New To The Import Scene

[ChaserV]

Hey, Im pretty new to the whole import scene but what are some noticable visual diffrences between a R32, R33 and R34 - And how can you guys tell and GTR from A GT-T(is that right) by just looking at it?

cheers

[Nizmo]

if you go into the gallery and look at some of the forum users rides then that will probably help

R32 - is the smallest of the Skylines ... squarer headlights

R33 - is the beefed up .... commonly referred to as the whale ... if you go into my gallery you can see an R33 GTST. Rounder headlights

R34 - a lot squarer than R33 but jsut as large ..... rear lights: one bigger than other. Headlights very square.

Im sure someone could probably explain it better. Pick up the Autotrader and soon you'll learn the difference in the styles.

Maybe a few diagrams might help...

The R32 is a sleeker, yet obviously older design, and can be identified by the crease mark running the length of the car, starting at the front wheelarch.

The R33, as Nizmo stated, is a "chubbier" car than the R32, and can be identified by it's resemblance to a chubby version of an S14 Silvia/200SX...

...and the R34 can easily be identified by the crease mark that is above the rear wheelarch, but not the front. **Notice I included the Nismo vented front bumper on this diagram).

Any more Q's don't hesitate to ask!

All 3 have a GT-R model. R32 & R33 have the GTSt models, R34 has the GTT.

The R32 & R33 (all models) have 2 pairs of equal sized round tail lights. In the R34, the inner tail lights are smaller (like a bloody Ferrari!).

The main difference between the GT-R and the GTs is that the guards around the wheel arches are "pumped up" on the GT-R. It will be obvious when you see a GT-R and a GT side by side.

GTR would rip da fu*k out of a GT/GT-t

Also rip the **** of all your money out of your bank account just buying it and insuring it

they all look 100% except the r33 in my opinion should have been slightly longer.

Apologies if any of these cars belong to people on these forums! All i can say is they are all excellent Skylines.

Rezz: Where those original blueprints for the car snuck out of Nissans R&D department?

Actually they're scans of the original toilet paper sketches I got from "Red Park" the Nissan Museum...

That's classic Rezz!

Heres the V35 diagram if anyone was wondering...

...and Carlos Ghosn's original toilet paper sketch for the V35... thankfully it got saved from the flush so we could all sit around and laugh at it...

[ChaserV]
