Skyline GTR: The Ultimate Japanese Supercar Hardcover – January 1, 2005

The best book he ever received as a gift about the skyline. I swear he sleeps with it! ;)

The author is British, it comes through in the writing. My husband recently got this car and wanted to know more about it, and this book helped alot.

An excellent book on many levels - firstly it is one of the only books I've found, which is available in English and deals quite comprehensively with the Skyline, right from Prince motors roots right through to the R34.You could also say Butler has got his info directly from 'the source' - the man who was chief of development for the R32-R34 GT-Rs, so the info should prove to be quite accurate.The book not only deals with each of the R32, R33 and R34 GT-R models in detail, pointing out the major differences between the variants such as 400R, M-spec and V-spec II, Nür, and so on, but also has sections on what to look out for when buying one, how to best maintain a GT-R, and tune it. Of course it is by no means a comprehensive manual on each of these topics but they are useful inclusions.The book is written fom a UK-perspective, (so the English is perfect), but also includes a section with some international perspective on the cars (such as how they were brought to Australia).There are also stacks of great high-res photos, most of which are of cars in top condition, and many 'stock' cars, which is nice to see, so that you can appreciate how the cars were originally designed, before all the aftermarket add-ons.Some of the humour is a bit cheesy... but as an Australian owner of an R33 GT-R I've found this book to be both an informative and entertaining read, as well as good reference material to help understand my car.

Great book! it is well writen, and the author is well informed.Perfact for the new skyline fan.I hope the author writes a Volume 2 soon. with more indepth tuningchapters.The first reason that I would moove out of the USA is to own aSkyline R34 V Spec 2 Nur' Amazing car!

A fantastic book, very informative and systematic review on the R32-R34 models and limited editions such as the v spec. also includes a history of the skyline dating back to 1955.The photogrphs used throughout the book are great and worth the investment alone..

Skyline GT-R: The ultimate Japanese supercarA 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!
