Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R33 Plastic Model Kit (24145)

Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec R33 – Plastic Model Kit (24145)

Build the legendary R33 Skyline GT-R V-Spec in 1/24 scale. Unveiled at the January 1995 Tokyo Motor Show, the R33 GT-R carried over the iconic 2.6-litre RB26DETT inline-6 twin-turbo engine with improvements to computer control, turbo compression, and airflow efficiency. The V-Spec variant added an active limited-slip differential and the ATTESA E-TS PRO all-wheel drive system. Its aggressive two-door coupe form — with bulging fenders, a large front bumper air intake, and an inverted trapezoid rear wing — was developed and tested on the Nürburgring, going on to dominate Japanese domestic GT racing and top-level endurance events.
