The Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 is a popular car for street racing in Japan, and also featured, among others, as the vehicle of choice for Night Kids in the anime series Initial D.

The R32 uses the newly introduced RB26DETT engine, a DOHC inline-6 with 24-valves and a six-throttle inlet manifold which produces 280hp at 6800rpm. It was built to fit Japanese Group A racing specifications and in fact she continued the very successful racing heritage with several championship titles.

At the 1990 Macau Grand Prix Guia touring car race, the factory backed R32 driven by Masahiro Hasemi led the race from the start to the finishing line which caused a wave of protests by the European entrants like BMW M3 and Sierra RS Cosworth.

The R32 GT-R was introduced in 1989 and ended in 1994. Apart from the street version, four special editions were produced NISMO, N1, V-Spec and V-Spec II.

The Mazda 787B was a prototype racing car built for the 24 hours of Le Mans race. It used a 4-rotor 26B Wankel engine which produced over 700 horsepower. The most famous of the 787B cars is the #55 car, painted in an outrageous bright orange and green scheme, sporting the logos of Renown and CHARGE. In 1991, this 787B won at Le Mans. It was the first and only victory for a Japanese racer.

The Lamborghini Miura is a sports car built in 1966. The idea behind came from the Ford GT40. This specific type of car with the mid-engine placement inspired Lamborghini to build their own super car for the road. The Miura is a name taken from the ferocious Spanish fighting bulls.

An one-off Miura Jota was designed by Lamborghini Development Driver Bob Wallace in 1972. It was built in his spare time, during evenings and week-ends. However, this unique Jota doesn't exist anymore. The car caught fire and was completely destroyed.

With fully utilizing all the resources and experiences gained from various racing scenes, it was finally come to final answer of what the “Ultimate” should be. The NISMO R34GT-R Z-tune becomes the ultimate road-going car in the World.

This Choro-Q R34GT-R Z-tune comes in the Real Gimmick series (RG07, Q-shop Special 2003). The Real Gimmick Choro-Q are more sophisticated. They offers high detail for added realism. e.g. side mirrors pair, headlights and sometimes the hood can be opened to reveal the engine.

The CQ McQueen is powered with a 2-speed pull-back engine which is newly introduced by TAKARA in this month. Sally Carrera is a beautiful 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera (Type 996). I particularly like Mater. He is a 1955 Chevrolet One-Ton Wrecker Tow Truck. The CQ Mater is equipped with a slow engine which is also newly introduced. Moreover, it jolts when it is running. So cute and have fun.

The Skyline 25GT-t Choro-Q was introduced in late 1998 (HG37-4). I have it customized by adding the front lip spoiler & the side minor pair. This is my first attempt to build the side minor pair. It is challenging.

This '60 Daihatsu Midget MP4 is a 2-seat mini-truck with 3 wheels, one in the front and two in the back. It was powered by a 305cc., 12 horsepower petrol engine and could carry a 350kg load.

The safety car's main function, as its name implies, is to assist in maintaining safe track conditions. If an accident or incident occurs that is not severe enough to warrant stopping the race, but the safety car will be called on to the circuit to slow the cars down. It will come on to the circuit with its orange lights on and all drivers must form a queue behind it with no overtaking allowed. It is usually driven by an experienced circuit driver and carries an observer who is in permanent radio contact with race control.
