With only 197 units produced, the 110 GT-R featured an new L20 unit with 6 more horses comparing to its predecessor, in an lightweight sporty RWD layout, its one of most desirable cars to date with 167HP and 22Kgfm on an 1130Kg shell featuring an 5spd manual box, its my favorite old school Japonese sports car and it defnetely deserve an Premium version.
 
A correct title would be "Nissan Skyline GT-R (KPGC110) [Premium] 1974".
The name of the car is wrong... It's Skyline 2000GT-R (KPGC110). We should alert the OP of this thread but I feel that won't change anything as he/she has been dead since 2014...

The C10 Skyline, nicknamed "Hakosuka" (meaning box skyline), handed the baton to a new model in September 1972. The new model C110 was given the nickname "Kenmeri" from its commercials and was an explosion hit immediately after its debut.

The body had a fluid form, omitting all unnecessary lines. However, it still had the surface lines and the four headlights that were identifying marks of the Skyline.

The GT-R emblem returned to this Kenmeri in the following year, in January 1973. The model code of this GT-R was KPGC110, and it was equipped with the same legendary engine, the S20 inline 6-cylinder. There was no change in the 157 HP maximum power and 130.1 ft-lb maximum torque. The front strut and rear semi-trailing arm suspension was also the same as the previous GT-R, but the new 4-wheel disc brakes were an advancement.

If all went well, this Kenmeri GT-R should have won many battles on race circuits as well, but what this car had to fight was the rising emissions regulations. The S20 was almost a pure racing engine and could not overcome this fierce foe. So Nissan made a difficult decision. After only 3 months and 197 car built, this Kenmeri GT-R disappeared, without ever having fought in a race. Thereafter, Nissan would seal away the GT-R emblem for 16 years, until its comeback with the R32.
