The X-Trac developed sequential 6-speed gearbox efficiently transmitted this engine's awesome power to the rear wheels. The four wheel double wishbone suspension system has almost the same construction as Nissan's highly competitive Gr.C machines raced during the 1980's. The body shell was extensively modified to obtain even better aerodynamics. Additional air intakes/outlets and oversized fenders gave its massive silhouetted an even more aggressive appearance.

Painted in a distinctive, overall blue color scheme, the Calsonic Skyline GT-R fully displayed its outstanding performance to the Japanese motorsports fans throughout the season.
