More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The Nissan Skyline GT-R is the icon amongst Japanese performance cars, its almost mythical status accentuated both by its domination of numerous motorsport divisions and by its ultimate tuneability, which has led to GT-Rs with well over 1000bhp. Only officially sold in strictly limited numbers outside Japan, the large numbers of 'grey' imports into the UK, Australia and the USA have ensured that the legend has spread and the GT-R has a huge aspirational following world-wide. Although the GT-R has towering power and performance, the sophisticated chassis and cutting-edge technology mean that it can be driven safely and swiftly by almost anyone. A unique insight into the ultimate Japanese supercar.

If you read the other reviewer's ('Mad Matt') first paragraph, about not knowing much about the Skyline except its streetfighter 'reputation' and liking films such as Fast&Furious and so on, and if you think you're pretty similar, then as he says, this will probably be a good book for you.
Personally, it wasn't for me. I'm no great expert, but I do know a bit about Skylines, and this book did seem quite superficial - and certainly too in awe of the GT-R's 'reputation'. There are some good bits for sure, but if you already feel you know a little about the R32/33/34, then I'm not convinced you'll learn much more here.

Skyline GT-R: The ultimate Japanese supercar
A bit of a "curate's egg", this book-good in parts.
I am a Skyline enthusiast, hence the reason for purchasing this book.
I have read a great deal about, and looked at quite a few Skylines.
Some of the material was quite interesting, but like "Swansea Dog" I felt slightly disappointed at the end of the day.
There's no doubting the author's enthusiasm, but this seems to overshadow his objectivity in large part.
Still doesn't stop me wanting one,though!

I bought this book to find out more about my car, I am a member of the owners clubs (grt and skyline owners), but this book give you a lot of information about all the different models and the specs, this is a great read to gain an insight in to how they should be driven and why they were built and why they becam iconic.
