Pop Race Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Calsonic IMPUL No. 12 JTC 1990 (PR64-104) - Picture Gallery Part 1

The Birth of Godzilla

If you mention "Japanese Touring Car Championship" to any motorsport fan, one image instantly springs to mind: a blue R32 GT-R tearing up the track. Today, we are taking a close look at the 1/64 scale tribute to that legend—the Pop Race Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Calsonic IMPUL JTC 1990 No. 12.

Pop Race has built a reputation for packing incredible detail into small packages, and this release (PR64-104) is no exception. Replicating the car that earned the GT-R its "Godzilla" nickname by winning all six races of the 1990 JTC season, this diecast is a piece of history in the palm of your hand.

The Calsonic blue paint is vibrant and accurate to the period. Notice the distinct "CALSONIC" branding across the windshield banner and the detailed headlights which give it a lifelike gaze. The silhouette of the R32 is unmistakable. Pop Race has nailed the ride height, it sits low, just like the real Group A touring car. The white 6-spoke IMPUL wheels contrast perfectly against the blue body, wrapped in real rubber tires that look ready for the track.

Most competitors in 1990 only ever saw this view. The quad round tail lights are distinct, and the massive rear wing is faithfully reproduced. You can also spot the tow hook detail and the "No. 12" racing number clearly displayed on the bumper.
