There are subtle differences though between series 1 and 2

Series 1 has a plastic piece of crap which you take out and flip to hold up smaller diameter drinks eg red bull

Series 2 has a metal clip which folds down and locks into place for smaller diameter drinks

I actually reckon its the best cup holder I've seen in a car, holds normal cans, small cans and also choc milk hehe

I've never seen a 33 without one though, weird that some of you dont have it!!

But back to the original topic, 33 is the best all rounder in terms of price, performance and age/kms :)

Thx for the pic mate, my mate "factory" cup holder look just like that.

I like this one! And it's for sale!

See a center consul for a r33 with the stupidly shallow cup holder. It also have a little metal bracket the fips up to hug the upper part of the cup

I got one of this and keeps the drink cold too!

It must perform well it's a "type s" ;)

I wonder if it were a "type r".... ;)

But seriously - are cup holders really that important???

I can only speak from the R34 point of view - but the cup holders in the R34 fail quite badly for two large drinks from maccas. I heard somewhere the guys with manual trans have issues of hitting thier drinks when shifting into 2,4 and 6 (if you have a GTR). I drive an auto and I too find myself nudging the drinks with my wrist when going into drive or decided to use the tiptroninc.

To the OP, there is nothing wrong with the 33GTR per se, but it will always be the 'middle child'. as far as personal preferences go, thats all they are - personal preferences. 32's are starting to show their age, but hold a cult status, 33's aren't as old, but still quite affordable, 34's are amazing, but still quite expensive for your average joe. i guess it all comes down to 'personal preference' and budget.

FFS if anyone thinks the standard SQUARE recess in a R33 can hold a large maccas cup then be my guest to show us.

Record it and youtube it. Place it in the SQUARE, and drive around corners. Then brake lol. It doesnt hold shit... unless its square

Without reading the whole thread.... Imo the only thing wrong with a R33 (other than the power windows) is they're too common and hence all the little snobs think that makes them uncool. I know of guys that used to preach the whole skyline religion years before I owned one and these guys creamed when talking about 33's. Ask them now about 33's and all of a sudden their not so cool as there's so fkn many of them here in Aus.

Just my -0.2c

What i have always wondered is are/were r33's more common than r34's in japan? Now days seems like just about every 33 ever made has come to Aus lol but just wondering if the r33 sold the best i guess it did have along production life 93- early 98 althouhg the r34 went from 98-2002? or only 2001?

Well, its not a MUST have but a good to have. For 12bucks I cant complain. Have a look at the picture and you'll find that the cup holder I posted actually can house a mobile phone in front too!

Customer walks into f*kuoka Motors and says, "I'm looking for a nice GT-R"

Salesman: "We have a really lovely looking R33 GT-R over here sir!"

Customer: "Does it have a cup holder?"

Salesman: "And this car has several mods that have brought up the power to 318kw @ the..."

Customer interjecting: "Yes, but does it have a cup holder?"

Salesman: "Well it's right there in the middle sir."

Customer: "Where?"

Salesman: "There in the middle sir, in front of the lidded compartment."

Customer: "You mean that's a cup holder?"

Salesman: "Yes it really is sir."

Customer: "Looks like something my G/F would use for a cosmetic..."

Salesman getting annoyed: "Look sir, that cup holder will keep any cup steady no matter what the acceleration!"

Customer: "And what about deceleration?"

Salesman still annoyed: "Really sir, if you drink most of your drink first before taking off, I'm sure..."

Customer: "Hahaaaa, caught you out didn't I? Now what if I want to upsize?"

Salesman: "Sir - Well I'm sure you can fit the drink inside the lidded compartment - SIR!"

Customer: "I'm not talking about upsizing my drink - we're onto popcorn now - SIR!"

Salesman: "What the f*kuoka - GET OUTTA HERE!!!!"

      R32 GTR Lost All Interior Power to IGN Accessories

      By Kirby7887 · Posted

      Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
