It just seems almost universally unpopular...

I mean people go on about a weight difference of 3% (R32 1,480kg and R33 1,530kg) like it rendered the car undriveable... but the 1,540kg R34 was welcomed like the second coming of Christ.

Am I just paranoid or do people really hate the R33?

Whoa, whats with all the Skyline bashing.........on a Skylines forum!?! wtf is going on here. :D

Personally I love my R33, albeit a GTST. My personal opinion, others like the r32 or r34 better, good for them. The fact is we all drive a car that we like........ I really don't care what others think......

R33's still beat the piss out of any locally driven car. The fact its a Nissan means it holds bootloads of credibility and I would argue for it vs most locally delivered cars at a dinner party.

Theres just too many on the road filled with kids.

I saw one yesterday with the 'commodore arm' hanging out the window.

PEOPLE-please keep your arms inside your Nissans.

pentae, i see a shite load of "kids" in s13's too, but that doesnt stop me from liking them any less.

Word!

i see more teens thinking there in a gtr in silvias than any other nissan by far

mainly cos there the cheapest and easily obtainable, by far there are way more silvias and 180s on the road than R33 gtst's

the silvia really is nothing special :D

-Love the R33 anyone who doesnt is one of the two;

Jeolous.

Has a better car, ie R34

Nuff said

I hate the R33 because theres too many gtst's of them around on the roads with drivers thinking they are behind the wheel of a GTR.

:confused:

i think you mean theres many people driving gtsts who drive like ****ing morons!

R33's still beat the piss out of any locally driven car.

hmm i dont know about that, but they look a lot nicer than nearly all locally driven cars.

i like r33s but since the rare-ity has decreased so has the excitment of seeing them on the road. now i look out for 360 modenas :D

i think some ppl don't like the R33 because they think Nissan went a bit "soft", mostly in terms of the styling i guess... (I'm mostly talking Skyline owners here - ppl who love R32's & R34's but don't really rate R33's)..

And then there's the tall poppy thing... the people who reckon there's too many around... "oh no I'd never buy one of those, they're as common as Commodores these days"...which is bollocks, count how many Commodores you see in 5 minutes on a busy road, compared to how many R33's ;)

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
