This thread is never going to reach any kind of a consensus. Too many people with too many differnt vies/biases.

I like seeing most skylines on the road, the r31 is a bit pintara for me though and I don't really know which is which. The r32 - r34's are generally nice. The 33 i dont like its lines in particular the rear (and front of S1), but if nicely modded they look ok. R32 and R34 are both sweet and when modded right look very tough!

Excluding the GTR's (which all look awesome) here's is what I think of the exterior (factory standard);

R31 = Ok, but a bit long in the tooth now. Factory wheels look crap.

R32 = Streamlined, yet semi aggresive. Just looks fast. Not a fan of the rear. Looks like someone in kinda was playing 'shapes' and just plonked them on there. White & black look best. Factory wheels look crap.

R33 series 1 = Yuk! Hate the front end, badges, bonnet and factory wings. Doesn't look like a sports car, more like a badly dressed sedan. Best thing is the factory illuminated rear panel. Factory wheels look crap.

R33 series 2 = Sleek with curves in the right places. More refined & smooth look. Subtle bonnet bulge & sharper headlights still retain an aggresive look though. Much better M spec wing & front bar. Orange blinkers on the front bar make it look a little dopey & outdated. Rear end just a tad bulbous (would have looked better if the boot went straight across & flat which would bring down the back slightly too). Silver & white look best. (white best suited to red tail light contrast). Factory wheels look crap.

R34 = Most aggresive stance. Looks mean as ass looks like it's slightly higher than the front. More brute than sexy. Compact. Best looking tail lights, but cheap looking (tail light) surrounds. Front lights not aggresive enough & look to 'family car' without the eye lids. Nismo front bar looks hot! Can look like a cereal box on wheels at times. Love the rear wing. All colours except yellow look great. Yellow just good. Factory wheels look semi-decent.

Interior wise (factory standard);

R31 = Outdated (but that can't be helped) Back room good.

R32 = Outdated (again, can't be helped). But good at the time. Back room crap.

R33 s1 = Can't get past that steering ugly wheel, probably nicer colour seats than the R33 s2.

R33 s2 = Nice, but a bit too simple & refined. Hasn't dated much compared to the previous models though. Back room crap.

R34 = Best. More aggresive dash. Guage mounts nice touch. But hate the poxy two tone colour seats. Seats could have been more figure hugging too. Looks like this is where the cost cutting came in. LED a/c display not as nice as R33. Back room crap.

Engine wise, every successor has gotten better.

If I had to choose between the single turbo Skyline's, then it would be the R34 GTT, then R33, R32, R31.

For the GTR's, it would be the same order. R34, R33 then R32.

This would make sense as every incarnation has been better in the majority of aspects. I don't think car manufacturers go out to make a worse next generation car.

*Note that any car can be made to look up to 50% better with some nice rims.

think of it this way:

the r32 is the girl you fell in love with and married.

the r33 is your wife after 10 years of said marriage. (still love her though)

the r34 is the girl from your primary school who was a lot bigger than you and beat you up (just her way of showing she likes you)

gtrs:

see above but think afro-american/latina

r32 sedan when kitted though...standard is crap :P

Any of the models with the right kit can look damn sexy. Such as that kitted 32.

WTF? That's some really deep analogy you got going there. Not sure if I quite understand it though. ;)

The C210 i sold two weeks ago, and the r32 is mine.

The C10, DR30, HR31, and BNR32 are faves because of a strong racing pedigree.

There is not one that i dislike, i would happily have any of them (even a late model(square headlight) C210 Sedan with an L18 4 Cylinder, or an MR30 Hatch)

I don't really care what a car looks like, as long as it goes hard for what it is

I don't think car manufacturers go out to make a worse next generation car.

AU Falcon. :blink:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
