R33 Skyline Number 9 On Top 10 Greatest Ever Sports Cars


Recommended Posts

The ONLY reason a R33 Gts-t is any good is the strong gearbox and some may argue the RB25, although the RB20's are better bang for buck and bang for capacity!!!

The rest of the car is worse than a R32...

The R33 is an evolved R32. They moved the tank back to give a better weight distribution, and made it very slightly longer.

The R34 is the 'playstation generations' Skyline w/ traction control etc.

I like the look of the R34, but the R32 looks a bit dated now and not in a 'timeless' way. The 33 shape is probably a bit more of a 'neutral' design so it has not dated like the 32. I wouldn't say with the 33 vs 34 shape one is better than the other.

haha that's not nice :P If you're using your car to try and attract chicks, you're doing it wrong :(

Besides, I'm married heh.

That shouldn't stop ya from picking up some school kids :action-smiley-069:

This just shows what American's know

They think Veyron's are Lambo's because Akon has one in his video clip.

I bet they put a Mustang or a Corvette as #1, pfft. It will be just like watching 20 to 1..

Lol i think all the GTR's are good looking cars, even the 33's look quite good. Still prefer the 32 though, 33s are too round and boat like.

And let us not forget that the 34 GTR is one of the greatest cars ever made, king of the Skylines :D

Lol this thread was always going to end up like this huh

Should have been 32 imo. 31 to 32 was the best design upgrade ever? AMIRITE?

Yep 32 GTR before anything else

LOL 33 gts-t isnt a sports car , its for guys who like to drive around with other guys :D

6 months ago you claimed the R31 was the best ever.

Now the R32 GTR is the best ever to you.

I reckon soon the R34 will be the best ever eh? ;)

Stop fighting it Bart! Become one of the 'cool kids'....stop pissing about with the toy skylines and get a 33 :mad:

I watched the programme last night. it was some funny shit.

They were showing pics of a 33 gtst and calling it a gtr. Kept crapping on about how good it was to drift because of the awd then stated that it only made n0. 9 because all it was good for was drifting.

yeah the 33 gtst's are pretty much the best drift car ever especially with the adessa.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
