Pictured with him is Yasuka Kosuge, co-owner of the company.There is a man who is revered as the “Skyline God” in the United States. He is Sean Morris, co-owner of the import company Top Rank USA. Top Rank USA imports many Japanese sports cars, especially the R32/33 Skyline GT-R, and has sold many of them. Mr. Morris explains the appeal of the Skyline. “In 1991, my father took me to Japan and I saw a real R32 for the first time. I was shocked. I fell in love with it at first sight. The R33 is a little larger than the R32. Therefore, the R33 is much more highly regarded by large Americans than it is in Japan, as it can be driven comfortably over long distances. The chassis has been improved and the aero of the R33 is highly perfected, and the actual aerodynamic performance is excellent.  The appeal of the R32, in my opinion, is that it is not fully finished. The R34 has matured to a very high level of perfection, but the R32 is fun to customize. That’s what I like about it.”
