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...

It's hard to fault the R34 Z-Tune. Definitely sexci!!

Anyone know what this front bar is called, or were that underlip can be purchased?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
