The exterior of this R34 is what makes all of us wish we were born Japanese, sported a funky JDM haircut and had pixelated genitalia. The entire body kit comes from the NISMO collection of fresh-to-def automobile exteriors. Starting off with the dry carbon fiber hood, this NISMO body kit is made to cut through the ambient atmosphere like a samurai sword to Lucy Liu's cranium. On the sides are NISMO side steps connecting the Z-Tune front fender to the rest of the gorgeous body. If this car had an equivalent in the human world, it would be a combination of Jessica Alba, Lauren London and that chick who co-hosts Dancing with the Stars. In the front, TRIAL opted for a Mine's carbon diffuser, and to stabilize the chassis on the Osaka streets, they flopped on a TRIAL wing stay in the rear. Taking all of this beauty from point A to point B is a set of 18-inch Rays TE37s, white as the body. They're wrapped in gummy Yokohama A048 tires and are more major than Lee Majors himself.
Inside is simple, but perfect. After all, we're talking about a Skyline here, and there should be minor adjustments when it comes to modifying the interior. On that note, TRIAL added a 12-point rollbar just in case the Osaka "one time" chases them down a steep bank, and they also installed a set of money-shot worthy Recaro SP-G seats, adorned in equally ganmen-showers worthy Takata harnesses. Of course, all this safety equipment would only be necessary if the front AP 6-pot brake calipers with fluid cooler and rear Brembo 4-pot brakes weren't functional.
This is pretty much the prettiest and cleanest Skyline we've ever seen. It's straight to the point, majorly powerful, epicly sexy and supremely Japanese. If we were to own one, we'd like to own this Skyline simply because it's rare, and we trust TRIAL's choice in accessories. But seeing that we'll never own one, we'll just focus on making ganmen showers on photos of Jessica Alba, Lauren London and the chick who co-hosts Dancing with the Stars.
