1989 Nissan R89C Calsonic by Exoto.
There are three videos one with bodywork on, one with bodywork and tires off and one showing how the jacks work.
This video shows the car with all the bodywork installed.
This video show the car with the bodywork removed and the tires off.

crazy impressive model. Great livery too.
Calsonic is iconic within Nissan.

Old? Sure! But Exoto's are so good they age very well.

@marty-johnson Exotos are very nicely made lots of quality in them the only problem is some of these have been sitting in warehouses going through heat cycles over the years and that cases the glue on certain parts to fail. I have had to repair some of my Exoto's where the glue failed. Outside of that they are some of the finest full featured opening diecast money can buy.

Here is something I bet many don't know but the wheel nuts on the Sauber-Mercedes C9 and the Nissan R89C are different sizes, the Sauber-Mercedes C9 wheel nut wrench will not work on the Nissan R89C wheel nuts. The Nissan R89C comes with a black plastic tool to operate the jacks and to remove/install the wheel nuts. Also the Sauber-Mercedes C9 wheel nuts are two piece with a nut and a back washer while the Nissan R89C the wheel nut is one piece with the nut having a flared flange on it. The Sauber-Mercedes C9 has a nice metal wheel nut wrench.
