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...

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
