Classic GT-R Track Replica

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 reproduces the Team Impul entry from the 2001 All-Japan GT Championship, a car campaigned by Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoshi Motoyama. The kit focuses on presenting a true-to-era race machine in a buildable format.

Scale Styling and Weight-Savvy Detail

This 1/10 scale body mirrors the aggressive aero of the road car, including the low front spoiler, wide blister fenders and large rear wing. The detailed shape aims to look correct while keeping unnecessary weight low for better handling on corners.

Race-Oriented TA04-S Underpinnings

The TA04-S chassis provides a durable 2-belt mid-ship full-time 4WD transmission and a reinforced double-deck resin frame for precise setup changes. The package allows for custom electronics and gearing choices since motor, battery and radio are not included.

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 makes a solid platform for those who enjoy fine tuning and accurate race liveries. It is equally suitable as a carefully finished display model or a competitive club racer once equipped.

You will need a 540-size motor, a compatible ESC, a radio system and a battery pack sized to the chassis. Pick components to suit whether you want top speed or more torque for tight tracks.
Start with neutral camber and small toe adjustments, then tune progressively. Small changes to camber and toe can noticeably affect turn-in and tyre wear.
Yes, the TA04-S is adaptable. Use appropriate tyres and suspension damping for carpet, asphalt or smooth concrete to get the best handling.
Aftermarket and factory options such as aluminium components and different dampers are available to refine stiffness and response for serious tuning.
Use polycarbonate spray paints made for lexan bodies. Apply thin coats and allow proper drying between layers to avoid runs and maintain crisp livery details.
