Track-Inspired Model of a GT Classic

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 faithfully represents the Team Impul entry from the 2001 All-Japan GT Championship, the same era driven by Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoshi Motoyama. This kit balances display-ready detail with practical assembly for hobby use.

True-To-Life Shell and Aerodynamics

The 1/10 scale body reproduces the car's race geometry, including a low front spoiler, bulging fenders and a prominent rear spoiler. These styling cues keep the model authentic while helping to limit unnecessary mass for improved handling on the circuit.

Tuning-Focused TA04-S Mechanics

Powered by a TA04-S chassis, the kit uses a 2-belt mid-ship full-time 4WD transmission and a robust double-deck resin frame that supports precise adjustments. Motor, battery and transmitter are not included so builders can select components that match their performance goals.

Collectors and racers alike will find the Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 a rewarding project, offering realistic livery and a chassis that adapts to setup changes for both display and track use.

With the right electronics and setup, the TA04-S chassis can be tuned for club-level touring events. Check class rules for permitted modifications before racing.
Basic modelling tools, a small screwdriver set, hobby knife and fine sandpaper are essential. For best results use masking tape and a lexan-friendly paint for the body.
Try relocating the battery and electronics within the chassis mounting points to alter balance. Small ballast moves and gear choice also affect front to rear weight bias.
Official spares can be ordered through authorised Tamiya dealers and parts distributors, ensuring correct fit and finish for repairs.
