Maybe he means less desireable in terms of looks?

Most people don't necessarily buy R33s because they think they look better, you'll find most people like the look of R32s and R34s. But when talking about the GTST/GT-T market, its hard to go past the R33. Unlike the R32, its RB25 equiped, more spacious also its almost as good as an R34 and much cheaper. So the most pracitcal/cost efficient choice becomes the R33, hence their popularity.

Yer spot on... I preferred the look of the 32 and 34 over the 33. But I was happy to settle for a 33 which has more to offer in other areas.

I think you have come one step closer to deciphering the ultimate question of some 32 drivers: "WHY would you buy one of those TAXIS!?" :lol:

driving a 33 is more about the wank factor that "i drive a skyline"

i used to get the whole "race my skyline its the fastest" when i drove the gti-r..

after about 15m you never herd from them again.

but i guess that would be also generalizing them right?

on the other note. i would just say that there are too many of them out there. and too many people tyring to do the same thing. and also because of these new rules there seems to be a cutdown of younger "hoons" and their ease of getting into a car thats quicker than "billy's" commodore.

there definatly is a wank factor with most people deciding to buy skylines, but for some it purely is performance. for some its a bit of both. it's the majority spoiling it for the minority. people just wanna look cool driving about, its nothing new the yanks were doing it since the fifties.

still, that dosent just apply to skylines, s13's, 300zx's, supra's, even commodores suffer the posing factor.

posing wouldnt be such a bad thing if it didnt involve the usual challanges, slagging of other peoples cars and the general 'act like a tool' culture that goes with it.

prolly just as many if not more 32's....its not our fault they dont stand out :(

some kind of puke factor??

:P

haha f**k i'm going to stop.

my comment made before was probably not called for. but its the same across the board with every car. there are always going to be dickheads involved..

i.e. look at me.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder"

To me that means an R-32 - to others an R-33 - whatever floats your boat.

Just don't slag somebody else for their tastes (sounds utopian doesn't it ;-)

np mate, it was all in fun...im sure even you can appreciate a nice 33...i really dont like 32's, mainly the rear, but when i see 1 that i like i can still say "ooo nice 32..."

:P

lol me either, and i hate the rear of 32s as well.

as a matter of fact, R32s have become a new generation of posing cars coz somehow everyone thinks a R32 goes faster than a R33. and thats y they are so popular nowadays.

back to topic, skylines have created a very bad public impression 'skylines=hoons'. so ppl are trying to stay away from them. eventually ppl will realise how good they are.

imo, commonwhores are more likely to be hoons than skylines...

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
