R33 FOR THE WIN.....

32's are just an upgraded silvia and personally would rather have a silvia (no offence to 32 owners) and 34's except the gtr just dont have the tough look about them there just bit plain....

I guess the conclusion is R33, R34 then the R32... is this fair???

R33 the best? Nah . The R34 gtr in my opinion is the most shit hot sexiest beast on the road, it is the king by far all other skylines bow befor it . At last years Autosalon there was a grey r34 gtr close to the entrance of the show it has an awsome kit on it carbon bonnet lowered , the whole bit , some custom work on the interior but not overly done, it was just sheer perfection, it was by far the most mean looking shit hot car at the show. Just the thought of owning a beast like that gives me goose bumps.

But i drive an r33 gtst and i really love my car . It is really challenging to find the right look for the r33 it has nice lines and unlike the r32 and 34 the r33's looks vary right across the scale from completely dumb ass ugly whale to the sleek low street weapon. I guess thats the charm of the r33, not to mention it probably one of the best bang for buck cars out there.

But really if i had the cash, oooohh if i had the cash oh gee here come the goosbumps.

Hehe funny how the only people who are saying R33's look best is the people who own them, guess they gotta justify spending the money.

My preference:

(1) R32 < Best overall, guards are nice and chunky and front bar looks nice, rear is sweet looking

(2) R34 < I .. All wings and guards and lips and stuff, nothing seems to flare out much, have seen some nice GTT's that stand out but most GTR's sorta look alike. Front of most looks phat and the back especially rear lights is nice

(3) R33 < Nothing much to like about them.. See them far too much and the GTS-T's are fugly as (especially series 1.. omg..) Even the GTR resembles a magna VRX or a mid 90's model camry (you'd be surprised how often i get them mixed) They're far too heavy and irregardless of the RB25 the 33 gts-t is only JUST faster than the RB20 powered 32 gts-t which i find disturbing.

the 33 might only be a bit faster than the 32 flat out, but drive them in traffic and see which one you find to have more power accross the board.

Nicely put.....

I saw a R34 the other day, with REGO VTEKA or something... just wanna say, pretty nice.... most of all, he looked at my R33 and drooled... respect right there... dual respect to a Skyline enthusiast.

Oh ok, so it's just like the only people who like the 32s are the ones who own them?

I've seriously got no problems with any skyline - the 32 owners seem to keep jumping out at us, that's why I do it back.

In all honestly, all skylines can chirp second and that's all that matters. The End.

R33 SERIES 2 GTST hands down are the best in looks youve all seen that one that just makes you have to have a nother look R33S2 = Shit Hot

1. Kick Ass Head Lights

2. Kick Ass Lines

3. Kick Ass In General end of story.

I reckon the R34 looks the sexiest, followed by R33 then R32.

R31 = I just want a skyline, even though it is a pos

R32 = completely out of date, interior looks like a vn commodore. Its just plain and simply old.

R33 series 1 = ugly ass front (standard), especially when the headlights go yellow

R33 series 2 = I found it looks much better than the series 1, has awesome lights and meaner lines.

R34 = A little boxy but who cares! Love em

As for wow factor, i reckon that it no longer exists with skylines. Back in the day you would see a skyline and think "wow". Now you look at one and go, oh another skyline...

i think the r33 interiors r just as ugly if not uglier then the r32's the sterring wheel of a r33 yukkkkkkkkkkkk atleast with the r32's we can put a momo one which would look good on it .... nothing beats r32 gtr's there light parts r cheap and u can turn em 4wd and 2wd ..... i dunt mind the r34 gtrs there hot as well but too expensive to maintain.. thumbs up for r32 GTRSSS!!! THE ORIGINAL KING ...

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • 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
