About the Nissan Skyline GT-R #22 M. Krumm / S. Motoyama Xanavi Nismo JGTC 2002 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: This AUTOart Nissan Skyline GT-R reproduces car #22 in Xanavi Nismo livery from the 2002 JGTC season, driven by M. Krumm and S. Motoyama, as a 1:18 diecast. The sponsor graphics and race-specification bodywork make it a strong centrepiece for a Japanese GT racing display.

Nismo campaigned the Skyline GT-R at the top level of Japanese GT racing through the early 2000s, and the Xanavi-branded cars were among the series' most recognisable entries.

Detailing the #22 Xanavi Nismo GT-R

A race-liveried GT-R like this lives on the accuracy of its sponsor graphics, and the diecast body's smooth base surface gives the Xanavi branding and #22 roundel a clean foundation to sit on. AUTOart's diecast construction at this level typically opens the doors and bonnet, exposing the roll cage and stripped racing interior beneath, a genuine advantage over a sealed resin equivalent for a subject where the mechanical layout is part of the appeal. Panel gaps around the widened GT-R arches are worth checking for consistency, since flared race bodywork is harder to cast cleanly than a standard road-car shape. Getting the specific shade separation between the Xanavi livery elements right matters more here than on a plain single-colour finish.

The Skyline GT-R in JGTC Competition

The Japanese GT Championship ran heavily modified versions of production-based cars, and Nismo's Skyline GT-R entries were consistently among the field's strongest performers through the early 2000s. Krumm and Motoyama's pairing on car #22 places this specific livery within that competitive era, giving the model a genuine motorsport identity rather than a generic race-styled paint job.

Building a JGTC Collection Around This GT-R

This model works well alongside other JGTC-era entries, where numbered liveries and sponsor branding tell a season's competitive story when grouped together. Keep the sponsor decals out of direct sunlight, since fine printed graphics fade faster than solid body paint, and handle the opening panels carefully to protect the fine detail near the hinges. As a specific, dateable slice of Japanese GT racing, it anchors a motorsport shelf convincingly.
