The only thing potentially more rad than the sports cars coming out of Japan in the '90s might be the liveries run on track. Case in point: the numerous flashy designs found on racing versions of the R32-chassis Nissan Skyline GT-R.

Which one is your favorite? HKS oil slick, Calsonic blue, black and red Advan stripes, or maybe something not mentioned on …

Gotta be that HKS Graffiti(?) livery. I don't recall the official name, but it's my favorite.

I've always considered myself an HKS guy, but that Axia livery might be my new favorite.

HKS with Axia in close second. Very fitting for the Rad Era.

I started with GT3 and I believe the Unisia car was gone from that version.  I'll take the Calsonic R34:

GT4 Nissan CALSONIC SKYLINE (JGTC) '00

I remember hating this car because in the AI hands this one in particular was a brainless battering ram with no brakes (plus black wheels suck):

I've been wearing this very nice mask from Blipshift everywhere. HKS all the way.

HKS. True early 90's style. I still have a similar cover on my futon...

I'd go with the Calsonic, but mostly just because I love the font of the 'calsonic'.

As far as overall coloring/design, I've always liked the red/black only Taisan.

Never been a fan of the HKS livery, even back in the 90's.

The Advan is kind of the sleeper in the set.

The one in the original post is actually a little different than the one I'm used to.
