Someone talk me into buying a r33

[vxsr33]

I just got a 33.. but because performance. The chassis is better than all the other skylines. the R33 GTR is actually the fastest skyline around the ring.. by 21 secs from R32.. and 28 secs from R34.. 
 

R33 gtr 28 seconds faster around the ring than an R34? Where did you get this information from that doesn't sound right.

From the track books? R34 GTR Nur edition ran 8:28 seconds around the ring.. the R32 ran 8:21 secs. The standard are R33 ran 8:01 while the Vspec model ran 7:59 (29 seconds faster). First R35 ran 7:43 with all that new technology, better tyres, double the power just about and 10 years development from the last 33.. Pretty poor effort. 33 remains fastest skyline around the ring and currently holds the fastest drag record too of 7.10 sec 1/4 from a gtst haha

Just seems strange the R34 GTR isn't faster or at least the same as the R33 around the ring. You would think they are nearly identical with the R34 being slightly improved. But yeah after some quick googling the times you posted are right, but i still reckon that the R33 must have had different tyres, running more boost or better driver. 29 seconds is a huge gap.

The r33 was raced.. the r34 was literally a playstation car. Massive improvements made of the 32 because it was still heavily into motorsport whereas the r34 was not. Wasnt at lemans and the only place it did see the track was JGTC.. where it wasnt really a gtr anyway.. I guess they didnt see it needed improvements. As for tyres, they were on OEM tyres and newer tyres just keep getting better and better so the R34 wouldve had better tyres. As i was saying, ill never understand the price tag on the shittest GTR ever built..

Simples. Latest most refined model available and Paul Walker, F and F cult hero status. Pretty decent looking too.

Looks play a big part, but the R34 isn't that big of an upgrade, besides maybe aero. R33 is miles ahead of R32 though.

Going slower isnt an upgrade at all. Its a downgrade. The R34 is a literal downgrade to a 33. 

 

But Paul walker, F&F cult hero status is probably the best answer to why its so expensive.

I'd argue that there is more to cars than how fast they go. I don't think anyone will disagree when I say the 34 interior is miles better than the 33.

And yeah, fast and the furious has a lot to answer for now I can't afford a Supra and a GTR!!!

Yeah even i wouldnt disagree on that.. that interior is just.. over the top with awesome hahaha still.. worth the extra 70k over a 33? nah.. i dont think it is haha
