    “Skyline GT-R” has a full carbon body! The powerful wide body custom CG is amazing! How much will it cost?

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Skyline GT-R”” is converted to a full carbon fiber body! The custom CG of the powerful wide body is amazing! How much does it cost to realize it?

    How much will it cost… full carbon body Skyline GT-R
    　Nissan’s legendary sports car, the Skyline GT-R (BNR34 model) (“”GT-R””). Due to its popularity, it is traded not only in Japan but also worldwide, and it is not unusual for it to be sold for far more than the price of a new car.

    “”Skyline GT-R”” with a powerful carbon body! See the tremendous renderings .

    　Arnold Verghese, an Australian automotive CG artist, has released a custom rendering (CG) of the legendary Skyline GT-R with a full carbon body and wide body.

    　The 10th generation (R34) “”Skyline,”” on which the Skyline GT-R is based, was introduced in May 1998, and the GT-R was added about eight months later, in January 1999.

    　The body size was reduced from that of its predecessor, the R33, to achieve excellent footwork and athletic performance. At the time of its launch, in addition to the standard model, a “”V-spec”” version was available, a version with a more racy exterior and sporty performance.

    　The body size is 4600 mm (L) x 1785 mm (W) x 1360 mm (H) with a wheelbase of 2665 mm and a vehicle weight of 1560 kg (V-Spec II, introduced in 2000).

    　The powertrain is a 2.6-liter twin-turbo inline 6-cylinder engine (RB26DETT type) with maximum output of 280 hp and maximum torque of 40.0 kgf/m, which is the same as the R32 and R33.

    　As of 2022, the Skyline GT-R, which boasts global popularity, is sold on the used car market at prices far exceeding the price of a new car, and in May 2022, a 1999 V-spec was sold for 140,000 pounds (approximately 22.6 million yen) on Collecting Cars in the UK. A 1999 V-spec sold for 140,000 pounds (about 22.6 million yen) on Collecting Cars in the U.K., and a new, unregistered V-spec II Nur fetched 60,501,000 yen at an Internet auction in Japan in 2021.

    　This time, Arnold Verghese has boldly revealed a rendering of the Skyline GT-R with a full carbon fiber wide-body specification.

    　All exterior body panels have been replaced with carbon body panels, leaving the car in its original state. The protruding front and rear fenders, huge wings, and small, simplified side mirrors give the impression of a “”racing car.

    　The car has been described on social networking sites as “”like a raspberry”” and “”unbeatable on the race track.

    Arnold Verghese

    　Arnold Verghese has created customized renderings of sports cars such as the Toyota GR Supra and Chevrolet Corvette and posted them on his SNS.

    　The rendering created by Arnold Verghese is, of course, unrealistic, but there are several examples of full carbon body modifications, including the GT-R R35 with a full carbon body. The cost of this modification is said to be as high as 8.5 million yen, and it is clear that a large amount of money is required to “”convert”” a car to a carbon body.

    　Depending on the price of the base Skyline GT-R, it would cost at least 30 million yen to reproduce this car.”

    “Posting the next “”Skyline GT-R Custom Specs””! R36 APX”” in V-Spec II color is awesome! Total of 300,000 likes on the hottest renderings!

    What is the Nissan “”Skyline *R36* GT-R APX””?
    　On August 19, 2022, a rendering of the next-generation Nissan “”Skyline GT-R (R36)”” was posted on Instagram, creating quite a stir.
    　
    　Later, on the 30th of the same month, a rendering of a customized version of the Nissan “”Skyline *R36* GT-R APX”” was released.

    This is… impressive! The customization of the next model “”GT-R”” is just amazing!

    This is… a custom rendering of the next-generation “”Skyline GT-R””! The response to the rendering is amazing! (Photo Thanks: Avante Design & Roman Miah)

    　Nissan’s proud “”GT-R brand”” has been passed down from the “”Skyline GT-R”” to the “”GT-R””.

    　The current 6th generation (R35), which was introduced in 2007, will be the 2022 model year, but as of August 2022, orders are no longer being accepted since the number of units ordered quickly reached the planned sales volume after its release.

