR18, designed exclusively for the GT-R. |
