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?

It would have sold well because they ditched the RB20

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!!!!"

lol cant believe this cup holder battle is still waging on.

im siding with Team "who gives a shit about cup holders when you own a nissan skyline"

My girlfriends Mazda 3 has awesome cup holders. I can't spill those bastards no matter what I do

[hylian]

^^ I'd say the lawn-mower performance from the engine has something to do with not spilling it.

[PM-R33]

....umm last time I checked most drinks don't spill from you accelerating but more so of turning a corner and honestly the performance of the car aint that bad, I actually really enjoy driving it. It's a SP23 and I reckon it's got just as much go as the older model Ecotec V6 Commodores so it is hardly a "lawn-mower" engine for a nice chicks car

PS: She said you should get over yourself and maybe get laid lol. Snap!

my gf has a mazda 3 as well... love those deeeeeeep cupholders haha

[PM-R33]

Hahaha yeah man they are awesome little suckers! And you can neatly hide them with the little flap thing.

Perhaps we should just rename this thread to a cup holder discussion!

Name the car with the best cupholder and why you think it is the best

[FrangaR33]

All I know is I want one and I wish I had the cash to buy one at the moment. I know the R33 has been bastardised by every bogan wanting a turbo and "fully hektik" wogs but its still a brilliant car. I plan on having mine long after they have all sold theirs on so they can all buy the next cooler newer car for "fully sick" people.

Takumi!

[Pezhead]

In America, studies have found that people's perception on the quality of a car is directly proportional to the number of cup holders - YANKS!

I own a 33 GTR and my sentiment is exactly the same as those posted here. The lines of the 33 just flow. While the 32 and 34 are much more aggressive looking, the 33 is the perfect blend of style and aggression. In my Opinion at least.

[Goombeh]

You idiots.... i got so excited and went outside with my all time fave empty cup all excited to place it in a snug little spot thinking great, I'll now be able to take corners at something beyond the walking speed of a bread stick without spilling my watermelon custard protein drink....... and an hour later, my hands are frozen, feet are numb, and worst of all, I've damaged my favorite left over McDonalds paper cup trying to fit it in every crevice which half resembled something remotely like a very vague looking cup holder....

Thought these threads were useful once........ hahaha...

Seriously though, something wrong with 33's... ? They're all just fabulous. I had one 7 years ago for three years and sold it, then went through a bunch of cars and said I'd buy another one when I can keep it as a toy. Looked at all of them in detail, got close to the 34 but just couldn't get used to the shape. And 33's are just so FAT!! Makes them just look tough, especially from behind. But love em all.. so ended up with a series 3 33. And it just sits there, but when I drive up and open the garage door, the view of that fat behind staring at me as the garage door lifts is worth every cent. Don't even drive the thing.

This isn't mine, but how can you not love this..... especially in White...

i like big butts and i cannot lie.....

White is the ONLY colour for a GTR

Tell her to get in the kitchen and make me a sammich. Also a beverage, so I can put it in my cupholder.

[GT-R32]

White isn't a colour.

I've had both (Series 3 R33 GTR and now a R32 GTR) and the only thing I liked more about the R33 GTR was the Xenon head lights, rear leg room on rare occasion and the fact that the interior was less worn (not the style - fixing wear on my R32 anyway). I guess it was somewhat 'nicer' and I drive my car everyday so that helped.

Otherwise, I prefer my R32 GTR in every other way. Handling, size, interior/exterior styling, stance, history.
