Description
From 1969 through to the early 1970s, the Skyline GT-R achieved an unbelievable streak of fifty victories in a row in the Japanese Touring Car Race. Sixteen years later, its name was passed on to the R32 type, (developed as a base machine for Group-A races). With a powerful 2.6l, 6-cylinder twin turbo engine, it was equipped with a 4WD system, which provided unrivaled race performance. 1995 saw the larger body and refined mechanics of the R33. In 1999, new technology was unsparingly poured into the new R34 type, with ultimate driving pleasure in mind during development. The R34 features a smaller body and a sturdier structure, with much consideration given to its aerodynamics. The adjustable two-level rear spoiler as well as a front and rear diffuser (V-spec) regulate the flow of air under the chassis, heightening control. The R34’s impressive speed is attributed to a modification in valve timing and turbo-charging of the GETRAG 6-speed transmission controlled engine. Further refinements have been adopted such as an electronically controlled front/rear power distribution 4WD system and a multi-link suspension. Undergoing extensive testing in Japan, its driving performance was further improved in Germany, on the Nurburgring. All changes featured in the Skyline V.spec R34 model have been accurately reproduced. Internal equipment, which has been designed for ease of assembly, has been replicated down to the finest detail. The front grill has been reproduced with nylon mesh. Multi-link suspension and 4WD system has also been precisely recreated. Front and rear diffuser comes as transparent parts.
