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

There are way too many S13's around, most of them are bloody Q's (non-turbo's) too. But hey, I drive an S13 (SR20det) so who am I to complain?

a lot of ppl .. mostly silvia owners (not all) hate the R33s ..  

i dont know why but they do..

I love the look of a R33 with nice wheels and kit, much better than any Commonwhore or Falcoon. A lot of S13 drivers bag R33's because most people believe a R33 is faster, but when both cars are lightly modded (exhaust, filter, bit more boost) the S13 usually (not always!) will win and a lot of S13 drivers want to prove this maybe to make themselves feel better about thier cheaper car?

Sure, a stock Silvia looks very average. But when dumped on big wheels and a nice kit, they can look awesome!

That Falcoon was abit too far in my opinion, i did find it offensive so maybe keep in mind about others, on that note i just bought a r33 gtst and waiting for delivery, I have never driven or went for a ride in a skyline before, I took my time in looking and reading about the 32,33,34 gtsts and gtrs, I went in favor of the 33 gtst, and that wasnt based on price, it looks great, every motor has its pros and cons and will also add that its not a boat or a whale like or sized car, my first car was a 86 Ford Fairlane ZK, they are what you call boats and whales.

Will also add that having a curvy style car is a good thing as it has better aerodynamics hence why we have curved aeroplanes and not box shapped ones, and it not looking aggressive is also a good thing as theres a much reduced chance of getting pulled over by a cop in a bad mood

Jesus. Who the f keeps digging these up. This is like the fourth thread over ten years old to have been dug up in the last couple of weeks. 

Not everyone hates the 33, it's just less popular as the forgotten middle child of the 32,33,34 set.

Me? Yeah, i have a thing for the middle child. But i'm weird so ... ?

Shhhhhhh... stop telling people how good R33's are... need to keep them cheap so i can replace mine when I bin it at the track ;)

R33 GTRs are my favourite.

I own both a R33 and R34 GTR and must admit I drive the R33 more often. Am planning on getting a good R32 GTR when there’s enough money in the piggy but never liked the R35.

The R33 GT-R has by far aged the best out of the lot, so long as its in immaculate condition. It is a true headturner, photos do not do the car justice as it just has a mystical presence in real life.

The chassis is by  far the most superior out of the lot. These sentiments are echoed by the likes of Akira Lida (GT500/ Le Mans driver), Midori Seibi's son etc. We all know the R34 was watered down to make it 'less brutal at the limit', even Mr Okabe admitted that. Why do you think Nissan never clocked an official lap time at the Nurburgring? Because the R33 was faster, LOL!!!!!! 

BCNR33 owners, hold on lads, the americans will quickly learn our chassis is the ultimate, we are sitting on goldmines so strap yourselves in lads!

Awesome!!

But just so unattractive to look at.  Too tall in the rear half of the front guards.  Too long in the side panel behind the door/in front of the rear wheel.  Too Magna in the front, too Maxima in the rear.  Too stupid with the rear guards coming up higher than the boot lid - made it look heavy and slab sided when it didn't have to be.  Look at all the other R chassis GTRs (with the exception of the mid 70s where they also lost the plot a little bit) and see that every other Skyline GTR has followed the silhouette cast by the first Mustangs. 

IMHO, even the R31 coupe looks better than the R33.  It looks light and tight, not fat and odd.

I don't mind R33 lovers loving R33s.  But there are real reasons why the rest of us prefer the other cars.

I own both the R33 & R34 GTR has must say the R33 GTR is my favourite looks tougher in all aspects and love the curves.

Allow me to be clear...I’m referring to GTR only - the R33 GTS’s look ugly I’m sorry.

GTSBoy, I completely disagree with you. Plenty of consensus on GTR.co.uk that the BCNR33 is the most popular to the 'general public'. The R33 GTR is the ultimate out of all the Skylines, and I've been in all of them from light to heavily modified.

Plus, americans like a car with road presence and the R33 has that. It's the widest and baddest.

That's one of the main reasons why it looks like a fat cow.  It's not just wide.  It's too tall - both at the base of the windscreen and also in the rear quarters.  It looks bulky and without any design tension.  Just looks like it's been inflated.  With lard.

I think you get too carried away with how much better the the R33 GTR is over all the others.  Nobody really gives a stuff if a stock 33 was 30 seconds (pick a number, I certainly don't care) faster around the 'ring than a 34 was.  Absolutely anything to do with performance is subject to modification.  Anybody who really cares about how hard you can drive a GTR is perfectly willing to modify it.

What you cannot do is change the fact that the R32 has a sweet profile, the R34 has a sharper edged version of that sweet profile, and the R33 just has so many wrong design elements that it is totally unappealing to look at, in the opinion of a significant fraction of people who care.  Including me.

Now, some guys like fuc[ing fat women.  That's fine, as long as I don't have to watch.  I feel somewhat the same about R33s.  When it comes to non-GTRs, the only that that R33s are good for is brake and engine donors for R32s and Silvias.  When it comes to GTRs, I'd probably rather a deal where I get one nice R32 than 2 nice R33s (assuming I'm not allowed to then sell for profit/disposal).  I'd certainly take 1 R34 over 2 R33s.

Oh.  And the tailights.  They're wrong too.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
