Whats your favourite Skyline GTR

I had a look and didnt notice any previous threads about this.

Since we seem to love our Nissan GTR's here, im interested to see which one is your favourite out of the R32,R33,R34.

For me the pick would have to be the R32, this is probably the most agressive lines out of all of them plus this car also conjures up visons of insane Jap guys screamin around the mountain roads of tokyo.

I still remember one early morning around 2am i was driving in the Sydney Harbour Tunnel before they installed speed cameras, a heavily worked R32 was screaming down the right lane seeing this thing approach my rear view mirror was amazing, he would have been doin 200+ easy, the sound was unreal. This became a phenomena call the 200 club after that the police installed 24hr speed camera's.

Well, out of those generations, my favorite is probably the R32 but that's far from my favorite GT-R.

My favorite GT-R Skyline by far and away is the KPCG110 GT-R Skyline, also known as the "Ken & Mary" Skyline. They only built a hundred-odd examples of the GT-R in this generation, but its aggresive lines and bold fender flares, coupled with the ungodly awesome S20 straight-six made it one mean little car.



Thanks to Tonioseven, I'm building one as we speak from the full-detail Fujimi kit. I'm trying to go all-out with it, too.

Re: Whats your favourite Skyline GTR

R32 for me, cause I believe that it is the most balanced out of the three.

R32 because it has the nicest lines of the modern GTR's.Any of the late 60's early 70's models.

Re: Whats your favourite Skyline GTR

R32's or R34's for me, The interior of the R32 is so dated.

The R-34 IMO is by far the best.

Re: Whats your favourite Skyline GTR

R34 is my fav. It just looks like raw power. Plus its full of techno junk. Also a nice low-ish R32 is ok. Never cared much for the R33...
