Equipment
Full carbon body work, RENIK built RB26 engine, sequential 6-speed transmission, NISMO brakes, built by Hasemi Motorsport for the 1994 JGTCC season and primarily driven by Masahiro Hasemi where it had one win and one in Super Taiyku N1 endurance race.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
As a former JGTCC race car, this GT-R has plenty of battle scars. The front bumper has major chips and cracks, there are major paint chips behind the right rear wheel exposing the carbon fiber bodywork. The engine compartment is clean but shows age and the interior is surprisingly clean. A wonderfully preserved race car that looks as if it just finished the season.
Market commentary
Japanese Grand Touring series cars are rare and relatively unknown in the United States. While the low estimate of $500,000 was a reasonable expectation, the sale price of $280,000 reflects the immaturity of racing Skylines in the US market. In hindsight a reserve sale would have been the best move by the consigner, but the best result of all would likely have been to offer it back in the Japanese market where these cars are highly revered.
