About

This R34 GT-R took to the track in the 1999 All Japan GT Championship. Compared to the previous R33 model, its wheelbase was shortened by 2.2 inches, and the engine was repositioned using a shallow oil pan—enhancements that significantly boosted overall performance. At Round 4 held at Mine Circuit, Erik Comas and Satoshi Motoyama claimed a decisive victory in the Pennzoil NISMO GT-R, securing Comas his second consecutive drivers' title.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R has a storied racing history. It established a tradition that has continued with these second generation GT-Rs. The 1999 Pennzoil Nismo GT-R was powered by an inline 6-cylinder RB26DETT engine...and won the All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship. Showing rock-solid performance over the years, it has proved itself to be a natural winner. While the R34 GT-R took the title victory again in 2003, its final year...the battle-tested GT-R engine under its bonnet had already been changed to the new V6. This means that this 1999 Pennzoil was the last GT-R to win the series title with the iconic inline 6 engine. There's just something special about this inline 6 model. For me, its achievements are nothing short of legendary.