    　In addition, the current GT-R has been on the market for 15 years, and although it has evolved over the years, its design is undeniably old, and some people on social networking sites are asking, “”Will the 2022 model be the last GT-R?

    　Furthermore, due to various regulations such as fuel efficiency standards and noise regulations that are getting stricter year by year, there are even rumors that “”the next GT-R must be electric? The next GT-R will have to be an electric vehicle?

    　In response, Avante Design and Roman Miah jointly posted a rendering of the “”2023 Nissan *R36* Skyline GT-R”” on Instagram, which has received a huge response, with approximately 300,000 likes in one and a half days.

    　Commenting on the rendering, Roman Miah said, “”The idea behind this concept was to recreate the iconic Skyline design cues and arguably Japanese styling of the GT-R’s forward-looking past. The actual creation of the car took more than six months.

    　Looking at the multiple images posted, the body itself is based on the R35, but the front face is somewhat reminiscent of the R34.

    　The rear of the car, on the other hand, uses different large round tail lamps like the R34, but the angular shape of the body is reminiscent of the R33.

    　While the R36 is such a hot topic, a new rendering of the Nissan “”Skyline *R36* GT-R APX”” has been posted.

    　The base model is the aforementioned R36, but it has been customized in various parts, and Avante Design has posted the following

    Avante Design commented, “”After receiving some of the previous designs by Roman Miah and feedback from everyone, we are excited to show you a track version that takes its cues from the beloved Nismo design.””

    　This APX version features several modern elements inspired by the GT-R R-50 Concept, as well as the Skyline GT-R V Spec II Nur’s limited edition body color, Millennium Jade Metallic.

    　Other features include a forward-extending lip spoiler, front and rear over fenders, a ducted hood, and bronze wheels.

    　Around the rear, the GT wing differs from the base version, the four taillights have been cleared, and a diffuser has been adopted for aerodynamic purposes. In addition, the muffler was changed from a two-piece left and right muffler to a four-piece right and left muffler.

    　This APX version has received many comments from overseas users, such as “”Very nice! It’s a good idea to lead the old look to the new model. I would 100% buy it if it looked like this.”” “”I want to install this R36 body kit on my R35! There were many praises for this kit.

    　The R36 has also been the talk of the town on Japanese social networking sites, with comments such as, “”If only this were a reality! This design is amazing! The Millennium Jade has got me! The R36 is also the subject of much praise on Japanese social networking sites, with comments such as, “”If only this were a reality!

    This post is about “”R36″” and “”R36″”.

    　Many users are interested in both the “”R36″” and the “”APX version”” together in this post.

    　Although no realistic official announcement has been made regarding the next-generation “”GT-R,”” it is possible that the design of the Skyline GT-R will be incorporated, given that the new “”Fairlady Z,”” the seventh generation of the model, has adopted a design that pays homage to previous generations of the model.

    why? Is there a “Skyline GT-R” that exceeds 100 million yen? What is the reason why the best R34 is traded at a high price .

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Why? Skyline GT-R”” worth over 100 million yen? Why are the top R34s sold at such high prices?

    Why the Nissan “”Skyline GT-R (BNR34)”” aka R34 has a record high price in Japanese car history
    　The “”Wild Speed”” movie series continues to be a huge hit around the world.
    　
    　The late actor Paul Walker, who played the main character Brian O’Connor, was known as a big car enthusiast in his private life.
    　
    　The Nissan “”Skyline GT-R (BNR34),”” which Paul Walker actually drove, is now being sold.

    The most amazing R34 in the world! See the actual Skyline GT-R, worth over 100 million yen!

    A truly exquisite car… The “”R34 Skyline GT-R”” actually driven by Paul Walker is priced at over 100 million yen (Photo: HiveAuto Group).

    　Since the first film in the series was released in 2001, nine full-length films, known as the “”Fast Saga,”” and many related films have been released to date.

    　The appeal of the Wild Speed series is its flashy car action.

    　In particular, many domestic sports cars from the 1990s and 2000s have appeared in the series, leading to a domestic sports car boom in the U.S. The Wild Speed series is also one of the most popular.

