it looks pretty nice and smooth, the front needs to scoop down lower but that may be the angle of shot combined with the cars suspension at work in that shot...

looks a little bit 'camry' though!

6.5/10

but i think it would grow on me....

yeap right the r33 was a mistake, sure. same goes for the s14 a mistake year right

the designer of the R33 even admitted that it wasnt as good as the r32... the R33 design is floored in many ways... the lines dont flow... its far more bulky and just not what the skyline was meant to be... this is my reasoning behind it... i dont like the R33 GTST... in stock form... with a kit and that stealth wing it looks much better... and whats with that gay interior?

but anyway...

yeah i dont like that front end :P

I wouldn't call the R33 a mistake just because it's different to the R32. Although i am the proud owner of a 33 GTS-t so expect me to be a little biased :P Every car is flawed in some way, and as for the interior, i like it. It's functional and it doesn't look to cheap either.

most of the designers at Nissan japan in various publications have agreed that the R33 series 1 was the most flawed release in the R32-R34 range.

If you guys have got access to the japanese service manuals for 32's 33's and 34's, you'll notice that the R33 series 1 has the most number of appendices. An appendice is released every time there's a recall or a major change.

The only reason its the most popular Skyline in Australia is due to its availability and cost to import. If you look at Skyline clubs in Japan most of the owners drive R32's and R34s.

While the R33's an important car in the Skyline's evolution, for its time, it wasn't the best car aound, it didn't really push many boundaries.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
