2002 NISMO Skyline GT-R JGTC

The GT-R version of the tenth-generation Skyline (R34) was launched in January 1999. As with the R32 and R33, it performed well on the circuit, and in the 2002 Japan GT Championships it provided much excitement for its fans. This vehicle is the replica used by NISMO in the pre-season press conference; the coloring is the same as that applied to the #23 Castrol Pitwork GT-R (Masami Kageyama/E. Comas).
