About This Item

Product Details

Packed into the GT-R look alike body shell was Nissan's latest racing technology. Its 2568cc in-line six cylinder engine, with twin turbochargers produce an awesome 450 horsepower. The X-Trac developed sequential 6-speed gearbox efficiently transmitted this engine's awesome power to the rear wheels. The four wheel double wishbone suspension system has almost the same construction as Nissan's highly competitive Gr.C machines raced during the 1980's. The body shell was extensively modified to obtain even better aerodynamics. Additional air intakes/outlets and oversized fenders gave its massive silhouetted an even more aggressive appearance.

Great model

By: cross2unh

The model goes together pretty easy(even for a novice modeler like myself). Comes with a few options for spoilers and diffusers as well as steering wheel/dash set up. Decals aren't as hard as they look there are just a lot of them. Directions are pretty straight forward, only thing I didn't like was it tells you to paint the rims which doesn't make any sense since they already come chromed so I just left them as is.