    　One of the most popular cars in the Wild Speed series is the R34 Skyline GT-R of the main character, Brian O’Connor.

    　Its beautiful body painted in bright “”Bayside Blue”” and dynamic performance have attracted many fans who have seen the movie.

    　Such a special S-R34 Skyline GT-R is now being sold in the United States.

    　It is being sold by Hive Auto Group, a used car dealership in San Diego, California, and is listed under the title “”2001 NISSAN MOTOREX R34 V SPEC II.

    　In principle, there are no overseas specifications (left-hand drive version) for the R34 Skyline GT-R, so it is necessary to clear various problems in order to allow the car to run in the United States.

    　Under such circumstances, “”MOTOREX”” imported a very small number of Skyline GT-R (R34) in a condition that allowed them to be driven on public roads in compliance with U.S. regulations.

    　But what makes this R34 Skyline GT-R truly unique is that most of its 21,000 miles (33,800 km) to date have been built by Paul Walker.

    　This particular car was featured on a poster by the U.S. tire manufacturer BF Goodrich in the early 2000s, with its “”Bayside Blue”” body and gold graphics and stripes.

    　The heart of the car is an RB26DETT, which is combined with a NISMO carbon air inlet pipe and a Greddy intake manifold.

    　The transmission is a 6-speed manual transmission, and the suspension is equipped with TEIN electronically controlled variable dampers.

    　Other notable features include a Trust stainless steel exhaust pipe and a Sparco 4-point harness.

    　Regarding this R34 Skyline GT-R, “”Hive Auto Group”” explains, “”This R34 GT-R is not like most, and only serious buyers should inquire about it.

    　The price is said to be “”negotiable,”” but as of June 9, it is estimated to be $850,000 (approximately 113.6 million yen).

    　As for the R34 Skyline GT-R, there was an example of a like-new “”V SPEC II Nur”” that sold for approximately 60 million yen in the past.

    　However, the R34 Skyline GT-R being sold this time is much more than that, and if the deal goes through, it is expected to be sold at one of the highest prices in the history of Japanese cars.
    　
    　* * *

    　Paul Walker passed away in a car accident in 2014, but he still has many fans and is a legend among domestic sports car fans.

    　The R34 Skyline GT-R that Paul Walker actually drove is expected to fetch over 100 million yen.

    　In 2023, “”Wild Speed X,”” the tenth film in the Wild Speed series, is scheduled to be released.”

    Is this the “Juke GT-R”? Will “R” be realized even with the new model ?

    ByChathura Chanuka

    “Is this the “”Juke GT-R””? Will the “”R”” still be a reality in the new model April 2, 2022, 5:00 p.m.

    Nissan has created a spartan hardcore model, the Juke R, for the first-generation Juke, and we have made a big design prediction with high hopes that it will be introduced in the second generation.

    The first-generation Juke was introduced in 2010. The second generation was launched in Europe in 2019, but was replaced in the U.S. and Japanese markets by the Kicks, which was not introduced as the Juke.

    The Juke R, introduced in the first generation, is a crazy SUV model tuned based on the VR38DETT engine used in Nissan’s world-class GT-R supercar and boosted to a maximum output of 545 hp.

    The “”R”” predicted for the new Juke model features aggressive styling with thick fenders, an angular rear end, and a bold front end. The major changes compared to the base model are concentrated at the front and rear, with the new R featuring a new, taller and sportier front bumper, air intakes in a gap adjacent to the black foglight housings under the headlights and LED daytime running lights, and a central air intake The grille has been enlarged to the grille, greatly increasing its intimidation factor.

    On the sides, thicker side skirts are fitted, and at the rear, the roof spoiler has been replaced by a circular roof-mounted wing. At the bottom, a large circular quad exhaust pipe was installed on the newly designed bumper, and a diffuser was placed. It is quite exciting.

    On February 28, Nissan launched the Juke Hybrid with a newly developed hybrid system, which is powered by a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. The company is also rumored to be working on an electric version of the GT-R, and if the Juke R is set for the new model, there may be a surprise in the form of its electric powertrain being diverted.”
