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 Orange blinkers on the front bar make it look a little dopey & outdated.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R31 = Outdated (but that can't be helped) Back room good.

R32 = Outdated (again, can't be helped).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:

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
