Hi fellas,

I know everyone has their own opinions so this thread is not to criticise any particular Skyline model but rather to pay respects to each and why people feel their chosen Skyline looks best.

Here are the basic rules to this thread; 1) we are only discussing looks, so please post reasons as why you feel a particular Skyline model looks best, 2) post up photos as examples and, 3) it can be any Skyline range including the R35 GTR so let your comments fly!!

I'll start. I've always been torn between the R33 and the R34 GTR, but overall I have to say the R33 GTR wins in the looks department. Sure, people say it's a widebody boat etc, but I love the aggressive stance, evenly-size huge oven-top rear lights and the R33 GTR front bar is vintage Skyline. Moreover, the body shape of the R33 just looks so much more aggressive with the pump guards and lines that complete the look and the R33 GTR rear wing looks toughest out of all the Skylines in my opinion.

I like (-er dislike) how you've put a greenery/forest background to each of the R33 GT-Rs > stuck the R32 in a paddock > R34 and R35 in the midst of a garage/factory theme with plastic water pipes running down behind the cars...

Hypnotherapists seem to pick up on what messages someone's subconscious conveys!! :rofl2:

I know it's a bit odd, but I would have picked the R33 GT-R as having the best balanced look anyway.

I'm sure that someone will bring their R32 GT-R out of the paddock and put it where it belongs - LOL

Hi fellas,

Terry: you got me!! I'm biased as hell for the R33 GTR. I own a R33, but next I would get a R34 GTR. But overall, I would also say that the R33 GTR looks best.

Wil: you are spot on. I just ransomed everything but I think Terry knows that subconciously I was conveying a hidden message.

Sinista: similiar but totally different as we are debating purely looks here and posters are asked to comment why.

Keep it coming fellas. Post up some pics too!!

ok then. For me it has to be the 34 GTR. Reason why....

It is so so easy to make it look super mean. There are just so many examples out there that look absolutely fantastic at any angle. It keeps the skyline origin unlinke the looks of the 35. The 33 can look good but there are only limited examples and you barely see any on the road that look good. The 32 is great, just a little old now. Every time you see a 34 GTR on the rd it looks great and super mean, its hard to find an example that doesnt look good.

I will agree with you on the point you make that the R34 maintains the Skyline look unlike the R35. Unlike many people, I am not a fan of the R35 in terms of looks at all...looks like a 350/370z on steroids. Not my cup of tea. Ok, can you post up one example of a R34 that you admire or like?

For me it would have to be BNR34s that look the best..

If you ask many skyline fans the question, 'which is your favourite skyline?' a large majority i would think would say the Z-tune no?...

Based on a 34R, which has an awesome stance, sharp lines and curves in all the right places, and a presence that the others seem to lack for me...

Just my thoughts anyways, and obviously im a little bias ha...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
