This is a 2003 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R NISMO that ran GT500 class in the JGTC. It was the first to employ a twin turbo V6 rather than their iconic straight six for compactness, weight distribution and lower center of gravity. It was also the last of the NISMO Skyline GT-Rs as the Fairlady Z (Z33) replaced it the following year. These cars were nicknamed "Godzilla" for reasons you could probably figure out.

@josh Thanks Josh. I try to add a little backstory  about the car and/or the model for entertainment value if nothing else.

I'll echo what @Josh said, @rich-sufficool...I really enjoy the mini-history lessons, especially on cars I may not know about.  Keep it up!
