Product Description

Review
With the imminent official launch of the Nissan GT-R, now is the time to celebrate the legendary performance and engineering marvels found in the GT-R breed. With that in mind, US enthusiast and GT-R technophile Alex Gorodji has put together Nissan GT-R, a 196 page hardback book that details the model from it's alunch. Unlike other histories, this book concentrates on technical developments such as ATTESA E-TS and HICAS as well as the driving experience and racing heritage. So it is sure to appeal to enthusiasts on many different levels as wella s offering plenty of full colour phootgraphs as eye candy. Bargain! --Banzai, January, 2009

I bought this book right when it came out and devoured it the first day I received it. A must for any GTR enthusiast and or fan. - --jdmego dot wordpress dotcom

Mr Gorodji has been on the GTR scene since the beginning and has an excellent book full of details and images on the car line since its start. - --2009gtr dot com

Product Description
Since its introduction, the Skyline GT-R has been the undeniable king of the tuner car world. This book explains why. Along with an overview of Skylines since their debut in 1957, author Alex Gorodji gives in-depth reviews of the last four generations of GT-R's, including the new-for 2008 V35 - the first generation of this car to be sold in the US. Paying special attention to technical aspects such as the all-wheel steering and drive systems, the chassis, and the legendary six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine, his work explains the GT-R to those who already admire the car, and to those who wonder what all the excitement is about.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK, but..., 17 Nov 2008
By SUPER GT JUNKIE (Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
First, note that despite the cover picture there is not that much on the 'new' GTR (i.e. R35) in the book - just the final short chapter, and not that much depth there. What it does do well is go over the 'Skyline' story - especially the R32/R33/R34 models. If you're more interested in those than the R35 (the launch of the R35 maybe influenced the timing of the book coming out, I'd guess), then this is a good read.

Why only 2 stars? Well, apart from the misleading cover, there's another really annoying thing: the author devotes a significant number of pages (I am strongly tempted to write 'WASTES a significant number...' there) to describing how he went about converting Skylines from right- to left-hand-drive (presumably for American roads) - the book could certainly do without those bits (and I'd honestly think that even if I were American) - it has a jarring effect, you jump suddenly from a nice 'History of the Skylines' narrative to a 'Haynes-DIY'-type thing. This happens twice in the book, but surely not many people would be interested in hearing how it's done even once? As Clarkson would say, 'BOOORRING'...

If you love the 90s Skyline GTRs, then you'll probably love this book, but if you're getting it because of the pic of the car on the cover, then you might be quite disappointed.
