like someone said on this forum a while back; if all you can fault with a r33 is its cosmetics, which are very subjective, then you really need to rethink your argument that the car as a whole is "shit"

Precisely, Even if i preferred the look of the 32 over the 33 I would take a 33 just on its engineering and mechanical superiority.

Funnily enough CPD when i first joined the forum I had no hate for any of them It just got very old very quickly having the flat cap brigade rag on the whale for no reason other than they didnt like the shape. Well if thats their only argument they can go blow goats. The 33 kicks 32 arse by design Thanks to nissan.

Even as a heavier car it owns the 32. They appear to have difficulty dealing with it.

Farken bring it I say flatcappers. :D

Wasn't meaning you dude :P Just in general. I love my 33 to bits... I much prefer it to the 32 GTS-T. You can't compare a GT-R's styling to a GTS-T (or GTT, same diff), so it's not part of my argument.

edit::

oops just realised you were agreeing

I see lots of 32 gtrs with the rear spoiler in place ther eis nothing wrong with it

It not a towel rail like the r33

I guess the 33 is later model and so its better engineering I agree with that

If you are using your magna / r33 for daily transport then i guess that matters. but really if i wanted a two door magna then i would just put the kiddi lock on so the back doors didnt open

The r32 was built to be a race car the r33 was a magna with out the extra doors so people could pretend to be a race car and still drop the videos off on sunday

As an additional reason why the R33 isn't favoured in Japan is because it doesn't follow the typical Skyline shape that goes right back to the C210. It's that "sleakish, angular" look (lol might have to use your imagination with that) was present even on the R32 and R34, but in comparison the R33 was the odd one out. Example: R30, R31, R32 - evolutionary design, less angular with the R32. R33 - round 90s jelly look. R34 - Back to the angular look but updated for the 2000s.

Those descriptions are pretty lame I know but that's the essence of the styling in the Japanese context so I've been told by some Skyline owners. The R33 is the odd one out and reflected that in the huge amounts that were exported to the point that you're more likely to see an R32 than an R33 getting around. Also too at the time I think Toyota gave some stiff opposition to the R33 sedan with the JZX90 sedans of that era which are still fairly easy to come by in comparison, mainly due to the local Japanese still wanting them!

I like the R33 by the way, I had a GTS coupe (yes NA 2.5L boo) but it was a good decent daily and it did skids.

I see lots of them with them off too just as I see lots of 33's with them left on. Not so bad tho because they're not an ironing board like the 32.

You have no choice, Eat it!

I guess you do use your flat cap as a daily and thats why it burns your arse that the 33 is the above.

The 32 was built for all the same intents and purposes and variants as the 33. 2 door, 4 door family hack etc etc.

You got nuthin bish. suck it up and buy a whale.

Clealy a disgruntled magna owner,

Im sorry you bought the wrong car

I love 33's and S14's (which is exactly the ones the baron pointed out are like the black sheep in Japan... weird).

I love 32 GTRs and any turbo 33 or 34. The only skyline I don't like is the 32 GTS-t and that's because of the RB20.

I love the R33 body because it pairs nice, clean styled lines with one hell of a motor! 32s and 34s just look angry all the time, there's no finese to them.

I don't think anyone's arguing with that fact LOL.

Yeah you see the odd R33 GT-R in Japan, but the GTS-Ts have all been sent over to places like here for bogans to put 20x7.5 chrome rims on, and 18psi through the stock turbo :yes:

Given the lack of aftermarket support for them over there, I think that really says it all.

Also RB20 haters need to get a life, the RB20 is an inherently stronger motor than the RB25, and for most applications they can be made to perform equally well!

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
