Personally I dont like the R33 GTS-T. Not one bit. The R32 GTS-T looks that whole lot angrier, while sporting alot of character. My favourite, is of course, the GTR.

I'm a big power person. No other car can put down the amount of power a GTR can on the street. the WRX/Evo/GTO bridage just cant make power the the GTR can, and the cars that can make the same power, like JZA80 Supras, cant get that power down and are useless on the street.

i like how my skyline looks, how it goes (still stocko), how it sounds (both inside and out, got boomin system) and that ive had it for over a year and only had to replace the clutch, everything else is going strong

Alot of people are saying "sleek sporty looking".  But when i look in shop windows at my car's reflection (pathetic I know)  I reckon it looks frig**  MEAN !  Ooooo yeah !

Nah, not pathetic at all (I do it too). I agree, the R33 looks more mean than sleek or sexy.

A S7 RX7 looks sexy...

I followed (and loved) the GTR when it was racing at Bathurst in the early 90's. Then I found out how much they cost, and I just decided they were a mythical exotic that I'd never be able to afford and just forgot about them (the same way I don't pay any attention to Porsches, Ferraris, etc).

Got back into V8's when they took over the racing at Bathurst, bought myself a VS Commodore V8, knowing it was slower than a WRX, but for the cost I figured was still worth it.

A couple of years later a friend and I were talking about cars, and he mentioned Skylines that were faster than a WRX when stock. At first I thought he was talking of those old 80's box shaped things and I said no way, and then he said no, the ones built in the 90's that weren't released here. I then became educated in grey imports.

Talked a bit more, found out that he was referring to GTR's, but that the GTS-t's were almost as fast. Wtf is a GTS-t?! Did more research, found out its specs and features, and decided I really wanted one because I could afford it. It took me over a year after that to get my act together and sell the Commodore though.

One and a half years after my upgrade to the R33, I don't regret the upgrade one iota. It is the only car I've owned that I've truly fallen in love with. The Skyline is 2 years older than the Commodore but a quantum leap over it in almost every department. There are a couple of "smart" things about the Commodore that aren't in the Skyline though. eg, deadlocking driver's door, no passenger lock, factory immobiliser, ski-hole in rear seat, telescopic steering wheel adjustment, passenger air bag, ABS (option mine doesn't have), gas struts on bonnet, and a few others. But those aside, the Skyline is still a much better car and so far ahead in almost every other department.

Even though it's only a "lowly" GTS-t and not a GTR, I still hail it. The only car I will ever upgrade it to is a GTR, or *possibly* an R34 GTT (doubtful). If I start a family in the next couple of years there's no way I'm trading it in for a family sedan. I will just pull an extra car out of my arse if needed!

I love GTR's for the flared guards.

I love the trademark brake lights.

I love the sound of the RB engine.

Great stuff!

I reckon it's great regurgitating these old threads, reflect, and move on to all that's to come!
