Tomica Limited 1:60 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-B

....atau lebih tepat lagi Prince Skyline 2000GT-B

The Skyline name originated from Prince automobile company, which developed and sold the Skyline line of sedans before merging with Nissan-Datsun. The GT-R abbreviation stands for Gran Turismo Racer while the GT-B stands for Gran Turismo Berlinetta. The Japanese chose to use Italian when naming the car – as most cars made in Japan at that time used Western abbreviations – to further enhance sales. The earliest predecessor of the GT-R, the S54 2000 GT-B, came second in its first race in 1964 to the purpose-built Porsche 904 GTS.

Prince created a racing GT Skyline in May 1964. It was based on the S54 and used the larger 6-cylinder G-7 engine from the Gloria S41, though the car needed an 8" extension to the wheelbase (all forward of the cowl/firewall) to provide space in the engine bay for the lankier in-line six. When it entered the 2nd Japanese Grand prix they hoped to win the GT-II class. Competitive against the Porsche 904, the Skyline managed 2nd through to 6th places.

Largely due to the success of the race vehicle, the Prince Skyline 2000GT (also called GT-A, GT-B, S54A and S54B) was released to the Japanese market. There were two versions produced:[7]

-S54A – 1988 cc G-7 single-carb I6, 105 hp (78 kW)

-S54B – 1988 cc G-7 triple-carb I6, 125 hp (94 kW)

The B model featured three Weber 40DCOE-18 carburetors, a limited slip differential, 5-speed close ratio manual transmission, and power brakes. Both the B and A used front disc brakes with dual pistons and alloy finned drums in the rear.

Dapat info kat atas dari pakcik wikipedia. Walaupun byk yang aku tak brapa nak paham, tapi yang aku tau Prince Skyline 2000GT-B S54 ni memang legend....bukan itu ajer, malahan toknek kepada legend!! Kalu nak ikutkan inilah kereta asal usul Nissan GTR R35 yang femes sekang ni. Model GTR olskool yang femes macam Hakusoka & Kimeneri tu lagi muda dari model GT-B ni. Jadi tak salah ler keputusan aku utk beli Tomica Limited S54 ni......Walhal sebelum beli aku taktau ceghita hingga lah surf dalam tenet psal kreta ni.

Cube tengok kereta sebenar, sebelum tengok version scale 1:60......
Aku rasa ini lah gambar kereta yang dapat nomor 2 dalam Japanese Grandprix tahun 1964
