Skyline History 101 #1

[.S K A G E E.]

Its been used since the second GTR in Nissan's line up , the KPGC110 and still being used till today; the famous GTR emblem has not changed much for the last 30 over years. However, during its initial introduction , another car manufacturer had also lanched its car with a logo quiet similar to the GTR's.Though the acronym may be a bit different but they looked remarkably similar ,even down to the color scheme. As I'm unfamiliar with the other car manufacturer , I can't tell for certain who had copy whom...

Any guesses what manufacturer and what car am I talking about??

6) Wira GTR
7) Kancil GTR
8) .... (add on)

Hi Guys, I not refering to the acronym 'GTR' as a lot of other car manufacturers do use it for their 'souped up' models. What I'm saying is the actual emblem we see on our GTRs..as I have said ;the acronym is slightly different but the color, letter placements and overall design is really similar.Ie: it doesn't say GTR but looks almost exactly like a GTR emblem.

Darkchild: Nice pics :). Is the porshce carrera GTR a flat nose version or is it a non 911?

Aw..come on guys..no takers?.. alright, maybe a little insentive ; whoever gets the right answer will get a free lesson from supremeous on how to do a no handed bunny hop!

hint #2: The car in question still exist bearing the same acronym ( with a different emblem) and could be seen on Malaysian roads in some form or rather
