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.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
