Hi BudakLembuAngkasa(Spacecowboy)
The picture you posted is actually a KHGC210. One of the first turbocharged Skylines though other variation of the L series engines are available. This car was also imported officially here in Malaysia as you could still see quiet a few four door examples on the road. However the name Skyline was dropped when in arrived here and was simply called the K series..ie 180K..240K etc
As mentioned by Darkchild;The KPGC110 only ran a limited amount of 197 units and I was told that less than 190 were actually road registered. Definately making this car extremely rare. However the KGC110 model did sell well and and makes up the bulk of the C110 series in the market now.
Darkchild: I believe the nickname Godzilla was actually coined by the Austrialian media after the GTR's dominace in the famous Bathrus race.
Sakuraguy: Though I don't agree, I wouldn't be suprise if the don't use the "skyline name plate " and produce them as two separate models as we could already see that in Toyota with its Celica and Supra ( where once they were produced as a Celica Supra)
Farique: Hi, nice picture of the concept GTR. I'm afraid its offical that Nissan won't be producing them in that guise. It was actually a clever marketing ploy by Renault/Nissan to 1) Distract the die hard fan attention of the discontinuing of the RB26 engine( more on this later) 2) To keep the public interested as they won't be producing a GTR till the next generation V36 ( even that isn't confirm)
