Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R KPGC110 Silver Kyosho 1:18

Sold out
Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R KPGC110 Silver Kyosho 1:18 08255S Diecast
1 / 8
Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R KPGC110 reproduces the 1973 Kenmeri coupe in silver, carrying the S20 straight-six shared with the earlier Hakosuka GT-R. Production of this generation ended within months as the oil crisis and tightening emissions rules closed the nameplate until 1989, making an accurate KPGC110 replica a genuine gap-filler for a JDM performance collection.

About the Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R KPGC110 Silver Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's 1:18 diecast Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R KPGC110 reproduces the 1973 Kenmeri coupe in silver, with the S20 straight-six shared with the earlier Hakosuka GT-R. This second-generation GT-R had one of the shortest production runs in Nissan history, ended abruptly by the 1973 oil crisis, at standard diecast tier for JDM collectors.

The Kenmeri GT-R had barely reached showrooms before the 1973 oil crisis and tighter emissions rules forced Nissan to drop the GT-R name for sixteen years. Kyosho treats that brief window seriously, building the KPGC110 as a proper subject rather than a footnote between the Hakosuka and the R32.

The Kenmeri and a GT-R Nameplate Cut Short

From Hakosuka to a Wider, Heavier Coupe

The KPGC110 replaced the Hakosuka GT-R in 1973 with a longer, wider body suited to the S20 straight-six carried over largely unchanged, an engine derived from Nissan's racing programme rather than a standard production unit. The nickname 'Kenmeri' came from an advertising campaign built around a couple named Ken and Mary, and it stuck to the car far more firmly than its official model designation ever did. Silver was among the more common factory colours for the coupe, giving this example an authentic period look rather than a livery invented for the model range.

A Production Run Measured in Months, Not Years

Nissan had barely started series production when the 1973 oil crisis hit Japan, and tightening emissions standards arrived at the same time, together making a high-performance six-cylinder coupe an impossible sell. The GT-R nameplate disappeared afterwards until the R32 revived it in 1989, which makes the KPGC110 one of the shortest-lived performance cars Nissan ever built and a genuinely scarce subject for any JDM shelf. That scarcity carries through to the collector market, where an original example rarely appears without a well-documented history.

Kyosho's Reading of a Compact JDM Coupe

Panel Lines and the KPGC110's Wider Arches

Kyosho's zinc alloy body captures the flared rear arches that set the Kenmeri apart from the narrower Hakosuka, and the shut lines around the doors and boot stay consistent across the whole car rather than opening up unevenly at one corner. The silver paint carries a clean, even finish that shows the coupe's slab-sided profile clearly under direct light, without the orange-peel texture that lower-tier diecast sometimes shows on flat panels.

Engine Bay and Cabin Fidelity

Under the bonnet, the model renders the S20's block and intake runners with more presence than a blanked-off panel, a reasonable level of engine-bay detail for a mid-tier diecast rather than a stripped-down shell. Inside, the dashboard layout and bucket-seat shape follow the real car's period design, and the wheels sit with the correct offset inside the wider arches rather than tucked in too far. Doors open on firm metal hinges that hold their position without drooping, a small but telling sign of build quality on a casting this size.

A Scarce Chapter for a JDM Shelf

At around 25 centimetres, the KPGC110 fits comfortably alongside other Japanese performance coupes of the 1970s without dominating a shelf the way larger European cars can. Its short production run means the real car is genuinely rare today, which makes an accurate diecast version one of the more practical ways most collectors will ever get close to studying its detailing. Displayed next to a Hakosuka GT-R or an early Skyline saloon, this Kenmeri fills the gap in the nameplate's history between two better-known cars, telling the fuller story of how the GT-R survived its own near-cancellation. Keep it out of strong sunlight, since silver metallic paint can show UV fade over years faster than darker factory colours. For a collector chasing the complete GT-R lineage, this remains the hardest generation to source correctly detailed, which adds real weight to getting it right in scale.
