Tamiya 24258 - 1/24 Scale Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II Detailed Build Kit  [24258]

1/24 scale Nissan R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II by Tamiya

The R34 Skyline GT-R V-Spec II remains a benchmark for late 90s performance cars. Tamiya's 1/24 kit brings that era to the workbench, reproducing the car's proportions and key styling cues for accurate scale modelling.

Performance background and factory changes

Introduced in 1999, the R34 continued the GT-Rs high-performance lineage with a 2.6-litre twin-turbo inline-six and a capable all-wheel-drive system. The V-Spec II, launched in October 2000, added features like larger rear brakes and a carbon fibre bonnet with a NACA duct to improve cooling and braking performance.

Kit composition and modelling experience

Expect precise moulding and thoughtfully engineered parts. The suspension layout is well represented, and clear parts are supplied for glazing and lights. Solid rubber tyres with realistic tread and a right-hand drive interior help the model reflect the authentic road car.
