    As well as Russia, Canada and other countries I've seen photos of M35 Stageas from.  Oh well..

    photos of doesn't necessarily mean they're legal or compliant in those countries...

    What I find ironic however, is these are illegal from a safety perspective (i.e. blinding if not correctly leveled), however SUV's which naturally sit higher than the rest of us are perfectly fine yet are equally as blinding...

    Why do people hate the R33?

    Well the rise in R32 price was arguably due to the US demand, so it would be fairly safe to say if they're interested in them, the same rise will occur, unless, and I've heard some people doing this with R34's too, they're buying them already and storing them until they can be legally imported, smoothing the demand rather than a big influx.

    here you go... 19,000 USD for an R33 GTS-T...

    This one had a built turbo. Any other questions?

     

    what a useless video.. no engine shot, no tech details...all turbos are built one way or another lol... please elaborate... but seriously... post this in the TRD Camry thread, as a testament to TRD being more than just a trim level. mind you as "concept" it's really not even worth discussing until it's actually produced.

    However Newcastle on the other hand is awesome for driving

    Watch out for Kangaroos! I've hit 3 driving Hunter Valley roads, but yes they are very nice for driving.

    I still have HICAS on my R33, and agree on a spirited mountain run it's not that noticeable (as GTSBoy says, 7/10ths vs 9+/10th), when i take it to the track though, it's borderline terrifying, so unpredictable. Really need to remove it one of these days.

    I think after all the discussions, it's probably safe to say that most people do not "hate" the R33 GTR and many actually adore it most like myself included. 

    So this thread has been proven to be false. It all comes down to preference but this thread has been busted. 

    personally, if i went down the GTR road, it would probably be an R32, I drive an R33 GTS-T, and the  R33 GT-R is too similar and i wouldn't enjoy it, it would just be a subtle change to what i already have for a shit tonne more money.

    Welcome!

    Smart moving doing a full rb25det swap, rather than +t to the de, manual swap at the same time definitely makes sense.

    Are you similarly going to be upgrading the brakes to turbo or better version as well? I assume this would be required for engineering anyway.

    I have recently acquired an exemption for an rb25det skyline with help from one of my mates.

    A lot of p platers will be interested to know more about this if you care to divulge more info.

    What's fascinating in this thread though, is that R32 owners HATE (with a passion) R33's, whereas R33 owners just prefer it over the others.

    Now i'm no fan of Psychology (and it's somewhat lack or repeatability), but reading the following certainly makes sense:

    Why do we hate? The reasons are complex, but following are some of the factors that may play a role in helping us understand hate and, hopefully, work toward change.

    • Fear of “The Other”
    • Fear of Ourselves
    • Lack of Self-compassion

    Very fascinating indeed...

    The fact the soarer is a bottom of the barrel price sure means a lot for opinion. How many times do you get someone saying "Oh wow, look at the soarer". I guarentee never. It looks like someone has even stuffed their balls inside a gigantic condom.

    When they first came into the country - everyone said it.  But then they got tired and tatty and the pain faded and no-one says it now.  They look a bit like an overinflated Hyundai Excel, sadly.

    Fair point, I mean if you measure your self worth (or dick size) by what other people think of your car rather than it's technical pros/cons and how it makes you feel then that's perfectly fine. I do not. At the price point, they're an absolute steal for what you get, for it's time it was way over-engineered in every aspect.

    People almost never know what it is... I don't take it to car meets as I'm not a StanceFag, but from time to time normal people get excited about it. in fact I always have to talk it down, as they then think I'm rich or something, getting tired of saying "nah it's just a Soarer you could get one for $4k"

    What's important is it's I really enjoy driving it, looking at it as I walk back to it in the car park/petrol station. The R33 gives similar enjoyment but on a different level, most of it's enjoyment is thrashing it on the track.
