Skyline sunroof?

So I bought a 1:18 scale skyline gtr r34 (muscle machine's muscle tuners brand)a couple days ago. Its one of the first ones I have seen available in a regular store around here that actually kept it as a right hand drive car like it should be. For whatever reason, everytime i find a skyline model, steering wheel is on the damn left side. They never made that! Anyways, I noticed today that the model has a sunroof. To the best of my knowledge, Nissan never produced any gtr's with sunroofs. DOes anyone know if it was an option?? That would suck cuz I thought this model was pretty cool and would hate for it to be ruined by an innacuracy like this. It would be almost as bad as the left hand drive gtr models.
Overall though, its pretty nice. I managed to find a blue one rather than the ones made with the ricey yellow and green aftermarket paint. It has a widebody kit and a signal wing.

Pretty sure it was a luxury item that you can have fitted at the factory... a lot of manufacturers start doing stuff like that...

Is the model by AutoART? Usually their models are built to the highest standards of accuracy...

EVO or Skyline?

1) What would you choose, and EVO or a Skyline, both stock, and would be given 2 you for free.

OR

2) What would you choose, a modified EVO to meet up to the preformance of a skyline, and all that was different was the looks basically.


Now you can choose ither a evo 7/8 for the evo you would want to be given to you

and for the skyline ither the GTR-34 or the 2007 Concept.
