Skyline engine?

Can someone tell me which Skyline curbside kit this engine insert is for?

He didn't ask what year. He asked which kit - out of about 4 dozen that exist.

It goes into Aoshima's base R32. It's still in production and currently uses this boxing.

It should be noted that the kit already comes with that insert included already. The box o' engine you have is from the 90s when this kit was reissued several times as strictly a curbside. When brought back under their new boxing lineup a lot of older kits are getting all of their parts "restored" as a value add.

Sorry about my hasty response Steve. James, you're right. I must have had my brain only half engaged when I replied. James, thanks for providing the correct information.

Thanks guys. My brain wasn't fully engaged either. The box is covered with Japanese writing,  but it says "Aoshima" on the lower corner of the back.

Aoshima did a run of several different S-Part engine "kits", and they were getting rather pricey 3 years ago, but then Aoshima started reissuing the kits they "belong" to with the engines included again, and those are all older kits that cost at or slightly less than $20 direct from Japan making those engines kit be more like collector's items since they're running more than the reissued kit. Cheaper that way cause you get the engine you wanted, plus a whole car kit to build curbside, or further kit bash with another engine.
