Vehicle Background

The Nissan Skyline 2000 Turbo GT‑E S was one of the standout models of the sixth‑generation Skyline line up, debuting in August 1981. It combined sharp, wedge‑style 80s design with advanced mechanical features for its time:

• 2‑litre inline‑6 turbo engine producing 145 hp
• Four‑wheel independent suspension with driver‑adjustable stiffness — a world first for a mass‑production car
• Disc brakes on all four wheels
• Clean, sporty styling that made it a favourite among GT enthusiasts

This kit is an updated release of Tamiya’s original 1981 motorised model, now refreshed with new decals, packaging, and instructions.

Why Hobbyists Love This Kit

1. Classic 80s JDM Styling

Builders adore the clean wedge‑shaped body and retro proportions. It’s a perfect representation of early‑80s Japanese performance design.

2. Updated Release = Better Build Experience

The refreshed decals and instructions make this version smoother and more enjoyable to assemble than the original 1981 kit.

3. Great Canvas for Customisation

Hobbyists love experimenting with:

• Two‑tone 80s paint schemes
• Period‑correct wheels
• Subtle weathering for a “used but loved” street car look

4. Nostalgia Factor

Many modellers grew up around Skylines or admired them from afar. This kit scratches that nostalgic itch beautifully.

5. Tamiya’s Reliable Engineering

As always, Tamiya’s fit and moulding quality make the build relaxing and frustration‑free — ideal for both intermediate and advanced builders.
