Only the owner of an r31 skyline could think it looks better than an r33 GT-R.

Thats why I own an R31 and not an R33...I would take a GTS-R with dished rims over an R33 GTR anyday, but thats just me :)

And I love my old Silhouette R31....the rb30e just keeps going and going :D

Cheers!

The R33 is the unique one out of the whole pack,

it's not as shape and aggressive looking like all the others

whilst still being very slick and stylish.

IMO it's the best looking skyline there is, even if the R35 comes out

Hmmm...bet its 33-inches.

Wide :)

Yah the 400R is up there with the best Nismo tuned cars, the closet i get to it is a 700hp version i tuned in GT4 lol. I'm not a fan of the 400R bodykit on gtst-t's though, which i've seen a fair bit. They're not beefy enough to wear that sh!t, with all those ducts n stuff. Only looks good on a dildo GTR shape.

You'll never get a 400R, let's just face it. There's what, only 99 ever made? And there's how many millions of Skyline fans out there?

Yah, stick with the rallying :P

I realise I will very likely never own a true 400r and I also dont like 400r kits on 33t's much .. a friend of mine has it on his... it's not like I don't have the most common change to a 33t either though *read gtr style wing*.

That said the 400r front bar is definetly ok by me on a 33t when you want to put on an FMIC.. the ducting to the front brakes isnt a bad idea with the new pipes covering the previous ducted cold air etc (S2).

My S2 does have a standard S2 kit and wing + lip... sorry yea I actually was the one who swapped the 33r styled wing to my T.. the S2 wing was well... gay. I bought a T because I wanted an R.. like people buying boxters when they wanted 911's... etc

Meh I bought it years ago now and I could definetly afford an R now.. Guess I kind of have enough fun in my T for now..... sunk enough money into its stopping and turning... could use more go though... Defintely thinking about a track only import evo6 to bounce around a few tarmacs and some dust. they are starting to come down to acceptably trashable costing levels like my T.

Id go 34 out of the lot but 33 is not far behind. nice a phat

32's just never did it for me... not sleek enough like an s15 nor fat enough like a 33 its sort of inbetween

but it all depends on you

and yes they look much better in real life ... oh so fat =)

+100 ....

And I must say, it's the GT-R variance we're talking about... the R33 GT-R "overall" looks toughest and most stylish... I love all Skylines, dating back to the R30's etc to the latest release R35 - but the R33 GTR has got to be the toughest thing to where a GTR badge and be named a Nissan... period. :banana:

When i see the 32/34 i think = Japanese sports car

When i see the 33 i think = Japanese muscle car

I realise I will very likely never own a true 400r and I also dont like 400r kits on 33t's much .. a friend of mine has it on his...

Yeh i think us T owners often think/do upgrade to GTRs. It doesn't make sense to get a 32 gtr for $20k when a 33 Vspec goes for around (i've seen them for just under) $30k. To go a 34 for double the price, with only *slightly* better standard performance doesn't cut it for me. The styling of the 34 doesn't make me cream enough to fork out the cash. That said, i like the idea of a track only import! You can get an 11 second monster for a fraction of the cost of building it yourself!

You can make your own 400R from a 33 GTR if you're that keen :banana: . Just bore it out to 2.8L, get a Nismo/Tomei stroker and cam kit, get N1 turbos, carbon driveshaft, uprate the fuelling sytem, cooling, oiling, exhaust, intake, intercooler, suspension, brakes to Nismo items. If you look around you might find original 400R wheels at a Jap auction (good luck).

Sounds expensive huh? Guess most ppl that buy 400R's are just buying a collectors item, cause that performance can be attained from a regular GTR with some serious mods.

Very nice buy. R32 and R33 GTR's are the best bang for buck purchase on the market today IMO.

Sounds like you did very well to achieve a $7k changeover. A lot of people would be envious of your GTS25T sale price. Congratulations and pics of the new beast please.

    • Agreed, I've never seen a 260RS specific manual. As GTSBoy said it will mostly be stagea other than the engine loom https://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/stageaservicemanual.pdf
    • You'lll likely have to make do with R33 GTR for engine/tranny stuff, and Stagea for the body. I don't know that there's even been an actual diagram seen in the wild.
    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again
