Racing Heritage Recreated

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 recreates Team Impul's 2001 All-Japan GT Championship machine with careful attention to period detail. Piloted by Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoshi Motoyama in competition, this model honours that racing lineage while providing a buildable, displayable RC kit.

Authentic Bodywork and Balance

This 1/10 scale kit features a faithfully modelled shell that captures the aggressive stance of the original GT-R. Details such as the low bumper spoiler, pronounced blister fenders and large rear wing are reproduced to keep the silhouette true while helping reduce unnecessary weight for better on-track balance.

TA04-S Chassis and Tuning

The TA04-S platform underpins this kit, using a high-efficiency 2-belt 4WD arrangement for smooth power delivery. The reinforced resin double-deck frame allows fine tuning of setup and race-oriented adjustments. Note that motor, battery and radio gear are sold separately so you can match electronics to your driving style.

For hobbyists who value accurate livery and a chassis built for tuning, the Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 offers craft quality and racing capability in one kit. Its adjustable TA04-S layout makes it a solid base for track setup and display builds.

The build has several precision steps and adjustable parts, so new builders should expect a moderate challenge. Taking time for careful painting and assembly makes the result much better.
A sensored or sensorless 540-size motor with an appropriate ESC and a 7.2V or modern LiPo pack sized to fit the chassis bay will work well. Choose gearing to match your intended running surface.
Yes, front and rear double wishbone geometry, camber and toe are adjustable so you can tune handling for street, carpet or asphalt circuits.
Genuine replacement parts and accessories are available from Tamiya dealers and parts catalogues, which helps keep this model serviceable for years.
