Well guys... I know this is a hard question... but someone had to ask it...

Well, here it is.... in your personal opinion, and only based on looks... which is your favourite and why (please provide at least 3 reasons).??

I'll start....

My favourite is a R33 - nice... IMO, the R32 is way too old and boxy looking, the R34 too bulky and boxy looking, the R35 too fat space-shipey...whereas the R33 is class.... nice curves, elegant looking and really has a timeless look to it... put a nice kit and some mods on a R33 - lookwise, it is king of the road no doubt.....

Thanks guys.... this is just for a discussion, no meant to offend anyone and their beasts... all Skylines are great!!!

You kidding right?

The 33 has to be the ugliest skyline they ever released!

No offence to the 33 owners

but IMO the 32 (GTR) 34 GTT and GTR have to be the sexiest machines on the rd.. The styling and body shapes are awesome .. the 34 is a little on the short side however makes up for it in power and shape... the r32 has an awesome ass end and the front isnt too bad either... each to there own but I would put the 32 GTR as sexiest on ever made.. its close tho

If I had to pick a SAU member .. Turko I think is name is .. his 32 GTR is "off tap" is the only way to discribe it!

The v35 IMO will never be a real skyline .. its a cruiser nothing more.. for the older man .. more refined 350z cross maxima look, sexi as tho!

oh come on....saying R33 is the ugliest skyline ever is offensive evenn if you didn't mean offense.....its just like saying your car is the ugliest piece of shit ever then saying no offence, but you are going to be offended regardless, even if you don't say anything.

Another uselss thread that's gonna end up in arguments about random things.

funny how this thread is concentrating on only 4 generations of skylines.

you are aware that the 32 was the 8th generation arent you?

i like those ones.

but from the models you listed, 32 and 34.

the 33 really isnt my cup of tea, but i wouldnt say its ugly.

Come on guys, I really want this thread to be an informative one...

I mean, lets share our pasions for our skylines... ok, so so far, two people have said R32... and one (which is me) believes in the R33 - ok, let's go on.... pictures would be nice too!

Thanks all

R32 / R34 are both winners in my eyes.

They seem to be built from the same sporting heritage and sport very similar styling cues. I still love the R33 too but it's very plain jane when pitted against the other two.

The 34 is indeed bulky, but when coupled with some fat rims & rubber it looks really tough and menacing on the road. Plus I guess there's also the rarity factor. At the moment there are R33's aplenty on the roads compared to R32's and R34's (well at least in my part of Sydney) and I'm sure that decreases their 'wow factor'.

:happy:

Just my 2c

(I'm a 34 GTT driver btw eheh)

These threads are no longer informative..they have been done over n over to death and it all ends up in shit!

Its like creating a thread and asking....who's wife do you think looks the best in terms of looks, yours, mine or Dans?? :D

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
