Tamiya No. 374 Nissan Skyline Sedan 2000 Turbo GT-E·S R30 ~ Year 1981 The Sixth Generation [第六代 Skyline]

[A Sports Sedan with Refined Performance]

The Nissan Skyline, one of Japan's iconic high-performance cars, debuted with its first model in 1957.

Among the sixth-generation models, which launched in August 1981, the 2000 Turbo GT-E·S was particularly renowned for its sporty performance.

Featuring a sleek, wedge-shaped body, it was equipped with a 2-liter, 145-horsepower, inline 6-cylinder turbocharged engine.

The suspension was fully independent, with a MacPherson strut front and semi-trailing arm rear, and both front and rear brakes were disc-type.

It also pioneered the use of "adjustable shock absorbers" in a production car, allowing the driver to change the damping firmness with a single switch.

Other cutting-edge features included an optional "drive guide system" that used the Earth's magnetic field to display the distance and direction to the destination.

Its sophisticated styling and high-performance engineering garnered significant attention, making it a highly popular high-performance GT car that prioritized driving enjoyment.
