Tribute to Team Impul

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 pays tribute to Team Impul's 2001 All-Japan GT Championship entry, including the cars campaigned by Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoshi Motoyama. The kit focuses on period-correct appearance and practical build steps for hobbyists.

Detailed Shell and On-Track Balance

This 1/10 scale body captures the original car's aggressive profile, from its pronounced bumper spoiler to the wide blister arches and sizeable rear wing. The detailed shell is modelled to keep visual accuracy while limiting excess mass to support better cornering behaviour.

High-Efficiency TA04-S Platform

Under the shell the TA04-S chassis provides a reliable 2-belt full-time 4WD system and a resin double-deck frame for stable tuning. The design supports competitive setup changes, and you will need to supply your own motor, battery and radio gear to complete the car.

The Tamiya 58285 Calsonic Skyline GT-R 2001 combines authentic liveries with a tunable TA04-S chassis, suitable for collectors who like to fine tune handling and power. It works well as a display model or a track-focused build.

Intermediate builders will find the kit rewarding thanks to adjustable parts and trim work; newcomers can still complete it with patience and basic modelling tools.
Yes, the TA04-S platform is suited for club-level touring car events when paired with the correct motor and gearing for the track surface.
Use a clear coat made for lexan bodies and apply thin even layers. Mask details carefully and allow full cure time before mounting to avoid scratches during handling.
