What Makes The R33 "ugly" ?


Recommended Posts

My 2cents:

* All GTR's look awesome including the 33

* 32's & 33's non GTR look pretty bog boring without some Bolt on bits

* 34's look sweet regardless

I do want to add that IMO standard r33 gtst's are the least attractive option which somehow makes the 33 GTR's look extra nice by comparison.

You've gotta say that Stagea's are more about practicality with power & handling than about looks, but for a wagon, they look good enough!

I like my S1, it doesn't look like a racecar, but I dont think its ugly either and it doesnt attract unwanted attention :D

though it is very hard to get a good picture of it, get the wrong angle and it looks like balls

All that said I will probably kit it oneday....

Have a look in your rear view mirror next time you have a 32 behind you and let me know if you can tell wether its an early 90's laser or a 32. I cant.

It'll help Noel if you can find the rear view mirror ;)

Please don't mix up GTR and GTS appearance together.

I'd agree the series 1 r33 gts isn't that spectacular with it's low duck wing and bad front end, not to mention the interior but r32 gts isn't far behind. r34 gtt in stock form isn't great either. narrow front fenders and boxy rear end.

I'm sure a Series 3 R33 GTR in Midnight purple does not lose to a R32 OR R34.

BTW, despite what many think, r33 gtr isn't the heaviest. R34 GTR V-spec weights 1560kg. 33 V-spec only weights 1540kg.

Who said the r33 is ugly? I think its the best and most aggressive looking out of all the skylines.

I love how mine looks. all mine needs is some mags and its one stylish looking skyline

    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
