• The First GT-R (Hakosuka, Kenmeri)
  The GT-R name was used for the very first time over 50 years ago. It was called by the nickname "Hakosuka" because it looked like a box. Later, the cool-looking "Kenmeri" was born. The GT-R from this era did great in races, but sadly it took a break for a little while.

Skyline and GT-R became separate cars!

At first, the Skyline GT-R / GT-R was a special "GT-R" grade inside the car called "Skyline." But to make an even faster and more amazing car, it was reborn as a different car from the Skyline.

• Why did they split?
  The Skyline kept evolving into a comfy car that is easy to drive every day. Meanwhile, the GT-R was specially designed to go after speed as "the fastest car in the world." That is why the two cars went down their own separate paths!

How to Choose Colors

To make your Skyline GT-R / GT-R look super cool, try using special coloring tricks for its body! Professional designers color cars by imagining how light hits them and how the scenery around them shines on the surface.

• Basic body colors: The Skyline GT-R / GT-R comes in many colors, like black, silver, white, blue, and red. Choose your favorite color!
• The blue color called "Bayside Blue" is a classic color for the R34, and it is super popular!
• Shiny parts: For places where the light hits and looks bright, like the roof or hood, use a slightly lighter color. You can also leave some parts white as highlights (shiny spots) to make it look nice and shiny!
• Shadow parts: For dark places in the shade, like under the car or above the tires, color them with a slightly darker color. This will make your car look 3D!
• Windows: Color the windows with light blue or sky blue. It will look cool, just like the sky is reflecting in them!
• Tires and wheels: Make it look real by coloring the tires black, and the wheels silver, black, or gold!

How to color to make it look 3D

To make the car look 3D, the trick is to think about "shadows" and "highlights" as you color. On a coloring page, the shadowed parts are often drawn with lines, so try using those lines as your guide!

• When using colored pencils: Try pressing hard for dark parts and pressing gently for light parts. This will make your Skyline GT-R / GT-R look 3D!
