Well the R33 Autech 4 door is a "40th Anniversary Edition".

There was also a Nismo version of the Autech version lol, but both I think are the same year model.

I've searched thoroughly for about 1 hour or more. And finally come up with that.... Skylines were first produced in 1957, making the Autech R33 a 1997 model.

Hope that can help :)

Some reference links:

Oh yea, I couldnt find out how many were made. But somewhere in posts previously, i have seen the figures 400-500 ish..

Meh, another add to the post.

First skyline was built in 1957

The first Skyline was introduced in April 1957, under the Prince marque, and was marketed as a luxury car. It featured a 1.5 L (1482 cc) GA30 engine producing 44 kW (60 hp). It used a de Dion tube rear suspension and was capable of 140 km/h (87 mph). www.wikipedia.com

Edited by Brent

I think a couple of people have missed the point of this thread....

It's meant to be a register for rare Skylines which people actually own.... not a list of different models available.

If you have any information that you'd like to add about different model Skylines and/or their specifications, please do it in this thread.

great idea :) Thread stickied!

Please only post if you have a limited edition skyline :)

I know im not in Australia, but New Zealand is close enough.

I have a 1962 Prince Skyline Deluxe model code BLSID-3 same as the one in an above post. As far as I know Australia didnt get this model or the 1963 Prince Skyline S21-4 model code either. Both part of the 1st generation Skyline. Next of Course was the S5 series (S50, S54 etc) second generation which NZ only got a limited number of S54AE and S54BE models which were badged as Prince A200 GTA or GTB.

There were 39 BLSID-3 cars sold in NZ in 1962 and are said to be the first Japanese cars sold in NZ

A while back we had someone trying to tell us that she had a "factory GTR30" which of course is a bit strange.....

she disappeared before we could get any photos, but if anyone knows of this "Julie" that may or may not have something special, please let us know....

anyone know if my car is rare. ive got a 1999 r34 GT-4 ENR34 manual sedan. R33 GTR running gear in it also.

cheers luke

A bit late...

No R34 sedans with RB26 conversions are plentiful. At least 3 available on used car websites every week in Japan, and more elsewhere. But in Australia... could be rare?

Hey Guys

i dont know whether they are rare or not but my mate just got rid of his datsun/ nissan c210 skyline.

from what we could find out about it, we think it might have been an australian delivery, but not 100% sure.

i could probaly scrap a few pics if interested??

love the LM edition R33's, there was only 19 Z-Tunes released too if someone wants to edit that.

What bout my RS-V stagea :thumbsup: lol just kidding

i know there was only one series two 260RS (RB26) with dual sunroofs made and its in OZ, the rest didnt have any.

Would like to here of anyone else that has one. Mine has normal gtr air con but doesnt have abs, rear wiper and has the body kit. Turbos on the car are steel wheel with .64 rear housing and .60 from housing.

Cool thread I own an Australian delivered R32 GTR car no1 of 100 sold by Nissan Australia the car was owned by nissan Australia for the first ten years and was sold by them to the previous owner in 2001 after a change of management. The car was first registered through Dandynong company vehicles wich is a lease fleet for nissan australia and had the number plate (vic) THE GTR. I have verified all the history of the car and also have a copy of the letter that went to all the nissan dealer princapals regarding the sale of the car in 2001 wich states that the dealership that bids the most for the car would own it and it was sold to city nissan in melbourn. The car has full books and full nissan service history and is in stock standard condition is still running a set of the origanal fitment bridgstone re71 tyres and currantly has 77000.00 klm's on it. I have been told by a friend of mine that worked for Peter Brock's race team when he raced the ford sierra that this car was driven to and from race meets by Mark Skaeif at that time but have not yet been able to verify if that is correct or not. I will post some better pics soon as the ones I have are of prety poor quality. GIANT aka Russell has seen the car inn the flesh and can verify the quality and condition of the car.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
