LOL +1 with Ruby..

I dont own a skyline...but if i was going to buy one...i'd say i'd have to get a 33 lol its all Jacks fault haha

Edited by fullyhyperlite

I'm biased because I've never driven a skyline aside from my own r32 gtr.. and even then I bought it after having only been a passenger in it...

I love the looks of the 34's front... and some 33's look extremely nice, esp the gts-25's (or whatever the 2.5lt ver is called) with the rounded rear wing... thats a booty worthy of hittin'.... but I got the gtr cause it was The Legend, and it also was a balance in all aspects, of what I found important.... looks, handling, power, price, safety, comfort...other people have that list in different orders....

I think the stock skylines look a hell of a lot nicer than a lot of the cars on our roads, but some modified skylines look like the aftermath of letting a crackhead into a body workshop... not to mention theres a certain point where a car remains practical and a vast other that becomes unfeasible (ie you run out of money cause your r32 is worth $200k). Ultimately the coolest thing about most nissan sedans and wagons, is that theyre very very tweakable for a reasonable price.. and the layout and design of the cars is such that the layout makes sense, it doesnt take vast amounts of time to do a simple job... and to compare against many other cars, proportionately speaking the performance from such cars are comparable to exotics and classics.

If you got any of the skylines, or stags, or 180's/200's then you've got a massive amount of information and aftermarket suppliers to choose from. If you have a Nissan exa I'll lol at you but thats worthy of another post. Just dont get offended, everyone has a different opinion on what does and doesnt look cool. Theres nothin' written in slate about what is or isnt cool.... just ignore and remember, you got your car to suit you, and not some other wannabe pimp noob out there...

;D

Went for a drive in this car tonight, that little 8" (or 10") sub makes a hell of a lot of noise.

Kahli, coilovers, THIS WEEKEND! Me n mike will figure it out for you, I can bring my jack and stands or do it at mine. Those squeaks are shocking.

Get some proper tires on it also :blink:

And to be honest, I love the R32's, but its more sleeper, it doesn't stand out nearly as much as your R33 did at school. Bit rough but fix these few small things and it'll be mint. DO NOT paint, cut, glue, colour, or try to DIY customize anything. Looks best stock.

I'm facing the dilemma of choosing between a 1997 GTS-T R33 or a 1993 GTS-T R32. The 32 has done 20,000 km's more then the 33 and is $2.5k cheaper...in the asking prices. I like the R32 but the 33 is a much newer car and I suppose will have less issues. Not sure about performance wise (fuel consumption, lag, off the line, top end, grip/slip, etc), but I know the 33 has more power, but is heavier, and the 32 has less power, but is lighter.

I dunno what to do...

thats a hot 32 :P

not sure if you was talkin bout me in one of your first posts but i am keeping my hks mushroom pod coz im getting my 32 back ;) yipeee

although they are shit filtration they do give a wild induction sound and mad flutterzz haha i memba when putting my boost controller in and had it accidently set on 15 psi it was farrkn loudest i have ever herd lol

have fun :P

Fuel consumption is pretty much the same between the RB20 and RB25's

RB20's to me seem to have more lag then a RB25

RB25's are very good with torque in the lower rpm's

Whatever you buy, make sure it has good rims :)

Come on Damo, don't hold a grudge. I'm not a fan of the style of rims you had...be happy you didn't buy them, but even if you did, it's your car so I'll stfu now.

Kahli, you're making my chocie very difficult! I love being in your car haha.

This weekend: coilovers!

all well and good to compare specifications...but it all comes down the facts. Track/hills prove all.

In each revision of gtr there has been an increase in performance, for the 33 it was a tuned attessa, for the 34's it was reduced weight, tuned attessa and a 6 speed gbox. so we can agree that all subsequent models as released are an upgrade, however they do look and handle different depending on their design and can have parts from other skylines put into them if you have enough time/money..

everything is much of a muchness. the entire skyline range from 89 to present share a same design concept which is refined thru each and every release. That doesnt stop someone going nuts on a 32 and making it perform better than a 33 or 34, it comes down to about money and whether or not you really dont have a life outside of tuning cars...

you can't argue against someones opinions because in that case, truth is in the eye of the beholder (or in this case, forum poster)

oh and facts should be "facts" :dry:

lol don't take SAU seriously. im joking, and buying new rims. Origin DNA02

LOL sr20... :(

HAHA agreed!!!! Worse then the mighty FJ :P

32's and 33's are both nice cars, depends on what ya want..Still say best skyline is a 32 with the 33 box and motor as has been said!!

gotta remember the r33 areodynamics was improved to! the front air splitter is one change and there is a reason why the guards are so flared out, because it channels air to the big rear spoiler! areodynamics = more down forces which means more grip and stability!

    • Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything 
    • 🏆 Skyline Supremacy Meets Mount Panorama Magic 🏆 Join SAU NSW as we take the long way to Bathurst, the home of GTR greatness. Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
